Download gAlwaysIdle to make your GTalk Status Always Idle

with 59 comments

ADVERTISEMENTS



Back when Gmail Chat hadn’t introduced the Invisible mode, there was no way you could remain invisible from your Gtalk friends when logged in. I was using a program called gAlwaysIdle then, and when I’m just busy I just use it to change my status to ‘Idle’ on Google Talk.

The Invisible mode doesn’t work when you’re using both Google Talk and Gmail chat simultaneously. That’s when gAlwaysIdle could home handy.


Update: The gAlwaysIdle Website is up. You can go to that site to download gAlwaysIdle

I uninstalled gAlwaysIdle for some reason and now when I needed it back, I typed in their website address only to find that the gAlwaysIdle website is down. I think the creator has abandoned the project (although I’m not too sure).I found a lot of people voicing their disappointment over the fact that they can no longer download and use that program to keep their GTalk status idle.

Download gAlwaysIdleThankfully, I looked around in my hard disk and had a copy of the gAlwaysIdle program! I’m just putting it up online over here so that anyone who needs it can download it. I’ll take it down if the creator doesn’t want me to host it.

You can use this link to download a .ZIP file that contains two files: gidle.dll and gidle.exe. To make your GTalk status idle, just launch the gidle.exe program and right click on the Google Talk icon in your system tray and choose the Always Idle option.

    pls help! i can’t download gidle,someone help!

  • Name

    gAlwaysIdle is a piece of crap!!! It has never worked and the moron that created it doesn’t update it or maintain it’s web site. Save yourself hours of frustration and possibly embarrassment and don’t download this shitty software. Better yet, get rid of gTalk, maybe big brother Google will get the message if enough people leave.

  • snakeguy

    thanks a million DnamZ
