-We plan to implement these features eventually, but it is a daunting task.  Not all of our developers care about these features, and because of that don't want to work on them.  The time available to those developers who do want to work on these features is limited, and so any work on these features proceeds slowly.

 In short, we have no idea when this will happen.  It could be tomorrow, or it could be in 2099.  That's really the best answer we can give right now.

 It is not yet possible to make Pidgin translucent in Linux and other platforms that use X11.[[BR]]
 The X.org X11 server provides a COMPOSITE extension that allows applications to have true translucency, but it is X.org-specific and it requires support at the GTK+ level (if it is to be per-widget).  Support for this is apparently scheduled for inclusion GDK 2.12, but we are not currently interested in implementing support for it (note that a plugin could provide this functionality).  Pseudo-translucency offered by other programs (by copying a section of your background image, tinting it, and plastering it onto a window) will never be implemented in Pidgin.[[BR]]
-Note that if you are using a compisiting window manager such as Compiz, you may have global support for modifying the opacity of any window.  For example, in Compiz, the default method to changing the opacity of a window is Alt+Mouse Scroll Wheel.  This method does not require extra support from the applications.
