Hi Kakaroto,
Thanks for your reply. I was previously thinking that the size column was
not there because amsn already has the menu entry to increase or decrease
the text size. Therefore, with this in mind, the person who
implemented the Change Font window purposedly left out the size column
From what I understood from the forum thread, the one requesting the feature
was asking if amsn could have a window with all three options (to change
font name, size and style) similar to the window on
Preference->Appearance->Change Font on the chat window and on
Preference->Personal->Change Fonts buttons. Right now, if user click the
'A' button on chat windows, a new windows showing what was requested appears
and user will be able to change all three parameters from that one window.
"maybe the whole 'text size' menu could be removed and just add a single
menu entry to change the font
of how you see user's text, so they get it all in one window (the same
button is in the prefs window)"
From your quote above, I think the current code i submitted implemented
that. However, you might probably be right if the person who first
implemented this window purposedly left out the size column because of
something. Therefore, I will wait for more information from you :)
Meanwhile, I'll do as you suggested, modifying the menu entry to show font
sizes instead of just +1 +2 ... etc... Thanks...

Hi Sake,
Like vivia said, the best way to send a patch is to save your work, do a
'svn update', then 'svn diff', and send
us the diff result...
Now, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you did... with this fix... it
has nothing to do with what was
asked... Maybe you forgot to send the diff for the chatwindow.tcl file or
something.. or maybe you
misunderstood..
humm.. ok, I just reread the forum thread and you're right, I'm the one
who misunderstood.. I was actually
refering to the line in the post that says :
"The menu view->text size, isn't user friendly"
referring to the menu of the chatwindow, wich is why I told you to look at
the CreateTextSizeMenu in
chatwindow.tcl...
Now I understand your diff a bit better.. but I' masking myself, why the
-nosizes 1 was put there in the first
place ? that's what you should ask yourself.. see who added it and when
and for what reason, maybe the sizes
column caused a bug or something.. I'll try to find that answer for you,
in the meantime, you could try changing
the chat window's menus so it could be more user friendly (now it's +1,
+2, etc.. maybe font sizes would be
better).. maybe the whole 'text size' menu could be removed and just add a
single menu entry to change the font
of how you see user's text, so they get it all in one window (the same
button is in the prefs window)
