Guest ump Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Just downloaded a Theme for Gaim which adds some funny smilies to gaim but I can not figure out what to do with it and can't find any instuctions on what to do with it , the theme I downloaded is Filithysimilies I am running Gaim .59.8 on MDK 9.1 Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 gaim .59 doesn't have smiley themes (if i remember) you'll need to get a newer version of gaim (check texstars repo. for the newest RPM he's made...for the address to it look at the Linux and 2003 post in Everything Linux).

tyme Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 i suggest you get this RPM and this RPM. the first is gaim .66 (.67 is actually the latest, but you'd have to compile that from source so if you want to do that just jump over to gaim.sourceforge.net and grab the source code) and the second is an RPM of basically all the smiley packs that are on the gaim site. I know that works, because I used it before ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidzoo Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Wait a minute, is Gaim themeable now? I have the current version (on my laptop at least) and I haven't noticed anything like that. If so, that's pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 just the smilies. (the interface is themeable through gtk2/gnome, of course!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Ok, so here's a question then; can I use a gtk2/gnome theme on my gkt2 aps while still in KDE? I'm not a huge fan of Gnome and I really like the setup I have for KDE; I would just like to theme my Gaim window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 yup, just have gnome-settings-daemon start with X or when you login to KDE and then run gnome-theme-manager to change themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
