Pidgin themes windows 7 x64

I think this thing needs some cleanup! On Windows 7 x64 Pro following the instructions over at the developer link did not work. After of two hours of trying, and then on a clean install, this did not fix the issue. I as well, on Windows 7 x64 have had no luck changing the GTK theme of pidgin after hours of trying. This needs to be sorted. What exactly did you do and what exactly about it isn't working currently? Be specific about what files you downloaded, where you put them, what programs you are running, what you are selecting, what is happening, and what isn't happening.

If you need to add a layer of security to your IMs, Off the Record is the plugin to do it for you. Not only can you disable logging and send encrypted messages, you can even make sure your buddy is who you think they are through a question-and-answer system, a shared secret, or digital fingerprint verification.

There's a lot to this plugin, so you can read more about it at its homepage and in its readme. Note that this extension is not the same as Gtalk's built-in "off the record" feature that just disables logging; you can't get that in Pidgin.

While you're tweaking security settings, though, you might want to deal with one of Pidgin's biggest sources of complaints and install the Windows Credentials plugin. By default, Pidgin stores its passwords in plain text, which many see as insecure— though the Pidgin team has an explanation for why they do it.

If it still makes you uncomfortable, though, the Windows Credentials extension saves your passwords using the Windows Credentials API instead. Ever leave your computer, but forget to change your status to Away? Lock 'n' Roll fixes that, automatically setting you as Away when you lock your computer, with whatever status you want.

We wish it could set you to Offline or Invisible, too, but for right now it can only change your status to away. You can choose the maximum length for a URL before it becomes shortened, which is nice, though this plugin takes a bit more work to install you'll need ActivePerl 5.

Alternatively, if you don't like short URLs because of the security issues surrounding them, you can instead install the Expand plugin, which automatically expands URLs from a ton of different shorteners, so you always know where you're headed—which is great, since IM and Facebook Chat is so often used to spread spam and viruses. There are a ton of great Pidgin plugins out there, but these are definitely our favorites for customizing the look and usability of our favorite IM client.
