Remain Always Idle On Google Talk



Google Talk is one of my favorite messenger. While I love to chat most of the times, I want some sort of privacy while developing codes or chatting with girl friend. I can not sign out completely from messengers, i don't want other disturb me, so it better you looks then as you are idle it's a kind of cheating tools. So I was one of the person who delighted when Gmail chat got invisible status. But to my surprise Google Talk is not yet updated. :-(
I personally prefer Google Talk over Gmail Chat so I googled for some solutionsoftware gtalk AlwaysIdle which changes Google Talk context menu shown in screenshot below… and found a free
Google-Talk-Always-Idle-Status
It basically adds a set of status options as you can see in above image!
As highlighted you can choose Always Idle if you are too busy at work. Many users will think that you are not at desk or something similar and thus won’t bother you. ;-)
Also there is an exactly opposite option – Never Idle. In case you want to look always online no matter even if you forget to shut down your PC at night!
Update: Many user have reported that gAlwaysIdle original site is down from long time. You can download gAlwaysIdle from other server till then.
