Tabbed Chat Window

Killarny · #1 01-07-2005, 01:41 PM

Would it be possible for someone to make a tabbed chat interface? I use three chat windows right now, and it'd be great to have that screen space back by combining them all into one tabbed window.

Even a 'cheater' window that simply toggles one chat window visible while setting the rest to non-visible would work - then I could arrange my windows on top of each other to get the same tabbed effect.

Thanks!

That link doesn't seem to do anything, but if you are referring me to search the forum for similar posts, I did already, but didn't see anything dealing with exactly what I was requesting, the way that I was requesting it..

I did a search for Tabbed Chat..

The third post has the info you're looking for..

Not sure if this is possible or desired, just trying to come up with an alternative that may seem to work.

Should check out my minimize and restore buttons in my UI.. What I do is line up minimized chat windows across the bottom of my screen and restore the chat window I need..

Sorta like tabs..

Talyns, which UI is that? I would love to be able to minimize my combat damage window.
