Customizing Pidgin Chat Windows
Sat, Jul 7, 2007
In my previous post I discussed customizing Gaim chat windows. Since then Gaim has formally changed it's name to Pidgin due to legal issues with AOL. I finally upgraded to Pidgin and had to do a few minor tweaks to get the same chat window customizations as before.
I updated ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0
which previously
resided in ~/.gaim
and changed the widget names from gaim_gtkconv_*
to
pidgin_conv_*
. Here's my updated ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0
file:
style "pidgin-dark" {
base[NORMAL]="#000000"
text[NORMAL]="#00FF00"
GtkIMHtml::hyperlink-color="#007FFF"
GtkWidget::cursor-color="#60AFFE"
GtkWidget::secondary-cursor-color="#A4D3EE"
}
widget "*pidgin_conv_imhtml" style "pidgin-dark"
widget "*pidgin_conv_entry" style "pidgin-dark"
