spchat (NO FILES. JUST A SCREENSHOT)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Ok, this is something I doubt anyone would want (my code is sloppy), but it does work and I thought maybe someone would be inspired to make it better.
I basically just created a widget that displays images (which I made on southparkstudios.com) based on my contacts status. The black and white means Offline, eyes closed is away, and the other is Online. I wrote a little bash script to swap the images:
#!/bin/bash
#Image change script
basefolder=/home/kris/spchat
status="dcop kopete default contactsStatus"
#start with all offline
cp -f $basefolder/offline/* $basefolder
#main loop (if kopete is running)
while [ `dcop |grep -c kopete` != 0 ]
do
statuslist="`$status`"
while read contact
do
if
[ `echo $statuslist |grep -c "$contact (Online)"` != 0 ]
then cp -f $basefolder/online/"$contact"* $basefolder
elif
[ `echo $statuslist |grep -c "$contact (Away)"` != 0 ]
then cp -f $basefolder/away/"$contact"* $basefolder
elif
[ `echo $statuslist |grep -c "$contact (Offline)"` != 0 ]
then cp -f $basefolder/offline/"$contact"* $basefolder
fi
done < $basefolder/contacts.txt
sleep 30;
done
________
so, the widget displays whatever image is in the basefolder and the script copies the appropriate image to that folder (from the away, online, and offline subfolders).
Anyway, I thought it turned out looking ok (although, I might change the widget background :)
Also, I'll eventually add more dcop functions so i can drag n drop files, or start a chat.. maybe grab the incoming message and use convert to place it on top of a cartoon text balloon and draw that next to the appropriate avatar.
Comments? Too much?? :)

I would post the theme and script, but god.. what a mess. Also, I doubt kde-look would want me to post those avatars. I'm not sure how that works. I made them using the sp character generator at southparkstudios.com.
Like I said, I'm hoping somebody gets inspired and makes some kinda cool kopete` sk widget :D
