Volume on start is too high  
Written by moose the 10 Oct 09 at 05:10. Global category: Look and Feel. New
If I watch a movie I set the volume very high. Sometimes I forget to set the volume back to a normal value before shutting down. When I start the computer again, the starting sound is much too loud.

Solution #1: Set volume to default value on shutdown
Written by moose the 10 Oct 09 at 05:10.
If the volume would be set to a default value on shutdown, I hadn't this problem. This default value should be editable, of course

Solution #2: Make the starting sound independent of the sound volume

It should be possible to set the volume of the starting sound independently of the normal sound volume. Then, it would not be too loud or low, no matter what you set the volume to the day before. There would of course have to be an option to make it use the normal sound volume, should anyone want that.

Solution #1: Auto-generated solution of idea #16047
Written by moose the 28 Nov 08 at 22:03.
The idea is quite simple: please support the same emoticons in pidgin, kopete and icq.
As emoticons are, in the majority of cases, some combinations of letters, brakets and numbers which wouldn't be written with any other meaning I don't think this would cause any problem.

I suggest the following icons to be supported by both, pidgin and kopete:

How the smilie should look like :: pidgin :: kopete
:[ :: its a bat in kopete but a frown looking smilie in pidgin ... perhaps kopete should change its bat?

smiling :: =-) :: :-)
beer :: *DRINK* :: (B)
kissing :: :- :: (K)
thumbs up :: *THUMBS UP* :: (Y)
happy but confused :: %) :: (no emoticon) -- %-) should be the same
*STOP*
rose :: @->-- :: (W)
Wide eyed :: 8-) :: (H)


Get supported by kopete:
hearing music :: [:-) :: (no emoticon)
laughing :: *JOKINGLY* :: (no emoticon)
tired smilie :: *TIRED* :: (no emoticon)
devil :: ]:-> :: (no emoticon)
in love :: *IN LOVE* :: (no emoticon)
cheering :: *YAHOO* :: (no emoticon)
smilie getting kissed by another smilie :: *KISSED* :: (no emoticon)

Get supported by pidgin (not that important, but it would be nice):
No :: (no emoticon) :: (N)
Telephone :: (no emoticon) :: (T)
coffee :: (no emoticon) :: (C)
clock :: (no emoticon) :: (O)
present :: (no emoticon) :: (G)
note :: (no emoticon) :: (8)

For my girlfriend I'd be happy having these emoticons:
a little heart :: <3
smilie giving a kiss :: :-*

With this idea it wouldn't be that neccessary to implement Idea 8255

Here is a list of emoticons
Here are some other "Emoticon-Users" who could use those:
