Buddies window for Messages app

[timothevs]

I use the Messages app on Yosemite (as I have through its various iterations since iChat) to connect to my Google Jabber account for chat.

It seems I am unable to do that in DP4 (not sure if it was working in DP2,3).

I try to add my Google account and I am told that I am already signed in with that account. But the odd thing is that I can't even open my buddies list by pressing + 1. Nothing shows up, no option for Buddies window on the Windows menu option.

Has anyone else been able to log into Jabber with DP4?

Nope, no-one? Also how does one edit their fonts etc in Messages anymore?

Apple removed the font and color changing in Yosemite

I really have to shake my head at this. Some decisions I really find myself questioning. Why take such basic customization out?

I tried to enable Messages from within the System Preferences -> Accuonts -> Google Account. Still a no go.

Messages doesn't show the account nor does it allow me to sign on and access my buddy list. Strange.

We are Apple. You exist to service us. Resistance is futile.

I'm on DP5 and I use my google jabber chat in messages every day, no problems here.

I didn't do anything special to set it up either, just added it through the same method you used.

Ah interesting. I am on Public Beta 4, and am having all these troubles. Even if it is a borked install on my end or DP5 fixed the issues, that it works in the latest version is great to know.
