Online status

With CenterIM you can be either on or off the ICQ network. The status can be changed with the "Status" menu invoked either with F3 or "S" key or from the global menu. It provides you with a choice to switch between online statuses along with an ability to go offline. If one of online statuses if selected when you're offline, CenterIM will connect and switch the status to what was chosen.

With an online status you can indicate to those who are in touch with you your being away, occupied, free for chat, not available, etc.


"Auto Away" and "Auto N/A"

Also there is a way to switch status to Away and N/A (not available) after a certain period of inactivity, to show your friends or colleagues you're somewhere away from computer.

The very useful thing about is that CenterIM detects inactivity for all the consoles if you use it locally. So it won't change your status if you're just working in another console and only don't tweak it.

The auto periods can be changed with the "Configuration" dialog. Zero value means the feature is off.
