YAAOSC is a software that checks the online status of AIM, providing users with real-time updates on their contacts' availability. It is a simple yet effective tool for managing communication on the AIM platform.
One of the biggest advantages of this widget is that it doesn't require iChat to be running all the time. This is a game-changer for those who prefer to keep their desktops clutter-free. Even if you're not logged in to AIM, the widget still displays whether your buddy is online or offline. If you are using iChat or Adium, however, the widget is able to get the status and status-message from those applications and display an appropriate color.
Customization is key with this widget - you're able to set the refresh interval and can click the widget to re-check a buddy's status or open iChat/Adium. While the previous version would open a new message window in iChat/Adium, this update has streamlined the process to simply open and activate the appropriate chat application.
This release also includes some exciting new features, such as support for Google Talk and improved Jabber support. The widget now operates more smoothly when no chat application is running, and various small redesigns have been implemented. Additionally, the preferences have been cleaned up and various bugs have been fixed thanks to feedback from users.
Overall, "Yet Another AIM Online Status Checker" is a must-have for anyone looking to simplify the process of keeping track of their buddies' online status. It's intuitive, customizable, and now even more effective than ever before.
