You're welcome. :) It's good to know that it's actually useful to anyone. It's motivating, a lot. Btw. Lightbulb 0.2.1 is here! I hope I've managed to fix some of the irritating bugs here. Have fun with testing. :)

Changelog:
- unread-count and unread-mark graphics redesigned
- fixed scaling of app's icon in About page
- remade first run wizard, so this time it's actually useful. It'll be extended in the future, of course.
- fixed crashes in archive view
- inverted theme looks beautiful now, not retarded anymore
- attempt to fix roster enumeration lag bug. I hope it did the job this time.
- fixed avatar caching
- improved both Accounts page and Add/Edit account page, so it's actually more intuitive and less buggy
- replaced Info banners with discreet popups
- improved popup notes
- merged QmlClipboardAdapter with QAvkonHelper
- added Maintenance page - allows you to clean the database, VCard/avatar cache and reset settings to defaults
- fixes, cleanups, usual stuff

Great work mate, installing it now :)

Does It use any SSL, TLS encryption?? If yes, can you please add the encryption option in settings to enable/disable it?? Some of XMPP services does not support it, so you can't connect to them!
And one more thing: Some of services working pretty well, like Gtalk. But when connecting to some others, like xmpp transfer server for VK.com - popular russian social network, the phone runs out of memory. It happens when the app loading contact list!

And pointlessly large contact lists will crash it.

Hmm I dont think so. The contact list at the beggining starts to make the phone a bit overloaded, but then I can smoothly browse them all, and when I start chatting, after I send something and go back, the app  crashes :(. Can you do something to ask for a new version? haha

Because 0.2.x uses SQLite a lot, it's performance really... sucks. Seriously. Even though it's a pretty nice solution for caching the roster, reading and writing to database can cause some serious performance issues. 0.3 tries to mix the old and new ways somehow, even though the roster is not yet being cached, I'm using SQLite only for archiving incoming messages and it does a great job here.

You can try using a pre-release version of 0.3:

Next huge milestone of Lightbulb. To say the least, it's a HUGE step forward. I'm not gonna write a detailed changelog, because - first, I'm sorta lost in the amount of changes introduced, second - I don't wanna get you guys bored with it.

This release breaks compatibility, so make sure to clean your database and settings before proceeding.

Highlights
- serious performance improvement
- multiple account support, allowing you to use both of your Facebook and Hangouts accounts simultaneously :)
- redesigned widget which is now skinnable, customizable and gives you more control of the data you want to see
- completely new, redesigned preferences page and first run wizard, written completely from scratch
- huge improvements in account management, added icons and names for your pleasure (ability to choose your own name for an account as well)
- UI improvements by Motaz, more to come in later releases so keep your eyes peeled!
- bug hunt and polishing, can't even name them all, but most of the quirks were ruled out
- notification icon suport (not available in signed version)
- emoticon support

And much more! Just grab a sis file and I guarantee you'll feel the difference.

I updated the build in Symbian Store as well.
