Messaging Menu [stable] 1.1.1
UUID: MessagingMenu@bownz
Score: 29
Download
This is a Cinnamon applet, which lets you access your Messaging Icons through an icon in the cinnamon panel. Hopefully this will soon be a complete replacement for Ubuntu's Messaging Menu.
Installation
================
1) Copy the folder "MessagingMenu@bownz" to "~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/".
2) Enable the applet in cinnamon settings. (Eventually you have to restart cinnamon: Press Alt+F2, type 'r' and enter)
CHANGELOG
=================
1.1.1 Added multiple Twitter applications.
1.1.0 Added menus and probably last update until V2.0 unless someone reports some errors.
1.0.4 Rewrote the Applet So It's all my own code. Made the email clients actually Theyre own entry. Evolution is not supported. a lot nicer I think
1.0.3 Compiled into one applet. Please make sure you have Thunderbird OR Evolution installed.
1.0.2 Fixed a bug making the Email Clients not work.
1.0.1 Added two types, one for Thunderbird, One for Evolution.
1.0.0- Ready for a stable release
B3.5 - Completely rewritten Again, Autodetects which apps you have allowing you to have more than the three default apps. Less attractive. B3 will still be up. Choose your style. Thunderbird Lacks the Compose/Contacts menu.
B3 - Moved back to B1's script. But worked in the applet icon for it. Now It has the Icon, Glows, and easy to install. Icons are back in the application list :p
B2 - Completely rewritten, based off of my other applet "BetterSettings", The Icon now comes preinstalled. No need to move any images into "~/icons". The Icon now glows (depending on your theme) when your mouse hovers over it, Like all other Applets. However, the icons next to the application names are unexistant. B1 Is still available.
B1 - FIRST RELEASE
OTHER NOTES
=====================
V2 Won't be release until i figure out how to close to the menu.

Really Awesome applet! For the next release, can you add notifications for those clients? 5 stars!
Excellent! Agree with py_mint on the notifications. That would make it perfect. Thanks ;)
I'm trying for the notifications, I just suck with the codinggg.
Probably isn't going to be another release from me, anyone else can have fun with the project.. I'm trying though.
Almost perfect! Just missing the notifications. And any chance of making the clients "minimize" to the messaging menu when I click on the "close" button? Thanks for the great job =)
This is nice. One thought I had though: maybe someone should try making an applet to interface directly with Ubuntu's Indicators. That way, we wouldn't have to reinvent a bunch of wheels. Only one. That would also solve the notification issue. I wouldn't know where to begin with that since I'm not a coder, but if it's possible, it would be a nice addition, I think. Just a thought.
^^I think it's possible, just havent found it.
Does it have a github? I'm interested in help developing this tool because it was one of the most interesting features on Unity.
@lu_rodrigo , No I am not sure how to get involved with github.
I have a suggestion for your applet. I previously installed the version of your applet which is separate for Thunderbird and Evolution. I have Thunderbird. I then installed your newest version. There is one functional difference between the two versions which matters to me. Using your newest version, if you initially click on "Compose New Message," you cannot then open up the main area Thunderbird in order to read, for example, new mail. Rather, you need to shut down the message and then open Thunderbird. By contrast, with the prior version, you could do so. While I like that the newest version has an icon for Thunderbird, this lack of functionality - which is also a problem using Cairo dock, so you are in good company - keeps me using the older version of the program. Otherwise, you have written a really good applet.
I do not understand. I used the same code in both applets. Are you sure this was the case.?
nef131, Please Email me at bendloveless@gmail.com . We will sort out the problem.
Good applet, has a lot of potential to be incredible but a long way to go yet, it would be awesome to re create the ubuntu messaging menu (sorry had to make the comparison) outside of unity, and gnome-shell style interactive notifications
CaptainMark, I plan to make that exactly. I'm just new to the whole Javascript thing. I am learning and hopefully will figure this stuff out :) If anyone feels they can do it faster, feel welcome to, as I am only one person, with multiple projects. :) Anyone who decides to do this, email me at bendloveless@gmail.com
Hello, how can Twitter accounts be added to this applet? Any plans to have an integration with the User applet?
Timmie, do you mean like Gwibber and what not?
Yes, Gibber. Do you think this could be integrated?
I added so Gwibber shows up in the menu, yes.
It's possible to hide the Empathy's icon while this applet is enabled? Anyway great job! :)
I do not quite understand how to do that. I will look into it when possible.
Starting Skype open next sound settings icon instead of Skype own-Linux Mint 13 Maya 64bit. Except this is a great job!
How do you add user accounts? Facebook for example.
