Use case for per-protocol icons

[Darrell Michaud]

While trying to find ways to enable the old-style per-protocol icons I
stumbled upon this thread:

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/414. It suggests emailing additional
use cases to this email address.

 

My use case is that some of the IM services I use are secure. They are
encrypted-end-to-end or at the very least client-to-server where I or my
staff directly controls that server.

 

Other IM services are useful for me to use occasionally, but do not
operate at the same security level. The per-protocol icons were very
helpful in quickly providing an efficient visual cue which level of
security applied to the conversation window.

 

Also, some of the per-protocol icons were cute and it was aesthetically
pleasing to see a mixture of them, compared to the new setup.

 

Thank you for pidgin.
