SuperKaramba provides a customizable user interface for Kopete, allowing users to personalize their chat experience. The convenient integration between the two programs improves messaging efficiency and user satisfaction.
SKopete is an impressive SuperKaramba interface to Kopete, which allows users to easily manage their contacts. When you first run the software, all online contacts will be displayed. However, after you configure the settings and click OK, only the contacts you have selected to be monitored will appear.
One of the standout features of SKopete is its ability to display the Kopete contact list directly on the desktop, with support for automatic and configurable positioning and resizing. Furthermore, the displayed contacts can be configured to suit your needs.
SKopete also includes the buddy pounce/notification feature, allowing you to receive notifications when a contact comes online or goes offline. The software also provides basic Kopete controls (Online, Offline, Away and Start Chat) and indicates basic presence status (online, offline and away) for all contacts.
Another great feature of SKopete is its independent resource (dcop calls) usage, which means that the software's performance is unaffected by the number of contacts it needs to manage. If you're a theme developer, SKopete also provides basic layout management and event dispatching classes via the SKoot API.
Using SKopete is simple - just ensure that Kopete is running and configure your preferences via the dialog menu. The software even automatically resizes and repositions itself as contacts go online/offline, but users can opt for manual layout management if preferred. To customize the software, select custom photos, notifications and pounces for each of your contacts in the Buddies section of the config dialog.
To run SKopete, users will need to have KDE >= 3.5.0, SuperKaramba >= 0.37, Python >= 2.4, PyQt >= 3.14 and PyKDE (optional, but highly recommended). Finally, the latest release includes a patch to add support for pykde >= 3.16.0.
Overall, SKopete is an excellent software solution for anyone seeking to streamline their Kopete experience. Its user-friendly interface, comprehensive features and independent resource usage make it a must-try for any Kopete user.
