 Replying to [comment:3 skimat]:
 > -The room list is not easy to find so instead to put it it in tools, it
 could be under or above join chat.

 I don't know what to say about this one. It doesn't make a huge difference
 to me and I can see arguments for both places.

 > -I need to change account when i want to connect to a irc chat room that
 is on another channel > so it could be easier if could have a single
 account that ones connected joins chat rooms that are located in many
 networks

 I don't follow.

 > -the password case is explained with the pictures - when PC starts up
 pidgin shows up on the desktop - there are two windows the buddies and the
 "enter your password for this account" - buddies window is very
 minimalistic but "enter password " is huge compared to the function so if
 this could be resized to the minimum point where we could only see the
 input case this be great.

 If there is not text, how would you know what it was? I certainly
 didn't... it looked like a buddy list find window. I don't think this is a
 problem.

 > -at last in an irc channel an annoying part would be the messages
 appearing such as "nanana connected" "nonono leaved the room" and so on
 taking up the whole conversation screen

 Take a look at the Join/Part Hiding plugin.

 > having a separate window for those information would be cleaner - this
 window could even show the state of selected chat mates

 We have the user list in the chat room. A separate window would not be
 more useful, but less, as it'd be less associated with the chat. When I
 have five chats open, I don't want five useless windows.
