Customizable chat window through themes like AdiumX

[edubxb@…]

Support for AdiumX Chat Styles.

Another Jabber/GTalk compatible client, Landell, has support for this using Mozilla Gecko Engine.

Yes, I second that, it's like a standard now: adiumx, kopete and landell...

what do you mean exactly, what is custumizable? and how?

[edubxb@…]

Make that the textarea or the widget that show the conversation text and images renders all using the mozilla gecko engine, this permits to change the style of the chat window through html and css.

we use a htmltextview that is in the sources. But it seems someone is working on integretaing GTK Webkit: #3724

WebKit? is slow, causes freezes and hangs...

Gecko 1.9 is mature.

WebKit? is much faster and lighter than Gecko engine.

Gecko 1.9 is mature.

Yes, Gecko is mature, but WebKit? too, although not in Windows and GNU/Linux, because has been ported recently.

I'm using Firefox Nightly and it is very fast. When compared Epiphany-Gecko and Epiphany-WebKit? (both SVN/Nightly-based) and the Gecko one was faster.

The WebKit? one is freezing, hanging and crashing. I do not find such engine as good for choosing everywhere on desktop.

And remember, that GNOME cooperates with Mozilla since years.

So it is not mature if was ported recently :P .

Yes, Nightly version is fast, I'm tried Firefox 3 beta 4 and is impresive, but the previous stable version is slow and memory eater.

The WebKit? team is at work to provide and stable release. Another browser that uses the WebKit? engine is Midori and is pretty stable and fast.

And remember, that GNOME cooperates with Mozilla since years.

For quite some time the GNOME/GTK+ team works together with the Webkit team.
