<br>Hello,<br><br> I am Sharat. I am doing engineering in Computer Science. I am very much interested in involving in the open source community but haven't been able to find a way in.<br><br>I use empathy (on ubuntu 11.04) and I always felt that the indication (the image in the tab bar) when the other person is typing is not easily noticeable. So I decided to try and change it to something like displaying 'user is typing...' as in other chat applications. I downloaded the source code and was overwhelmed going through it. I found the function updating the chat window tab but I couldn't understand as I am entirely new to GTK. <br>
<br>How should I proceed with this? Is it necessary to have a very good knowledge of GTK? I don't know how to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Sharat<br></font></div>
