 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.

+=== How do I create a chat room? ===
+'''IRC, XMPP/Jabber, ICQ, AIM'''[[BR]]
+Just join a non-existing chat room and it will be created.

+Right-click an MSN buddy on your list and click "Initialize chat".

+
+=== How do I join an existing chat room? ===
+'''Option 1: via invitation'''[[BR]]
+Ask someone who is in the chatroom to invite you. On MSN, this is the only way to join a chat room.
+
+'''Option 2: join yourself'''[[BR]]
+use ''Buddies > Join a chat room'' in the buddy list window
+
+=== Can I still see messages in a chat if I close the window? ===
+Yes.  Pidgin has a persistent chat feature, where you will remain in a chat room even if you close the window.  When you open the window again, all the messages that were sent are still there as if the window had been open the whole time.  
+
+To make a chat persistent, add it to your buddy list, then right click and choose "Persistent" from the context menu.
+
+=== How do I hide all those "User entered the room" and "User left the room" messages? ===
+
+Load the "Join/Part Hiding" plugin from the plugins dialog.  You can then configure it to hide these messages on rooms larger than a specified size, or when the user joining/parting has been idle for longer than a specified period of time.

 Entering character codes works differently in GTK+; press `Ctrl+Shift+u` and then type the Unicode number (in hexadecimal) with Ctrl and Shift held down. GTK+ 2.10.0 and later versions do not require Ctrl and Shift to be held down while typing the number.  For example, `Alt-164` would become `Ctrl+Shift+u`, `f1`.

 === What happened to my timestamps?  Can I change them? ===
 As of 2.0.0, timestamps follow the system locale.  This is a significant difference from previous versions of Pidgin, and though it was requested more than once, we know it will prove to be a controversial decision.  Fortunately for all of you out there, we also provide plugins to change it.
