Category: gtk-ui Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jeff Fortin (kiddokiddo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Resizing the buddy list automatically Initial Comment: Hi, I believe it would be very interesting to have an option to resize the buddy list automatically. It should not be allowed to exceed the workspace height however. So when, for example, one of my buddies sign off, the window shrinks, and no desktop space is spilled. It would be pretty cool! I think this is not really complicated to implement, but I may be totally wrong since I don't really know about gtk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

It'd be great to have it on Gaim. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Megan Schneider (ciran) Date: 2006-08-11 08:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=801517 Adding comments from duplicate #1386098 (Daniel Beardsmore - uilleann): Can the buddy list window height be permitted to be adjusted automatically to fit the height of its contents, as people sign in and out? (optional feature of course) I know this was rejected in 2002 but I cannot see a good reason for this besides GTK+ not providing gaim with the height of the screen (or the height of the available space, e.g. screen height minus taskbar and other adornments). I imagine the GTK+ API has advanced significantly since 2002 so this feature may now be able to be implemented. At least under *NIX -- under Windows I imagine GTK+ might not be able to understand the taskbar height. It certainly has no idea about a taskbar at the top of the screen. One workaround for all such issues could be "reserve x px at screen edge {top|bottom|left|right}". My taskbar for example is two rows, so that's 16 px times two (32) plus 15 spacing, so I'd reserve ~50 px at the bottom. For my home with the taskbar at the top, no need to reserve anything as gaim would max the window height (if I had that many people online!) at (screen_height - blist_top_Y). For what it's worth, Miranda IM already has this feature, and it's nice, as I like a small, compact window but sometimes I find that it ends up too small. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1236499&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
