How do I use the plugin? #18

Closed bkraul closed 5 years ago

bkraul commented 8 years ago

I have added the plugin to my windows pidgin installation, and I can see it is activated. It has added a 'Protocol Icon' option to the Advanced tab of the account, in the form of a free type textbox. The question is, what do I put there? I have tried putting the full path to the file (a 16x16 png file), I have tried putting just the file name... assuming that it would look under the global pidgin icons folder, but with no luck. What icon formats does your plugin support? I think it would be nice to add this information on the git homepage for the project. Thanks!

Ah, that only partially migrated over from google-code. The wiki on the old site ended up as a separate branch on github. https://github.com/EionRobb/pidgin-icon-override/blob/wiki/ProjectHome.md

I'll keep this issue open until this is added back to the Readme.md of the new project

Copied from that:

How to use

After installing and enabling the plugin, go into your account preferences into the advanced tab. Down the bottom should be a new option 'Protocol Icon'. Fill that in with the name of an image file in your pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/16 directory, excluding the '.png'. eg if you want to set the Yahoo icon, type in 'yahoo'
