Can't retain changed fonts on Gaim
Hi,
I have Gaim v0.81 bundled with Knoppix 3.6 which I have Hard-Disk installed. I use it to chat on the Yahoo network. The problem I am facing is that while chatting in a chat room (channel) when I change the styling of whatever I am typing, for eg. make my fonts green or make them bold, it gets displayed in the room, but the next time I type them all their styling is lost and they return to the default. I am not being able to retain them. The Gaim FAQ says the following :- Quote:
However it doesn't solve my problem as I want to be able to change the formattings of my outgoing messages and retain them for the whole of my current session. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
The FAQ is talking about the font that your computer uses to show your buddy list etc. The formatting on outgoing messages is controlled through Preferences->Interface->Conversations->Message Text->Default Formatting
Not really sure how much good it'll do you though. Most people I know strip incoming text styles as most people pick horrid colors to try to have a conversation in ... What's wrong with black on white? |
Thanks a lot. Following the menu path you described solved my problem.
Actually Gaim shows the text other people type in quite a controlled eye friendly manner by default and I am not changing it. I wanted to change the formattings of what I type since in most of the Yahoo just black on white at size 10 makes you as good as invisible to others. Well, thanks again, this has helped a lot :) |
