Today (or yesterday ?), Google released a new version of Google Talk that support avatars and chat themes. No this isn’t a Google-sponsored blog post ;)

Most of you using Kopete to connect on Google Talk noticed that for some time, vCard worked with Google Talk’s server. Why ? Because they use vCard-based avatar for their avatar support. For no problems with Kopete 0.12 to display and export avatars with Google Talk, which is nice :)

Another unexpected thing from Google, their chat themes in offficial client is using the Adium theme, which I wrote support in Kopete 0.12. My collegue Johann make me notice that. But they didn’t mention it anywhere on their website which is a shame. The question of a IM theme standard came to mind. I need to talk with Adium developers about this matter.
