Review request for Kopete.


Summary
-------

I was browsing through the code thinking of some way to improve the chat window.

I had 2 problems. I wanted to see the contact's picture in a reasonable format (bigger than in the chat view) and the participants list view looked kind of boring/empty most of the time, so I came up with this patch that adds a delegate that can do that.

It could be improved a little bit but here you can see (mostly in the screenshot) what the patch does and does not.

Hope you find it useful.

I haven't seen the code yet, but here are some thoughts.
Looking at the screenshot, it seems to me that the image is kinda lost in the contest. Instead of that, it would probably be a better idea (if seeing the big picture is really desired) to arrange items in icon mode instead of item mode, and then set a bigger icon size to them.

Wouldn't it be enough if we just had a tooltip showing all the info including the contact icon?

I don't want tooltips. People wants to be able to see the chatee at anytime. Plus all other clients do that and we have a lot of wasted space there :/.

Here we have 2 icons: the state and the picture. Moving to icon would provide a very big status notification.

I like the idea of adding the picture to the participants list. Regarding the layout, what if we provided a larger picture in the participants list next to each participant? I'm thinking 128x128 at least.

Review request for Kopete.


Changes
-------

Fixes positioning issues.
Let the model provide the image instead of doing dirty casts.


Summary
-------

I was browsing through the code thinking of some way to improve the chat window.

I had 2 problems. I wanted to see the contact's picture in a reasonable format (bigger than in the chat view) and the participants list view looked kind of boring/empty most of the time, so I came up with this patch that adds a delegate that can do that.

It could be improved a little bit but here you can see (mostly in the screenshot) what the patch does and does not.

Hope you find it useful.

The size depends on what we get. the metaContact's picture is usually 96x96 in this case. I don't know if we're scaling them ourselves or it's the protocols that don't give us more.
