Adium defaults

Hey everyone,

Here's an update:


> Default notifications

I've set up a table containing proposed updated notification presets ("Default", "Audio", Visual", https://trac.adium.im/wiki/DefaultsReview2013/DefaultNotifications#ProposedfuturedefaultnotificationsetsJuly7th2013). You will notice the default preset is stripped of all sound notifications. You can find my reasoning in the "Discussion" section (https://trac.adium.im/wiki/DefaultsReview2013/DefaultNotifications#Proposalsforremovaldiscussion).

In an email reply to the email from Rick Fillion forwarded by Peter [1] , Colin pointed out the issue of discoverability when removing all sound notifications from the default set. I think we can solve it by having users select a preset (options: "Default", "Audio", "Visual" plus "Custom" – no notifications, set them up from scratch) in the Setup Wizard. Obviously, there's a always the danger of having too much stuff in a setup wizard but ours currently only has account setup in it so I don't think we have a problem here.


> Toolbar items

I've added a screenshot with a proposed updated default toolbar (https://trac.adium.im/wiki/DefaultsReview2013/DefaultToolbarItems#Proposeddefaulttoolbaritems). Again, you can find explanations in the "Discussion" section (https://trac.adium.im/wiki/DefaultsReview2013/DefaultToolbarItems#Proposalsforremovaldiscussion).


So, everyone interested in this please tell whether you can agree with what is being proposed and if you disagree with something, please say why. :-)


Regards,
Robbie
