Description: I just realized that kopete 0.12+ can load the message styles made for Adium. Just create a directory in $home/.kde/share/apps/kopete/styles/ and move the Contents folder in the adium theme in there.
As an example, i've attached the Contents directory in the pushpin style from http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=198
Hi! Great theme for kopete but I've found one moment: when some smile is written it is standing to the left side and it is overriding text. :( Could anyone give a suggestion?
Thanks for this theme! I like it a lot ;) Some extra design I think.
Thanks for this great style!
If anyone having a trouble with date localisation in header (so had I), just edit Header.html:
replace folowing line
%timeOpened{%B %e, %Y}%
with this
%timeOpened%
to use the default time format for the current locale.
To get the list of avaliable parameters, do man strftime.
Are you aware of the smileys problem with this theme? They are always displayed at the beginning of the line, not at the correct position.
I hope you can fix that :)
You could change the basestyle css for that (~/.kde/share/apps/kopete/styles/pushpin/Contents/Resources/styles/basestyle.css). At the bottom you can change the img from absolute to relative.
Only problem is that this will also screw up your user icons, since these are of course also images.
I tried to create two classes (.buddyicon img and .KopeteMessageBody img), but that doesn't work apparently. If someone has a real solution I would really like to hear it.
I don't know if it is right or not but I commented out the IMG {
position: absolute;
}
from basestyle.css and now smileys position themselves properly. Can someone else also try and check?
Other wise this style is really great and very different. Something to show off :D
Yes, you have to delete (or comment) it if you want the emoticons show well, but then the avatar pic moves down. As a solution, you have to replace that:
".buddyicon {
height: 64px;
width: 64px;
position: relative;
float: right;
z-index: -2;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-right: 8px;
}"
with that:
".buddyicon {
height: 64px;
width: 64px;
position: relative;
bottom: 76px;
float: right;
z-index: -2;
padding-right: 8px;
}"
Then, emoticons and avatar will show all right :D.
P.D.: I haven't a good english level, so if you don't understand me, please ask me.
I realized the code I posted above still havo problems: the avatar picture appears moved left every new message... I've been triyng to find a solution for that problem, but I haven't got any good result :(.
Finally, I decided to put the pic in the left side (it was easier because you only have to type "position: absolute;") and I've had no more problems with the pic: it is always in his place. But then there was a new problem: the pic covered the time information (hh:mm) of the first message.
I tried to put that information (and then the message) 15px down, but then there appeared a blank area under the message text and I couldn't correct it. So I erased the time information for the first message and put it near the date (near the sender's name).
I've decided to upload the new stile modified: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=45007
For the author: if there is any problem about I uploaded it, please make me know.
I've kopete 1.12.1 and the emoticons shows up strangely... Sometimes at the beginning of the line, sometimes at the upper left corner of the window...
Otherwise, pretty good style.
I found a solution to this issue. I moved the following to the top.
IMG {
position: absolute;
}
And added the following
.right IMG {
position:relative;
}
This seems to have fixed the issue.

Good to look at, and at least something else than the average style.
Perfect theme. I also love the variety of backgrounds.
I really like this, it stands out from the crowd in a very pleasant way... keep it up !
Very nice theme!
indeed!! I think recognition of your work will speed up soon as FC6 has come out which natively supports kopete-0.12+. Thanks for the good work!!
I guess that this is the best style for kopete ever!
It feels good to see some fresh innovative design around here!
Really a great theme. I love it. But I have to disable the emoticons because of the error mentioned above :/
this theme is so beautiful, i love it
Great theme! It not only looks very eh...different (in a very, very good way), it is also very clear. Keep up the good work.
VERY innovative style!! Great work!

No, after removing this, I got a very corrupted design... :(
