Fahhem + Pidgin

Currently: A holder for Fahhem's plugins and possibly patches for the Pidgin/Finch/libpurple community. Keep checking back (bookmark me!) for updates.

 

GTalk Invisible 0.922 [zip] [tar.gz]

This plugin enables the long-awaited Invisible status for Google Talk users (works for Finch, Adium-X, and other implementations of libpurple as well). According to the ticket, this will never be implemented in the source code itself.

The source C-file is included in the above zip-file. If you don't know how to use it, the CHowTo page is a great place to start. Feel free to add the GList calls to add multiple account support.

Windows

To install, download and extract the zip file. Move the .dll file (or the one with gears in the icon if you can't see extensions) to "C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins\". Restart Pidgin and enable it (Tools->Plugins).

Linux

To install, download and extract the tar.gz file. Move the .so file to ~/.purple/plugins and restart Pidgin.
