1. Unpack the rar-File 2. Place Image in /home/user/.purple/backgrounds 3. Put .gtkrc-2 into you home-directory and hide it. 4. restart Pidgin and you should see the new background
Please, can you explain me how to install with the windows version of pidgin ? It seems it doesn't work by just adapting the linux settings (gtkrc-2.0's pixmapdir espacially).
Thanks ;)
The file .gtkrc-2.0 comes inside the folder Neo Birdie by Nopersona, but one forgot to extract a line to accelerate the menus:
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0"| tee -a .gtkrc-2.0
They can erase :)
just create the folder ./purple/backgrounds and copy which image you want into that folder then rename it to neobirdie.png. i already had a .gtkrc-2.0 file in my home directory so i just copied and pasted the text from this one and added it to mine. worked like a charm.

lol. i should have realized the file was hidden. great background by the way. goes perfect with my desktop theme.
I can't download it from mediafire... Could someone make a mirror please? Thx!
Ok, added :)
you forgot to add the .gtkrc-2.0 file in the update. =)

My .purple folder did not have any background folder ? Is it applicable for pidgin 2.3.1 only ?
nice work...it would be nice if you remove the version number as upgrading it would make it look obsolete.
Exactly, there is no point having the version number in there. It doesn't look aesthetically good either.
I have removed the number, now I will see a topic of nice icons :)
ok, good Arrangement, The degradado are not compatible with fullscreen and resize window. Good theme. pd: jodido ingles este, XD
