That's another idea (and then I can hack the skin :D) Disadvantage: skins will have to be redone :( > For the default skin I'd prefer to have the PSM shown below the nick, in > a somewhat smaller font, and in a lighter color (probably the grey of > the CL border would do well). Well, M$N shows it next to the nick, not below it... There tends to be a huge disagreement on this one... but yeah, smaller font, lighter color, and not grey :D (Maybe status color, just a bit grey-ish?) I'd add - not bold either (sorry Youness) :) > Also, the psm should have word-wrap, so you can always read the whole > psm. No, otherwise your CL will become huge. To read it all, look at the tooltip or make your CL larger! I mean, we don't even have word-wrap on nicknames, we truncate them instead... imagine now the default behavior: nicks truncated and PSMs with word-wrap, wouldn't that be kind of ridiculous? Unless we make this a third option for PSMs... :D I am still willing to code this... Or make a PSM-customization plugin? Or better not let plugins mess with the spaghetti-CL-code?
