A clean, fast, compact and beauty theme for kopete.
Easy to extend trought variants for everybody having minimal CSS knowledge.
This release (2.0) includes:
* Copy and paste output is clean and readable. Thanks to Sébastien Laoût (Glossyk author) for suggestions about that.
* When you presses the main mouse button over the nickname, appears extended information about him (Protocol and Screen ID).
* If you choices a variant without avatars, the extended info includes the avatar.
* Link URLs are replaced with the word "link" preventing the break of the chat flow. (There is a known bug with this feature...)
* Compact layout is even more compact. Really confortable when chatting in chatrooms like in IRC.
* RTL support is more efficient. Some one can give me feedback about that?
At this time, there are six layouts and three color schemes. 18 variants.
Layout Variants
* Full: Avatars at right and a clean chat flow.
* Like Full but avatars at right.
* Like Full but with no avatars. Avatars appears in the extended window.
* Compact: Nick names aligned at left and avatrs at right.
* Compact but avatars at left.
* Compact without avatars (except when you presses the nickname).
Color schemes
* BlueGreen: The default, classic and most popular.
* Contact Colors: Every one have a random colo. Usefull for chatrooms.
* System Color: Your chat window will be integated with you desktop appareance.
Old variants like Neon, Dark, GreenRed and many others can be added if there are requests for that. If you want a variant, please, send me the CSS stylesheet and I'll include in the next release of kONE.
Enjoy it!

The only thing I don't like is changing the urls to "link"... but I can live with it.
Keep the good job!

In compact mode (for example, Simple colors compact - no icons) with "Group consecutive messages" option enabled the every second message within a group got shifted to the right (see screenshot)

If I click on a nickname then the user's avatar and ID appears and text alignment is ok untill I release left mouse button:

~/.kde4/share/apps/kopete/styles/kONE/Contents/Resources/Variants/SystemColors - Compact - No Icons.css
looks like "1em" font-size making the div with style "nick" larger, so it shifts to the right and therefore the next line is gets shifted too. i've made a little page for testing and i noticed that opera displays it without shifting (unlike firefox4 and konqueror)

No unsafe; you still be able to know where points the link by placing the mouse over the link, then a tooltip appears with the full URL.
Anyway, you can disable this funcionallity by commenting a simple line in the .CSS of the theme.
Edit this file:
~/.kde4/share/apps/kopete/styles/kONE/Contents/Resources/main.css
And comment (or delete) the line 65.
This line contents the statement: "content: 'link'".
Enjoy!

I like this theme because you can have the contact "icons"/pics (left or right) while squeezing in tons of text vertically.

The only problem I ran into came after trying to send a URL... First my text was stuck boldface/underline, then once I fixed that, every message I sent showed up on my end as "link" (but was showing normally to the other user) until I closed/reopened the window, and the next time I tried it, everything came through as a big blacked-out box on both ends. Turning off rich text entirely fixed the problem, thankfully.

That is, -print the date according the system preferences-.
I suggest you to check how you have configured the time preferences on your KDE.
BTW: changing this line and use another hard coded format is enought too.

But I have one minor nit, and one major gripe.
The minor nit:
Links are displayed using a different font size, which breaks the flow of text. It's visually jarring.
The major gripe:
Quote:Link URLs are replaced with the word "link" preventing the break of the chat flow. (There is a known bug with this feature...)
IMO this is a really bad idea -- you should never obscure URLs coming from potentially random people; how do you know if you want to click on it or not?
It also replaces ALL link text with the word "link"... even things that Kopete mis-detects as links (e.g. "ssh foo@bar.com"), or links sent with a specific text (e.g. "Check out my <a href='...'>YouTube video</a>."), when that is clearly not what the sender intended.
It also messes up copy/paste (e.g. if you want to forward the link on to someone else, paste the ssh command into your terminal, etc.).
Yes, it makes things tidier. But anyone who uses a chat client is likely to understand what a URL is, and what it means, and the tidiness brings with it some serious usability issues.
Please reconsider this feature, and thanks again for making this style.

Install kONE in Kopete
Open the ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete/styles directory
The kONE style is in (predictably) "kONE".
Edit Contents/Resources/main.css
Search for the word "link"
In the ".message a" section, delete the "content: 'link;'" entry.
Save the file and restart Kopete

I'll remove this "feature".
Additionally I've planned to improve the Copy&paste behaviour so, I'll work on kONE as soon as I've some time to spend on (hope this weekend).
Thanks for the feedback!
BTW: Has anybody any idea to visually handle very very long URLs without the "link" hack?

> Links are displayed using a different font size
Yes, was intentionally but now this style will be implicitly removed too. ;-)

wherever a long nickname is shown it wraps the text, but it's positioned so you can still see the topmost three (or so) pixels of the lower line.
The same is true for the topmost pixels of the date under the nickname in the sidebar.

How can I disable this feature?
It also breaks copy&paste, links are not included anymore.
