Description:

This kopete plugin lets a Thinkpad's light flash on every incoming message. The flash interval as well as the flash duration are configurable via GUI by the plugin.

The kopete-thinklight plugin was inspired by gaim-thinklight http://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/archives/38-Created-gaim-thinklight.html.

Please read INSTALL before compiling!

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi,

are there plans to make this plugin work with KDE 4?

regards

It has already been ported to KDE4 and has been moved into the official KDE repository [1]. I'll probably publish it during the next few weeks.

Best wishes.

This plugin still works fine on kde 3.5.9 and kopete 0.12.7.

A gentoo ebuild can be found here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223903

I would love to see some more improvements to this:
* being able to configure when the light flashes, for example only when there is no chat window open (the kopete-ktts plugin offers something like this and more - this could prevent "light spam")
* read out the incoming text in morse code using the light (I would love to practice my morse code reading that way)

hi fellas, Could U make a plugin that would make the num-lock, scroll-lock and caps-lock lights flash? (when I used Windows, I used Miranda and it had this plugin and it was amazing, when receiving a message, all three lights started to flash for a given time or light in a given sequence)

thnx

btw, the issue with the kde-headers happens to me too, and when compiling, it writes no headers installed and this will fail. I have ubuntu 7.04, kde 3.5.7. :D

thnx

For kopete-thinklight to compile properly on (k)ubuntu you need to have kdenetwork-dev installed. Good luck!

Hi, I've installed on mandriva 2007.1 with kde 3.5.7 and kopete svn, but it's not working.No Module present in kopete menu :( What's wrong ?

You must specify "--prefix `kde-config --prefix`" on the command line for configure. This will install the plugin in the KDE installation directories. See the INSTALL file for more information.

i have this message :

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

what is the problem ?

burnie

To give you a more detailed answer I need to know what distribtuion you are using. I suspect, however, the headers to either be installed somewhere else than under prefix/of/kde/include/kde or that you are missing the development packages of KDE and kopete at all.

my distribution is mandriva spring 2007

It seems your system is missing the kde headers. Since I don't have Mandrive I can't tell you exactly what packages you need to install. Anyway, my guess is that you need to install the package libkdecore4-devel. If there is something like a kdenetwork-devel package install this too.

very nice idea. It would be good to have flood protection.

Nice idea. Would be nicer, though, if the plugin would work on non-thinkpad laptops. I'll try to make it work with my ASUS leds, which are toggled by writing to a proc-file.

Will get back to You if that will succeed ;)

Changed file path to /proc/acpi/asus/mled (mail led) and strings written to file to 0 and 1, but it does not work :/

I might have made a mistake somewhere, but can't see where would it be...

burnie

Did you also change strings to "1" and "0" that are searched for in each if condition?

Sorry that I can't help you more on this... I do not own an Asus notebook. However, if you'd figure out how to do this, I'd love to integrate Asus-support into the plugin.

Good Luck!
