Anyone use it? If so, I'm wondering something and can't seem to find an answer.
I have to use it because I have a few friends who only use that (for whatever reason). It works nicely too, including the easy chat via microphone feature.
Anyway, one thing that kinda bugs me, is that I want to leave it on 24/7, but I don't want people knowing when I am at my computer or not, and I don't think I can do that. I can't change my status to "do not disturb" or anything, because they can see me change my status and I look like a miserable git. What I want is to just remain with a yellow icon and "Idle" next to it. But I think when I move my mouse, I become green and "Available" again, and I don't really want that. I tell friends I'm going to bed, and then I can't sleep so an hour later, I quickly pop my PC on to start some music playing (sometimes helps me sleep), or to check my email (puts me to sleep too), and the activity seems to alert google talk that I am no longer idle, and my icon becomes green, and all the people on my list start sending me messages again...
I'm not 100% this is the case, but it seems that way to me. So basically I'd prefer it to stay idle until I do something on Google Talk, and not have it wake up just because its in the background and I load up Winamp or something.
Anyone know if that would be possible to tweak? Inane I know but... there you go![]()
