Free Sametime Wallpaper plug-in
Would you like to add a picture to the background of your Sametime Connect client contact list? Now you can, with our free plug-in for Sametime. Over the coming weeks we'll release more free plug-ins. Most of them are things I find useful or one of the developers had an idea for. Often we'll learn something from developing the plug-ins we can apply to other projects, so whilst they are not full blown applications I would charge for, they can be useful tools and utilities. You can expect in the next few days to see a calculator, Vonage phone dialer and a cool meeting plug-in.
If you want to install the Wallpaper plug-in, it requires Sametime 8.0 and later and you can download it from here http://www.epilio.com/web/wallpaper.htm
Once you've installed the plug-in, choose File, Preferences, Wallpaper and set the image you want to use as your backdrop. Enjoy. Compliments the Epilio developers.

nice plugin, does this also work with the 8.5 notes beta1 client and its internal sametime client?
regards

@2 Great question. I'm not on the Notes 8.5 beta so don't honestly know. If it's backwards compatible should be fine, but this then goes to my last blog item

I must admit I didn't test this build with 8.0 vs 8.0.1
The tile option should be hidden, because it was always needed (I guess not hidden in 8.0). Turns out there wasn't a method to not tile it.
Thanks for letting me know.

checkbox Enable image as buddy-list background (tiled)
Don't want it tiled, but that seems to be the only way it works bummer.
Is there perhaps a size which a graphioc must be to stand alone in the view?
hmmm
My fault, should grab an 801 from a client I did.

Can't wait for the Vonage dialer also. Will I need a particular Vonage service level to use it?

It is a Sametime Update site. So you need to point your Sametime Connect client at it.
1. Choose, Tools, Plug-ins, Install Plug-ins
2. Select "Search for new features to install"
3. Click "Add Remote Location"
4. Type in a descriptive name, example "Epilio Update Site"
5. Enter the URL: { Link }
6. Click Finish
7. Select the feature you wish to install, in this case Wallpaper feature 1.0.0
8. Click Next, and when prompted restart the Sametime Client.

Are you behind a firewall?
Can you open { Link } in a browser?
Are there any other update sites listed?

Installed the plugin under Xp and that is ok. Think the problem is Vista? Anyone else using vista?
