# Word of Caution This project is no longer actively maintained. Pull requests are welcome and if anyone would like to take over this project, please email robert@stanfield.it # Ghetto Skype Ghetto Skype is an electron client that uses Web Skype to better integrate with desktop environments found on Linux. Credit to [skype-unofficial-client](https://github.com/haskellcamargo/skype-unofficial-client) for coming up with this idea. His version uses node webkit whereas mine uses Electron. This means you get a few extra goodies like notifications from Electron.  ## Why it's better than Web Skype - Spell Check - Tray Icon shows how many messages are unread (if your desktop environment supports) - Electron will send notifications to libnotify - Use your default image viewer (writes to /tmp) - Start minimized when you start your computer - Run Skype through a proxy - Alternative themes ### Cons - Doesn't support video calls ## Installing You can download the RPM or DEB package on the [releases page](https://github.com/stanfieldr/ghetto-skype/releases) or you can build from source with the instructions below. If you run Arch Linux, you can use the [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ghetto-skype) [nlowe](https://github.com/nlowe) created. Please send any issues with the AUR package to [his repository](https://github.com/nlowe/aur-ghetto-skype/issues). #### Dependencies If building from source: - Node 6.3.1 or higher (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint users need nodejs-legacy package) - Debian based distros need the following packages: `sudo apt-get install build-essential icnsutils graphicsmagick xz-utils libxkbfile-dev libx11-dev libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libpango1.0-dev librsvg2-dev` - If you're creating deb package: `sudo apt-get install fakeroot dpkg` - Fedora users need the following packages: `sudo dnf install gcc{,-c++} libicns-utils GraphicsMagick libX11-devel libxkbfile-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel cairo-devel giflib-devel pango-devel` - If you're creating rpm package: `sudo dnf install rpm-build` #### Try it out Skip packaging and run this: ```bash [u@h ghetto-skype]$ npm install && npm start ``` #### Install from source via package manager We use [electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to package Ghetto Skype. Change the target to the format you prefer. By default, it uses "deb". For a full list of supported formats, refer to the [wiki](https://www.electron.build/configuration/linux) for electron-builder. The target should be set in `ghetto-skype/package.json` ```bash [u@h ghetto-skype]$ npm install [u@h ghetto-skype]$ npm run dist [u@h ghetto-skype]$ cd dist && ls # package placed here ``` ## Tips There's a separate settings window located in the context menu of the tray icon. ## Using a Proxy There currently isn't a way to edit this with the settings window right now. You can open `~/.config/Ghetto\ Skype/settings.json` with your favorite text editor and add your proxy to the ProxyRule setting, save, and restart Ghetto Skype. For a better understanding of the format please refer to Electron's [wiki](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/session.md#instance-methods) (specifically ses.setProxy) Example: ```bash { "StartMinimized": false, "MicrosoftAccount": false, "NativeImageViewer": false, "ProxyRules": "socks5://46.105.6.191:5050" } ``` ## Setting Zoom Level If the font/photos are not big enough for you, you can use the zoom factor in the `~/.config/Ghetto\ Skype/settings.json`. This will be added to the settings screen soon. Example 150%: ```bash { "StartMinimized": false, "MicrosoftAccount": false, "NativeImageViewer": false, "ProxyRules": "socks5://46.105.6.191:5050", "ZoomFactor": 1.5 } ``` ## Disclaimer The Skype name, associated trade marks and logos and the "S" logo are trade marks of Skype or related entities.
