Description (Last modified by cbarrett)

It's hatching!

There's no reason the EMD shouldn't be as good as the iChat menu item.

This will be easier with a presence API, but can be done without one.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

This is a real problem, and not something that should be implemented. This requires a third party utility, menu cracker or menu extra enabler.

Menu extra enabler is from unsanity. Half of our audience just plain doesn't trust them. Menu cracker has the name cracker in it, and breaks every new os revision.

Beyond that this gives us another dependency. Also it means that if apple decides to change things beyind the scenes, which they can do on a whim, it breaks functionality for us altogether.

The status item itself is an eyesore though. I propose we remove it entirely. In either case this ticket is invalid

Removing milestone, since it's misleading on the roadmap.

  • milestone set to Adium X 0.90.

Whee, eating my words here, we should do like growl and run a daemon that lets the evil duck become truly evil, while it's big brother in the dock can do nothing about it

  • summary changed from EMD grows up; becomes a Menu Extra to EMD grows up; runs around on its own!.

While I listen to french music, I feel the title needs changing

  • summary changed from EMD grows up; runs around on its own! to Improve EMD (Menu Item).

Summary probably confused hoards of users.

I'd like to see this done for 1.0.

Actually, speaking as the author of a menu extra that supports a fair chunk of users, MenuCracker does NOT break from OS revision to revision, nor even across major 10.x revisions (as it was originally written and maintained under 10.2 IIRC) and continues to work in 10.3 and 10.4. That doesn't necessarily endorse this route, it simply means the "it breaks all the time" argument is null and void.

  • description changed.

Removing menubar extra portion, there is no reason to have this in Adium.

Moving to 2.0. That's when we're switching to chatkit, and this would be resolved better by that action (unless SoC covers it)

Not going to block a release one any longer, so moving to sometime after 1.0 until we know when it'll be fully baked.

With distant objects, this might be a very feasible idea. Gonna check it out.
