gAlwaysIdle: Set Google Talk Status To Idle

Everyone likes Google Talk due to its simplicity but it is true that Google Talk miss many essential features. Some of them are:

• Chat Rooms
• Conference Call
• Contacts Grouping
• Emoticons and Audibles
• Instant Alerts during chat i.e. buzz!
• Privacy Options e.g. stealth setting
• Text Formatting
• Video Chat

Google has resolved the issues of video chat, emoticons and stealth setting through the Gmail but Google Talk is still missing these features. Google Talk users mostly let it open in system tray and sometimes want to change their status message as idle to avoid the unwanted friends but due to the absence of stealth settings they couldn't do anything. The condition turns up more critical when we don't want to chat at the time but at the other hand we have to maintain the relationships.

To abstain from these circumstances you should be either invisible or idle. Idle status has advantage over the invisible status because one can excuse others because of his/her absence. Idle status indicates that the user is away from Google Talk from at least previous 15 minutes.

But now you just require to install a freeware named gAlwasysIdle. This tiny application is free of adware, spyware and virus; will allow you to set your online status as permanently "Normal Idle", "Always Idle" and "Never idle".

gAlwaysIdle have compatibility issue with Windows Vista but all you need is to install it with the administrative rights otherwise there might be fatal errors. It was expected that this bug will be fixed in the new version but unfortunately technical support is no longer available and now the publisher's website doesn't exist. Therefore, I have uploaded it for the ease of IT Bulge! readers.
