Description David Edmundson 2011-09-01 09:28:20 UTC

This is incredibly frustrating, I've found myself opening another chat, just so I can see if they're typing.

Possible solutions:
 - Bring the status bar back
 - Always show tabs
 - Show something in the window title? Empathy has a "user is typing" icon, which is really cool.
 - We _can't_ add anything to main chat part, because it would break using Adium Themes. Alternatively we could just forget the Adium theme nonsense and just implement something that doesn't suck, where we can do what we want.

This would be easy to do and clean

Ugly

We need an icon for this. Easy to do operation and quite clean as well, but I think a status bar is more noticable

Add to the sprint agenda?
