Just got the Gaim 2.0 beta

I'm using it on my desktop sys. and the tabbed IM feature is sweet but I cant seem to find the setting to make it minimize and run in the tray. It will only minimize to taskbar. Am I missing something?
 
Downloading now...

I've been using gAim for a while now, hopefully this will continue building on what I consider a vastly superior chat client.

You gotta go to Tools, Plugins, and check the "System Tray Icon" plugin.

IMO Trillian is too "busy" for my taste, which is why I prefer GAIM.

Hmm, that's weird. If I had anything simpler than Trillian's interface, I would consider it too simple. Oh well, different people, different tastes. 🙂
 
when i heard that Gaim doesnt even support video/voice (at least the one i wanted to try a few months ago)...i just laughed and didnt install it. It's 2006 almost and not 1991 😉

What's the purpose of a text-only messenger ?

Well I suppose thats just you. I've been using AIM for a good five years now, and not once have I ever used video cam/voice chat.

me too. however i do like AdiumX as a better alternative to AIM when using my Powerbook.

100% agree. Whenever I'm on my Mac, I use Adium because it owns just about every other IM client I've ever seen. Adium is actually based on Gaim.
 
I like it so far, I'll make the switch. Gaim was a great alternative, and Gaim 2 seems like the same thing with some more features . . .

What's new to 2.0? (Currently using 1.5).

The one major improvement is that file transfers seem to actually work (woohoo UPnP support). The transparency thing is more of a pain than a feature, and the interface hasn't changed much for the better. Read the changelog here.

It works better for me...I've tried a couple transfers between friends, behind routers on both ends, and on the AIM/MSN protocols.

What's the purpose of a voice-only telephone??

IT'S A TEXT MESSENGER - YOU KNOW, FOR TEXT! If you want voice, why aren't you using a telephone???

I prefer Trillian Pro to Gaim, although I'll use Gaim if I quickly need to install a messenger on a computer (I hate AIM express and Gaim is the smallest package one can download/install).
