Google Talk Question

[Dimmu]

I can't find a setting to have Google Talk minimize to the tool-bar, and it's bothering me. I don't like have a cluttered taskbar. Can anyone help me out here? Is there some way to do this outside of the Google Talk preferences? Thanks.

use trillian as a message service for aim, msn, icq, irc and google talk.

Its better than google talk.

Trillian works for google talk? Since when?

you just need to set it up.


SUCCESS! Connecting to talk.google.com server via Trillian
Haven't been able to connect (yet), but as reported on our front page, Google does have a live Jabber server setup at talk.google.com

See the screenshot for the Trillian status window for my attempted Jabber connection.

UPDATE: smash's world posted instructions on connecting to the talk.google.server using GAIM or Adium. I took his advice and got it working using the Jabber plug-in for Trillian Pro.

Here's what worked:

Jabber ID: [myname]@gmail.com
Password: [my Gmail password]

I then clicked Change to edit the preferences:

Server Host: talk.google.com
Server Port: 5222
Use Legacy SSL for connection: unchecked

For the rest I kept all the default values.

Connect, and voila! you're live on talk.google.com -- a day ahead of the release!

See the attached screenshots for the details.

you probably need to add a plugin for jabber and then setup it up.
