KMess is designed for users who have a KDE desktop and use Live Messenger only. If you need a client which supports multiple protocols, Kopete and Pidgin are well suited for this job. There is a choice for everyone, you are free to use what you like. We’ve ways felt that those multiple-protocol supporting programs suffer from the “least-common-denominator” problem. If 4 protocols don’t support different fonts and 1 does, then no fonts for any, etc. KMess instead tries to support one at the fullest, optimizing the user interface for one protocol. We provide the “Messenger experience” on Linux, without the annoyances found in the official client. KMess also stays true to KDE standards, look and feel.
