gtk1.2 code in anything except the buddy list window is a bug. this patch from
David Brigada (jsi):
" This patch changes the mechanism in which Gaim changes
the colors on tabs for typing notification, new message
notification, etc.. The previous mechanism was causing
the font to change (possible mix of gtk1.2 and gtk2.0
code). Instead of loading the label's preferences with
gtk_widget_get_modifier_style(), changing the color
(with a -> edit), and then saving the label's
preferences with gtk_widget_modify_style(), it changes
the color with gtk_widget_modify_fg(). This fixes the
font problem on my computer. The GTK 2.0 API docs seem
to suggest the use of gtk_widget_modify_fg() over
gtk_widget_modify_style() when necessary."

libfaim pre-0.90 or so ---------------------- This is libfaim, the purpose of which is to implement as much as the AOL AIM/OSCAR protocol as possible (which should be all of it). After over two years of development, its still nowhere close. This is not a full client and never will be. libfaim only implements the routines to implement a client (ie, there's no user interface). Status ------ I would not recommend using this version of libfaim in any form yet. It's beta-quality and I know it leaks memory quite badly. It seems fairly stable, however. YMMV, YAYOR, etc. I suppose I should say regardless of that warning, that several clients use it and people use those clients on a daily basis (in particular, me). Also, you're probably reading this from a CVS version, since I haven't made a release in a very long time. The CVS version changes fairly rapidly when I'm in the mood, so a version you checked out an hour ago may be better or worse than a version you check out now. Building -------- Everything in this libfaim dist should build cleanly on any UNIX(-like) operating system. Originally developed on Linux+glibc. Past versions known to work on Linux+libc5, FreeBSD, HP/UX, Solaris, Mac OS X Server, Win32 using VC++ 98/6 and others. libfaim builds as both libfaim.a and libfaim.so. If your platform for some reason does not support dynamic libraries (eg, you get errors when building libfaim.so), you'll have to tweak the makefiles a bit to get the utils/ directory to build. Otherwise, just do a 'make'. I don't believe I use any specific features GNU make, but if something fails, make sure you have it. And bash too. Accessories ----------- In utils/, you'll find a few things extra: faimtest: very rudimentary front-end. no user interface, but does illustrate the basics of logging in and sending/recieving messages and buddy list notifications. Potential front- end authors start here. aimpasswd: utility to change an AIM password without using a full client. Note that at the time of this writing, this didn't work quite right yet. See the top of the code for latest status. License ------- libfaim is covered under my copyright under the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License, as documented in the file COPYING in the top level directory. Documentation ------------- Unfortunatly, there is not currently any documentation on the libfaim API. Use the source and utils/faimtest/faimtest.c as a reference when coding front-ends.
