[gaim-migrate @ 11141] Two things: a. Added Enter as a gtk_binding to GtkIMHtml. This fixes everything. Input methods now work. The "Enter sends" and "Ctrl-Enter sends" preferences were removed and defaulted to yes and no respectively, BUT, in a very super-cool turn of events, you can now add your own bindings to .gtkrc to make WHATEVER YOU WANT send. Awesome. Someone should use g_signal_accumulator_true_handled or something to make profiles and away messages able to insert newlines. b. Removed "Use multi-colored screennames in chats," defaulted to yes, and wrote a nifty algorithm to automatically adjust the colors to accomodate the background (see http://gaim.sf.net/sean/porn-chat.png). People should play around and tweak it a bit. The algorithm takes into consideration the luminosity of the current background and the base hue to use for the screenname in generating the new colors. Note that it does this while maintaining the hues. Someone should optimize this so it skips over the floating point arithmatic when the background color is white. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
