GAIM 1.5 for Maemo/Nokia 770

Finished port of Gaim 1.5 internet messenger for Maemo/Nokia 770. This had been my hobby project and took me not long to get all the dialogs etc work nicely for n770 screen size.

DISCLAIMER :) This is my hobby project and Nokia has nothing to do with it.




It works in full screen mode only
To switch, use the home key to switch between other apps
[+/-] zoom keys are mapped to get as much screen estate to chat window as possible. It will work when the converasation window is in view, so you can pretty much get the entire screen for chat
[fullscreen key] is mapped to switch between buddy window and conversation window
I left the menu as they are (i.e did not oconvert them to hildon menues), didnt see a need why as the app works in full screen
Modified most dialogs and windows to reasonable sizes and where possible use the tabs


Here are some of the screen shots (eye candy)

Looks awesome man. If I ever get my ass in gear, I'll start helping with projects like this.

I'd love to see VOIP working on this thing.

I love using the gaim 2.0b3.1 with yahoo doodles. Doodling is quite fun on a laptop with a touchscreen but it would be absolutely perfect for the 770 so you don't have to hunt around for keys on the keyboard.
