About a year ago I wrote about QQ with Kopete. It didn't work at that time and it does not work now. As I switched to OpenSolaris and KDE is not really usable here, I switched to Gnome, too. And so I switched to Pidgin, too.
I miss some Kopete features, but other things work better in Pidgin. Sadly I QQ is not one of them. So QQ is neither working in Kopete nor in Pidgin. Is there any working open implementation of a chat client for QQ out there?
I understand that even Chinese people are using MSN/WLM for foreign contacts, but is open source unimportant in China? All of them Windows User?
Pidgin is work! Please choose
Pidgin is work! Please choose the Client version to be "QQ2008" in account setting. But Pidgin-QQ works not very well, it disconnect from the server often. You can choose EvaQ, whats best QQClient in Linux, but its QT3, is ugly both in Gnome and KDE4. The third choice is use a Jabber account to connect some QQ/XMPP transport server. I use KDE4, so I use Kopete login my QQ through my GTalk in this method. But another big problem is that QQ/XMPP transport server use libpurple generally, so they have all the bugs what Pidgin has.
Mmmh, didn't knew that there
Mmmh, didn't knew that there are QQ transports, yet.
Mmh, maybe there is a possibility to tune Kopete with the knowledge of EvaQ. I don't really want another client. To make Qt3 programs less ugly, you can use QtCurve for Qt4, Qt3 and Gtk+ applications. So they look all similar and more integrated...
Yes. using same style is good
Yes. using same style is good solution. But EvaQ depends kdelibs4, which is the part of KDE3. It looks different from the other applications which Qt3 only depends. I dont know how to set the style of these applications in KDE4.
