Gentle Glow for Adium

Hacking

If you'd like to start hacking on GentleGlow (and who wouldn't), you're going to need a recent version of Ruby and a few gems.

The bare necessities

These are the gems that are absolutely required to compile.

  • coffee-script
  • json
  • rake
  • sass
  • tilt

Test-driving your changes

You'll probably want to install Sinatra if you plan to do any extensive hacking, because your choices are basically either that or run rake install and restart Adium every time you change something.

Start the server with rake mockup and visit http://localhost:4567 in your favorite browser, as long as it's Chrome or Safari.

Building and installing

To build a tarball suitable for passing around to your friends, just run rake package and look in dist/ for the result.

To install the message style automatically, use rake install.

A quick rake -T will show the other available tasks.

Using Embed.ly

Support for Embed.ly is now included in the source, but—in the interest of not spreading around an API key—is disabled by default. To enable it, you will need to get an Embed.ly API key and add it to package.yaml under api-keys. It should look something like this:

api-keys:
  tumblr: yourtumblrkeypleasedontusemineoriwillcomeandfindyou
  embedly: yourembedlykeybecauseimnotsureicandistributemine

You will also need to uncomment the enableEmbedly section in resources/data/preferences.yaml.

Credits & Acknowledgements

Gentle Glow began life as a heavily modified version of Ayumi Yonosa's 1337 message style with support for proportional fonts, but it quickly evolved into a whole different animal. I'd be surprised if any vestige of the original remains, but the inspiration is still there. Thank you, Ayumi! There is nothing left of 1337 in here. So long and thanks for all the blurry edges.

Color hashing uses the Unix ELF hash algorithm, adapted from Ruby 1.8's implementation in rb_str_hash.

JavaScript magic is provided by jQuery, unfortunately.

Since the base I started from was released under a rather permissive license, it would only be right to release a derivative work under similarly liberal terms.

Consider this CC-BY-NC-SA. As with those who came before, I would appreciate acknowledgement if this style is used as a jumping off point for your own project. Don't try to sell it. If you to make derivative works, be liberal in your terms as well.
