gaim contacts on desktop

mr_brightside · 2005-10-24 18:48:55

Has anyone come across an msn-compatible IM client that allows you to have your contacts on your desktop instead of in a window? I'm searching for a plugin for gaim or one of its rivals, but no luck so far. Anyone who's used a heavily-customized miranda IM in the past on XP will know what I'm talking about.

Do you mean something like the Contactlist Superkaramba Theme for Kopete?

That's EXACTLY what I mean smoon, nice find. Problem is, I'm an adesklets man, and hate to have too many system hoggers on the go at once. How light is Super Karamba?

Check out Mercury. When I saw this thread I had a look but couldn't find it, they used to have on the main page a plugin by somebody that looked like it did just this. I didn't post because I couldn't find it to link to but if you've got a little time to search their forums, I'm sure it'd be in there somewhere.

Cheers Cam; I'll check it out, and post a link if I find one.

EDIT: sadly I couldn't find the plugin you mention... also, a java-based IM client doesn't sound all that appealing (although I appreciate the info nonetheless). I might have a go at writing a plugin for GAIM; I'll go investigate how difficult it'll be. Anyone written a plugin themselves for it? If so, got any tips?
