Product's homepage
Here are some key features of "Pidgin Birthday Reminder":
· Scanning Birthdays: Every 2 minutes the plugin chooses a buddy to query its user info which is similar to “right click -> Get Info”. This is supposed to work on ICQ, AIM, XMPP and MSN protocols in case the buddy has entered its birthday. The birthday can be set manually for all protocols.
· Checking Birthdays: Stored birthdays will be checked at midnight or whenever an account goes online. Of course this can be triggered manually too.
· Notification: The plugin reminds you using either a mini dialog in your buddy list or a notification window or a birthday melody or, last but not least, an icon next to your buddies entry in your buddy list. Enjoy the screenshot!
· Tooltip: Shows your buddies (stored) birthday on its buddy list tooltip.
· Overview: There is an overview provided which enables you to see all (stored) birthdays.
· Localization: There is just a german translation for now. I would be glad if you like to translate it into other languages.
Requirements:
· Pidgin
