#pidgin-im-gnome-shell-extension
Make Pidgin IM conversations appear in the Gnome Shell message tray
###Issues
- Messages appear unseen in Pidgin after expanding notification in message tray. Don't know how to set unseen state in Pidgin
- No notifications on locked screen even if notification settings allow it. Because Gnome Shell disables all extensions on screen lock
- No notifications for conversation after right-click on conversation in the message tray. Left-click on conversation icon in the message tray to fix.
###Features
- Supports Chats and IMs for now (i.e. no file transfers or attentions)
- User icons
- User status as secondary icon
- Sends typing state
- Shows unread messages count
- Tries to restore unread messages count after screen lock/unlock
- Search provider for buddys from connected accounts (can be disabled from extension preferences)
Supported Gnome Shell 3.10, 3.12, 3.14, 3.16
