I gave it a number 5 vote because of TCL/TK, otherwise i would give it a higher vote.

[mtz4life]

i gave it seven, 3 votes short of perfect because its not multiprotocol.

I give it a 6. It needs to iron out the annoying memory bugs first. At least the one I posted. It could be interesting to add new novelties like the gaming support and the fancy winks. Though for now fixing the bugs and then adding the winks should be enough.

thanks for the feedback. Interesting to know what you think. Maybe you'll be satisfied with the 0.96 release, it has 'no memory leaks' (no known ones at least), and it should not have any more bugs about sending/receiving files.

I gave it a 6 because:

-It's not GTK (even with the latest TCL I still dislike the menus).
-No native support for voice conversations (I need to switch to windows every time I need to do this -_-).
-No support for MSN games (again I have to switch to windows for this. It's not like they're uber awsome, but my gf likes them and I kinda have my hands tied in relation to that )
-No winks.
-Some bugs with Compiz (not sure who's fault is it, Comiz's devs or aMSN's).
-Tray icon is fugly and gets bugged with Compiz.

The rest is pretty good tho, keep up the good work.

Not GTK : Tried the Chameleon plugin?
Native support for voice conversations : This needs heavy reverse engineering because the codec is proprietary
MSN games : Reverse engineering needed
Winks : Reverse engineering needed
Compiz bugs : maybe it's ours? Just report the bugs and we'll tell you! But how can we fix them if nobody reports them?
Tray icon : tried latest SVN fixes?

[Fabioamd87]

for all the operation of reverse enginering, who have major priority?
i hope audio

Viva, there is no Tile-GTK theme that can theme TCL/TK with your native theme as Tile-QT.
Which means you have to create your own theme.

Fabioamd87, Farsight is working on the Audio support. And i think ive read that aMSN will use Farsight.

Hmm I tried Chameleon, definatley an improvement  

And in compiz, the main problem is the smileys window (it's been mentioned several times in the forums - I searched hehe).

When I click on the smiley's window to choose a smile, the window just closes without adding the smiley's code to the chat text and if I click "add new custom emoticon" nothing happens. It's not detecting clicks. It works fine with Metacity tho, but I love Compiz

And what do you mean with SVN fixes? Translate

Edit: I found out how to use the SVN and I tried the new trayicon.tcl. It didn't fix the problem.
The problem is that when I switch working areas (or cube faces in Compiz), the aMSN icon kinda like grows to a size too big to fit in the tray icon area. I only see a part of the doll's head and a bit of the shoulder hehe. The icon fixes it self if I switch status (forces icon update). Maybe you guys should add a icon update every x seconds? Could fix it. I may do it in some days when I get more confortable with this scripting language.

Edit 2: I found out why the tray icon looks so fugly. ::picture::ResizeWithRatio. Thats the problem, since aMSN icon's has to be resized, it loses its good look because that function doesn't anti-aliase the shrunken image. The result is an image with very sharp and ugly edges.

The other tray icon has to do with trayicon_callback not being called when I change desktop areas, making the icon to lose the resizing.
