Version 1.1.0 brings much-needed stability and customization

New features:

* The update brings some customization options. You can now change your user name and profile picture. Well… thats it. But least you wont have to use your phone to change your picture anymore.

* Another much-needed feature that this update brings is bookmark. When you open a chatroom, it will automatically bring you to last viewed message. So you will no longer have to scroll up to find where you left off.

Still not fixed:

- After leaving the app open for awhile (or after several minutes of inactivity), the app gets disconnected. Your friends new messages wont appear on the chatrooms, and your messages wont get posted either. This is the biggest annoyance with the KakaoTalk Mac app since I have to quit and reopen the app every time it gets disconnected. While the app is noticeably more stable with this update, there still is room for improments.

Feature wish list:

+ Ability to add background picture.
+ Downloading new emoticons
+ Search function (specific words and date/time)
+ Adding new polls and schedules.
+ Ability to search and add new friends.
Positives:

+ Notification works well. It shows the entire message, friends display name and the time when message was received. Overall, this is an excellent integration considering how buggy this app can get.
+ All the previous conversations appear in the chatrooms.
+ Doesnt use too much CPU or RAM
+ Can adjust opacity of chatroom windows. This is a very handy feature if you need the chatroom windows to float over other applications (for example, chatting with your friends while working on a document)
+ Can keep chatroom windows on top.
+ Can open multiple chatroom windows! This is definitely the biggest convenience feature that Mac app version of KakaoTalk offers
+ Sending files: As far as I can tell, uploading various files (mp3, midi, videos, PDF, word document, etc) works flawlessly. File size limit is 100mb (a 4-minute 480p video). However, some of my friends noted that they couldnt open the files I uploaded (especially video and music files). Maybe those files are not supported on their phones.
+ PopClip works within chatroom windows. This means tweeting, sharing on Facebook, looking up words, adding new schedule to calendar, emailing, searching on Wikipedia/YouTube/imdb/Google Map/, etc. is just a click away.
+ The luxury of talking to my KakaoTalk friends on my Mac. Cannot put a price on this. This alone grants this app 5 stars!
