Studio-33 has spotted some intersting work being done on the im_client by Slaad, im_kit contributor and all-around foutain of cool application ideas (QueryWatcher, Snoopy, etc). First off, he’s added a customisable toolbar – if a program is capable of opening People files, a link to it can be placed in ~/config/settings/im_kit/im_client/toolbar and its icon will show up in the im_client’s toolbar. Clicking on the toolbar icon will run that application on the current person; on Slaad’s blog, he shows a screenshot with a Snoopy icon added to the toolbar. The second change he’s made is to replace the “User is typing…” notification with an icon (screenshot). And if that weren’t enough, he’s also been hacking away at the info_popper lately. Great work, Slaad, I can’t wait to try out the modifcations.
