Hi! ^Can one set the ICQ status text and icon via a bmx app? Couldn't find informations on that topic on the net. But it should be possible I guess... Grisu

Via the ICQ app? (what's the ICQ website say about an API ?) There are many 3rd-party libraries (like libpidgin) which can be used for IM'ing. Skype (for example) certainly has an API to which you can interact (through BlitzMax) with.

Seriously? I love skype.. use it all the time but I don't like the interface.

Seriously? Yep, but I've just never got around to trying it out. (you know how it is!)

I'd like to send a text / song title from PRP to the ICQ status window and change the icon used inside icq to the "radio guy" (on the screenshot). Couldn't find an uptodate icq api yet. Their website only says something about Xtras. http://dev.aol.com/sdk/icq

Seems they don't use the term API these days anymore: http://dev.aol.com/icq_docs/ICQ_Open_Xtraz_Reference_Guide.pdf
