Todas estas sugerencias se refieren a la ventana principal de configuración de Kopete que reside en Preferencias -> Configurar.... Asegúrate de hacer clic en Aplicar o Aceptar si quieres que se guarden los cambios.

Todos los ajustes que afectan a la configuración de tu cuenta y la configuración de varias cuentas en Kopete (Jabber/XMPP, así como ICQ, MSN y muchos otros protocolos de mensajería) se encuentran en la pestaña Cuentas. Si quieres establecer tu información personal o quieres usar una foto de contacto, haz clic en Modificar identidad... y haz los ajustes. Puedes subir una fotografía haciendo clic en el pequeño icono de la parte inferior izquierda del área de la imagen.


Configurando la identidad


La siguiente pestaña de la lista vertical de la izquierda es Lista de contactos. Estos ajustes se explican por sí mismos en su mayoría y parece útil activar Usar fotografías de contactos cuando estén disponibles. Las otras tres pestañas horizontales (Colores y tipos de letra, Avanzado y Trazado) incluyen opciones especiales que quizás quieras ajustar cuando hayas usado Kopete durante unas semanas.

Las configuraciones de Estado te permiten ajustar tus mensajes de estado predeterminados cuando estás disponible, ausente, invisible, etc

Clicking on Behavior opens a quite detailed set of configuration. The most interesting ones, that can be found in the tab General are Message Handling and Initial Status. The first one decides if incoming messages from your contacts open instantly a new window or if they are queued until you open Kopete yourself. The second one tells Kopete if it shall go online when you start the program. When you set this, you are always available for your contacts once you run Kopete. The tab Events lets you set in what cases Kopete notifies you via your computer's notification system (in most cases KNotify). When you want Kopete to set your status automatically to "Away", open the tab Away Settings and enable the first checkbox. You can set the time that has to pass after your last action (keyboard input or mouse movement) that Kopete will set you as "away". The default value is 10 minutes. Options located in Chat are again self-explanatory and already set to useful values.

The next item in the vertical row on the left is Chat Window. The first tab in there, Style, can be used to set another appearance than the default one. You can also install your own styles or download new ones from the Internet by clicking on Get New.... When you type in an Emoticon during a conversation, Kopete will convert it into a graphical emoticon by default. To disable this feature or to use another set of emoticons go to Emoticons. The last tab, Colors & Fonts is again self-explanatory and configures these preferences of your chat window.

Las Webcams son compatibles con Kopete, pero en este momento (Noviembre de 2010) todavía hay algunas dificultades relacionadas con las videoconferencias, por lo que los cambios en las opciones de Vídeo se deben hacer bajo tu propia responsabilidad, ya que es bastante posible que no funcionen de la forma adecuada. Los foros de KDE pueden ser de ayuda al tratar con temas de cámaras web.

Complementos

A very powerful feature of Kopete is the capability of using plugins. There is a set of plugins pre-installed (new ones can be installed for example with your Linux distro's package manager) and they can be enabled and configured under Plugins. You can enable them by setting the tick into the respective checkbox. Most of them are again self-explanatory, but the most useful ones will be explained here anyway. A very helpful plugin is the History. With this option enabled, Kopete will log all your chats and write it onto your hard disk. You can read it in your chat window, when you select the View History icon or you open it with Tools -> View History.

OTR

One of the most important plugins considering privacy issues is OTR. This piece of software encrypts your entire conversation from one end to the other and makes it impossible for third persons to read your conversation. After you enabled the plugin, you have to open its settings (click on the wrench icon) and Generate a key.


Generate an OTR key


This may take a while and you have to wait until Kopete finished. After that close the OTR window with OK and Apply the changes. You eventually will have to restart Kopete after this. Then open a chat window of the contact you want to safely communicate with. Go to Tools -> OTR Settings -> Start OTR Session or use the icon OTR Encryption -> Start OTR Session. Kopete will start the session if your contact is capable of OTR, otherwise you'll recieve an error message.


First use of OTR


To ensure your added contact is really the one he or she is pretending, it's necessary to authenticate him or her one time. You can do this by calling Tools -> OTR Settings -> Authenticate Contact. You may choose between three options:

  • The first one is to ask your chat partner a question whose answer can only be known by him or her and you.
  • The next possibility is a secret passphrase your partner has to know (you may consider giving the secret to him or her via another secure communication channel, e.g. telephone).
  • Thirdly, there's the option of manually checking the OTR fingerprint. This is the most secure option, but it's not very handy and if you can choose one of the others it may be more comfortable and faster. When checking the fingerprint, you have to ask your partner for his or her OTR fingerprint over a secure connection (e.g. telephone or encrypted E-Mail) so that the fingerprint can be checked.

Let's assume we choose option one and ask our partner a question. Type it into the field and define the expected answer your partner has to give, so that he or she can be authenticated.


Asking a secret question


When we continue, your partner will see the question and if the answer is correct, OTR is set up ready now.


Finished OTR setup


Your partner may do the same thing in return, so when you see a window asking you for authentification just answer the question and you are an authentificated user in your friend's contact list, too.


OTR authentification


Every time you communicate safely, you'll see the green armored keylock icon at the top of your chat window. To finish the secure connection, you can either close your chat window or click on OTR Encryption -> End OTR Session .
