EvoN1020v Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Should I download gaim to make the plug-in work? Do it require a resignation (username and password)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Not unless microsoft have made one. Should I download gaim to make the plug-in work? Do it require a resignation (username and password)? gaim is a multi-protocol chat client, which means that yes, you do need a username/pass, but you can use your msn one (or yahooIM, aim, etc) But the gaim plug-in won't work on msn, so yeah you have to download gaim. Im curiouse: does the reciever need the plug-in aswell, or just the sender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoN1020v Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yeah, I'm curious about Dak's question. "Does the reciever need the plug-in as well, or just the sender?" Because of both sender and reciever need both of the plug-ins, that will be too much work, as both need to get gaim, then the plug-ins, and so on. So..?

Klaynos Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Someone should read the docs and tell us, I suspect that both require it but I don't know, it might just send images or something weird... or do some snazzy styling :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 hmm.. Id also guess that both need it, but i cant find out from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 You'll both need gaim for it to work. The rendering is done on the client-side. For example, if I type the message $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}$$ then on my screen it will get rendered; on the remote client, without gaim, it will just show up as text. In case you guys are interested (and have KDE), Kopete comes with a latex plugin pre-installed which uses the same $$...$$ notation as gaim. You just need to go into "Configure plugins..." and enable it. The rendering really is very good, and it looks pretty snazzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
