LightIdea Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Wow, it's been a while since I compiled something for linux, but I'm glad to say that compiling galaxium messenger is great! Here is the link for Galaxium, there should be pre-compiled binaries out there. http://code.google.com/p/galaxium/ Here is a screenshot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 This is a great IM program, and it's sure to be a major player. Well worth keeping an eye on how this develops. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buu Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Looks great! Superior in interface design/layout to pidgin and a few of its competatiors... ONE SMALL THING however and that is, does it support webcam. So many free and open clients out there, all missing basic webcam/audio functionality. Gonna keep and eye on it anyway My bad, noticed its on their "Currently Working" list. GREAT NEWS! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It looks sorta like Digsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 As far as I know, aMSN has the best webcam support (although I understand Kopete works well too, though I haven't tried it). As I see it, the problems lies in the fact that there is no one, single easy way of implementing webcam support in Linux, so devs have to find their own methods for doing it. There is work underway with the Gnome Empathy/Telepathy project which may see the light of day in the next Ubuntu release, and that looks promising, but as is so often the case, until developers can figure out the solution, features like cam support and direct file transfers are often given a lower priority than others.

DomZ Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'll have to give this a whirl, it looks pretty good. I'm currently using emesene, and some cool information is that the emesene dev's (As well as others) are joining forces to make aMSN 2, which will have support for multiple GUI frontends :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The2 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 looks nice! Only KDE app I'm using is Kopete...this might do the work instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDevil Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks neat. As mentioned previously, most of them lack video conf support. Amsn does, but its interface isnt the most pleasent. I use amesene which also looks neat, but no cam support. Anyways :rolleyes: Kopete does, but has some terrible performance issues when using it lol.
