How To Go Idle At Your Own Will in Gtalk

Google Talk, as we know has various status options and it allows us to customize them too, however it doesn’t have the idle option. Hence you can only appear as idle on Gtalk when you are actually doing nothing in Gmail or Google Talk.

So what if you want to go idle at your own will in Google Talk ? Well, here comes gAlwaysIdle in the picture. Its a nifty little application which adds two new options to Google Talk, allowing you to change your status to be ‘always idle‘ or ‘never idle’. When your status is set to ‘always idle’, you’ll appear idle to your Google Talk buddies, even if you’re using your computer and working.

Currently it works only on Windows XP/Vista ( should be 32-bit ) . You’d love this app if you primarily use Gtalk as your IM client and sometimes want to go idle at your own will so that you aren’t disturbed by that IM popping up when you are doing something important.
