Question

I want to reply to IM notification of pidgin popup in unity desktop, rather than opening a new window of concern IM. It would be much better to rply from popup notification message itself of piding. Anyone with solution please

I want the functionality as that is in gnome shell. where popup message apper-> you write the message within buuble to sent. Just two activity away

Currently in unity desktop popup message appears-> we click on blue notification icon in menu bar -> click the appropriate message -> new window appear -> write the message to sent. so long activities. I want it in simple two steps

Answer 1

Unity's notification are unobtrusive & can not be interacted with. Unity provide messaging menu (indicator-messages) for that purpose.

First you need to install the package pidgin-libnotify.

Run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pidgin-libnotify

Now open pidgin add a account & enable libnotify plugin from Pidgin->Tools->plugins

Then it will appear under messaging menu (as shown in the image) & keep running in background even if you close the main window.

When your contacts sends a message, the indicator will turn blue & you will see your contact under pidgin sub-menu (as shown in the picture). Click on that & it will open the contact with latest message.

DONE!
