Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Installed from: Fedora RPMs As far as I know there are three IM open source clients supporting Adium theme styles: kopete, empathy, and pidgin with pidgin-webkit plugin (I think there are some less known ones, but I don't know about them exactly). It would be awfully nice if all of them used one location for these styles, so that exactly same styles don't have to be on the disk multiple times. Currently it seems that these clients look for styles at kopete ... $PREFIX/kde4/apps/kopete/styles empathy ... $PREFIX/share/adium/message-styles pidgin-webkit ... $PREFIX/share/purple/message_styles (and its $HOME and /usr/local equivalents, at least kopete and empathy should be able to look in all three locations). It seems to me that from these the Empathy location looks like the most sensible and the least program-specific one, so I would suggest it to be central location for Adium compatible styles. Would it be possible that your program would also look for (in addition to your current location) for Adium compatible styles in (in this order) /usr/local/share/adium/message-styles, /usr/share/adium/message-styles and $HOME/.local/share//adium/message-styles ? Thank you
Note that Empathy uses standard XDG locations for the $PREFIX. I search in $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_DATA_DIRS. You can get those dirs using g_get_user_data_dir() and g_get_system_data_dirs()
Outch, of course those functions comes from GLib, but I guess Qt have similar function...
Apparently this should be on developers' radar screen already ... http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2009-July/003638.html, which is awesome! I have just haven't found a bug here for this. :(
that's because there's not one. I don't track all of the work that i'm going to do on Kopete before the next release in Bugzilla. ;)
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
