You're going to put the new contact list in officially? Sounds scary :P As I
recall, it was quite slow if you had lots of contacts. You would be better
off waiting for Tkhtml to be ready. About BLT and all that crap, forget it.
Sorry if I sound abrupt, but after looking at stuff, tkhtml seems the best
way forward - people can easily write themes for amsn if we use it because
HTML & CSS are easy. It is also VERY fast. And yes, the author of Tkhtml
knows what he needs to do about nodes and modifying them, there is a whole
requirements document listing everything that needs doing and whats been
done. It's all very organised (I guess because he's being funded by a
company). some links for tkhtml that might be useful to show you how far its
got:
http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/requirements.html
http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/cvstrac/timeline
I know it sounds shit, but it's really a good idea to WAIT FOR TKHTML - when
it has all the features we need (mainly the node thing, with a few other
small things), it will be awesome to use. We can even give it scripting
capabilities because we are WRITING in a scripting language - TCL!! So we
can control the html like you can with javascript - IE add FADING EFFECTS,
animations like SLIDING BOXES (eg to hide/show display pic), and most
importantly for the basic layout of the chatwindow/contactlist, control how
elements are resized better than CSS can (CSS can only define width/height
of things by EITHER percentage or pixel/em/inches whatever (ie absolute
measurements), not both - so to you cant say to the html okay the message
box in the chatwindow needs to take up all the horizontal space EXCEPT 100
pixels on the right hand side which must be left for the display
pictures.... BUT we CAN using TCL - we would modify the width attribute of
the message box element every time the window is resized so that it's 100
pixels less wide than the window!)
Okay, thats all for now ;)
Sorry for a rambling email, not as rambling as youness's though!!
Cheers,
Tom
PS Sorry I've done nothing recently, I'm struggling with studies here at
Uni!

Everyone started like that.. When I started, I knew NOTHING about tcl/tk..
all I did was copy/pasting/hacking old code,
until I learnt it. Vivia also entered the team knowing nothing and it was
funny how she would freak out thinking it's
impossible to do with her knowledge then she comes back at me all happy
"hey, it was easy, I DID IT" lol
I think everyone else started knowing nothing about tcl/tk. The only
exception is Jonne who did the games plugin
before he joined, but he knew nothing about tcl/tk when he started coding
the games plugin.
