Later, when i was using Windows i has in my Skype Icons like: Games, Radio etc.
Now im using Skype 1.2.0.18 for Linux and i dont have that icons
Why?
There is no this extras in this Skype?

Well for one you're running an older version but I don't believe even the current version has all the emoticons you want. For me emoticons are the least of my concerns we have no video, no SMS , no Skypecasts, no proper call forwarding, etc etc etc.

This is a newest version for my distribution
I have emoticons but i dont have Radio, Skypace, Sms etc

Skype Extras are Skype plugins produced by third parties for Skype for Windows. The possibilities to use Skype API on Linux is in place but there are not many developers and/or companies interested in creating and/or porting their windows plugins to Linux.

It means that there is no radio or skypecast in Skype for Linux?

Instead of starting a new thread, I will post here:


I think Skype Extras page should display which are the supported OS for each extra.

this doesn't mean some opensource developer couldn't use skype api to add extras.
If the new skype goes on like it's doing in these days, it would become a standard in linux desktops.

I for one am glad Skype for Linux doesn't have all those extras. Skype for Windows is becoming far too bloated.
