Pidgin buddy list question

New Pidgin user here.  I hope this is the right place and method to ask questions.

 

On the Buddy List, when a new user logs in, there’s that arrow pointing to the right (towards the user’s screen name) that stays up for maybe 10 seconds (before changing to a green light showing that the user is online).  Is there a Preference or a plug-in that I can add to actually illuminate the user’s screen name – maybe in bold plus a different color – that would stay up for as long as the arrow is in place?  I have more than 100 names on my Buddy List and it would help a ton if a user that has just logged on would be easier to spot.

 

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, there is not, but you could use the Guifications
plugin to have "toaster" style notifications for events such as this.

Thanks.  I'm using Pidgin 2.6.3 -- but the Guifications plugin appears
to work only with 2.0.0.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

I'm using Pidgin 2.6.3 (portable application) and have an issue with one of my contacts appearing online when they are actually offline.  He has a mobile on the account so not sure if that makes a difference but I would like to know if there is any way I can correct this or adjust it so that the contact appears online only when he is online.

Thanks.
