I only skimmed a lot of the mails in this thread because there was just a lot of 'I think it should look like this'. I just wanted to say a couple of quick points about what I read at the start and about spending time on the options. First I want to say that Toms new contactlist is moving along very quickly, in no time I am hoping we will move across to it. I believe that once it is finished it will be much simpler to modify the looks and positioning of different text. Therefore Im not sure that we should spend much time on these options. If you want to do it for the 'fun' and dont mind that it will probably get lost when we move to the new contact list then go ahead. Also if its not going to take that long you can also go ahead (I haven't looked into how hard it will be to create the options). Second, if you do start creating multiline nicks (ie where psm is on second line), please try not to put the bindings on the newline. When you have a binding on a newline, then if you click anywhere from the last char to the far right of the window you get it as if you clicked on the name. To be able to scroll (in windows anyway) you need to have the window (or the contactlist) selected, so I always select the whitespace beside the nick. When we had the psm on the next line, I would often get a chat opening when I didnt want it. (Although note, I prefer it on 1 line anyway, so if those who want multiline dont care then its fine by me....) Finally, I would prefer we have the psm not bold, that would also be following ms m$n. Im not sure what version you checked on Youness, but I have attaced a small chunk of a screenshot from the official m$n client, including a name with a psm. Lio. PS when I was looking at that screenshot I just noticed that the official client didnt have any of the display pictures, so I went back in and they started to come through... maybe they just hadn't dl when I took the image.
