And You can also dock this IM client on your desktop and auto hide ..To activate this setting which is not active by default you have move to Buddy List tab and their you can change the way in which your buddies appear to you in the client..On the right side you have a option of docking it to your desktop. and auto hiding it and also keep it on top of all windows..And you can also transfer files as usual as in Gtalk..And you will also get the updates as pop ups automatically.You can also change the when the pop ups appear i.e when a user sign in or sign off etc..If you are guy with lot technical stuff you can even choose how much maximum CPU,Bandwidth does digsby  use..If your are not then don’t worry it takes takes care about them by default…And you can change your status from available to busy by just clicking on the green button which is in the side of your status in the client..You can also hide by changing to Invisible ….
