Just want to start this off with how great this software is. I must’'ve tried ten different jabber clients before finding this one. It truly is not just better but blows away all of the other ones I tried. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication in creating this! Here are a few things I think would be good additions to Spark:
-
Auto-Reconnect feature
-
Larger Avatars – Both size on screen and file size, 20KB should not be too big of a file to upload, right now the current largest size is 8KB.
-
Alerts – when people login, or on new messages - like in msn messenger
-
Sounds
-
Smilies selector in the message window
-
Ability to change port number for file transfers
-
Ability to turn off spell check
-
On the Spark login window, I think it would make more sense to have a “Create an Account” button right there. Versus going through Advanced -> Account.
-
I think it would be benneficial to have a Log Out button right above the Exit option when you right click on the Spark icon in the system tray.
On a side note, I read on one of the posts that someone would like the “X” button on the Spark window to actually exit out of the software. I disagree, this should remain just like it is. It is right in line with how other messenger software work, i.e. msn messenger, aim.
