Sleek Text (thx to our own cj for discovering this with me earier today)

Some quick and Easy was to make your text more vibrant! To test " Strong & Bold " - place * (asterisks) around text desired to be bold.

Example: *Im Bold* Im NotTo make you text Slanted and Thin place _ around text desired to be italic.Example: _Im italic_ Im notChange the text size in the chat window

Thanks to Nathan Lanier: While your mouse is over the chat field hold down Ctrl and use the scroll button on your mouse. The text will get bigger and smaller.

Interestng! GT seems to be using modifiers from Textism Check it out.Techniques are still being discovered.



Parameters:

/nomutex - Allows mutiple Sessions
/forcestart
/autostart - Start at Windows Startup
/register
/checkupdate - Check for newer versions
/nogaiaauth
/plaintextauth
/factoryreset - Sets all your settings back to default
/gaiaserver

/mailto
/create_sesion
/S upgrade

!You Decide if these 2 work or not for GT:

/prefetch=1 - Allegedly Loads GT Faster
/superprefetch - Allegedly Loads GT Much Faster
Prefetch MythTo use application parameters create a shortcup to the application, then open up the shortcuts properties and edit the “Target” field to look like“C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex Quotes Included!

^ This will allow mutilpe instances of the application simultaneously.
Save Shortcut and your done. Multiple params can be used as well example: …\googletalk.exe” /nomutex /checkupdate

Button Codes:

These are the codes in googletalk.exe that edit what the buttons do when pressed.

To edit this you need: ResHacker, ResEdit, or eXeScope
In this example we will use ResHacker

I have gone through 40000 - 40100

40001 - Sign In Dlg

40002 - Sign Out
40003 - Settings/General
40004 - Minimize
40011 - Add Friend
40020 - Help (http://www.google.com/support/talk)
40023 - About
40026 - Brings Cursor and Focus to Search Box
40027 - Exit
40028 - Add Friend

40065 - Connection Monitor
40080 - Disable all Notifications
40087 - Check for Updates Now
40088 - Inbox
40089 - Check Mail Now
65535 - Tray Menu


I added three buttons to my tray menu. A Settings button, a force logout button, and a force login btn.

1. Open googletalk.exe in ResHacker
2. Go to Menu -> 110 -> Click on 1033

- 1033 will open up as a text.
3. To add these buttons find the lines:

MENUITEM “Sign Out”, 40002, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED<br />
MENUITEM “”, 0, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED<br />
MENUITEM “About…”, 40023, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
And Replace with:


MENUITEM “Sign Out”, 40002, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED</p>
<p> MENUITEM “Force Sign In”, 40001, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED<br />
MENUITEM “Force Sign Out”, 40002, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED<br />
MENUITEM “”, 0, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED<br />
MENUITEM “Settings”, 40003, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED<br />
MENUITEM “About…”, 40023, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
4. Click Compile Script

5. Make Sure! that no instances of googletalk.exe are running
6. Click File -> Save
7. Your Done! Now Open up Google Talk and look at your changes.



Registry Settings:

Here you will edit Google Talk’s registry settings to your liking.

1. Goto Start -> Run or Windows Logo + R (on Keyboard)
2. Enter “regedit” and press run

3. A windows will appear with your regstry.
4. Goto Edit -> Find or Ctrl + F
5. Find “Google Talk”
- The first result should be: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk
6. Before editing any keys right click the Google Talk folder in the treeview and select export. type a filename and save it in a memorable place! This is for Backup Purposes

7. Always stay on by Pt®
[Download: .Reg , .Zip] pre-built reg file or make your own:

- Open notepad and add the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk\Options]
\"show_pin\"=dword:00000001- Save it as showpin.reg
- Now double-click the reg file and install it.

To Remove the show_pin reg key follow step 1 to 5, then open the options folder, right click the show_pin registry entry, and click delete. and
To reset all your registry preferences use the /factoryreset parameter(see above Parameters section for how to use params) by memodude

8. Now if you know what your doing you can also edit some other keys/options to your liking. If you make a mistake and need to start over double click you backup export that you made earlier and install.

Tunes 2 Friends

Find out how to broadcast music to your friends!(Tweak from: http://www.twittv.com/googletalk.html)

Note: this will change depending on user Sound hardware and software. It might not work for everyone.
As for me this does not work cause I have a bad/cheap sound card.

1. Unplug any and all mics.
2. Open up your Volume Control in your tray or from: Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Device Volume GroupBox -> Advanced

3. Open Volume Control’s Properties: Options -> Properties
4. From there select the Recording button and check the
“wave out mix” or “stereo mix” or whatever you have besides microphone. Select ok and now you have the Recording Control.
5. Check “Select” on the wave out mix or stereo mix options then open up gt and make a call to a friend to test whether it works. If sucessful your friend should hear whatever music you are playing through your computer.

You may have to play around with it for you to get it to work on your computer. This just lists the basics to get it to work.

6. Like I said earlier it will not work for everyone.
