Configuring Choqok
Creating an Account
Choqok supports connecting to Twitter and all sites that are based on status.net. This includes the flagship, Identi.ca, service.
Each account, in addition to login credentials, includes an alias. The alias defines the resulting tabs in the main window.
Note: At the time of this writing, status.net is defined by it's previous name Laconi.ca.
General Settings
The general settings provides access to common settings. Key settings include the update interval, default 10 minutes, and the number of new messages retrieved per account, default 20.
Notifications
Choqok integrates well with desktops supporting both knotify (KDE) and libnotify (Gnome, XFCE). You can also group new notifications. Please note that when starting Choqok, you may receive more than 20 notifications if you have more than 1 account or your configuration allows for more messages. This may fill your screen depending on your resolution.
The Main Screen
The main screen of Choqok provides easy access to your accounts and messages. Each account, denoted by its alias, has a tab. When new messages are received, the unread count appears in the account tab.
Each account contains the following tabs: home; reply; inbox; and outbox.
Home
The home tab contains all of the messages to which you are subscribed. Each message in the timeline includes the message, avatar, time sent (relative to now), and information on the micro-blogging client used.
