agree (agree). yes pixmaped. yes exist in skin. > Now, about keeping the old behavior - I guess we should, right?... > However, this can't be reproduced with just the show/hide buttons... and > we need a right-click menu or something? > yes, added as an option. what do you mean "this can't be reproduced with just the show/hide buttons" ? you mean, to be able to switch back and forth between the old and new behavior ? If that's what you mean,then don't worry, at first, I was about to completely drop the old behavior, but then I decided not to disappoint anyone (all the yelling will come back to haunt me anyways) so I put it as an advanced option. You'll find it as the last option in the 'appearance' section of the advanced prefs. If you meant something else, then tell me. about right click menu, I think it should stay simple, no 'show/hide' or 'old behavior' options there! all there is now is : 1 - the lower frame : Change DP 2 - the top frame : change DP size of user KKRT > On Sat, 19 May 2007, Youness Alaoui wrote: > > > Hi Karel, > > thanks for the mail. > > Actually, you're talking about the 'plugin' and as it *dhould* be core > > functionality.. that's exactly what I'm > > trying to acheive.
