:: FAQ

Can you please tell me how to modify the code of popupwin to modify the size of the box?
You can’t directly modify the size of the window. It gets the size from the pixmap. But you could load a new pixmap with the size you want. Simply save it anywhere as xpm and change the variable $background in popupwin. It must point the the full path to the file.
Example:
$background=”/home/fr3nd/.gaim/plugins/square.xpm”;
The font used is too small and ugly. How can i change it?
Open popupwin and change the variable $font with apropiate font string. You can use xfontsel to find the apropiate font string.
How can i activate the antialias?
You can’t until the gtk2 port is finished.
