Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: jxm (cactusjomak) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Scrolling users name Initial Comment: Each version of GAIM has you scroll thredw the user names once they ping you. It should wrap them into a new line to fit in the same window. Dead AIM has this feature and would make GAIM better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

Have to say, though, gaim (or GTK) has the worst implementation I've seen of the scroll buttons. One hint to surviving them is to first select the leftmost or rightmost tab (whichever way you wish to scroll) and then click them, saves having to "scroll" your way across all the tabs. But we really, really need a new way to select tabs once the tab bar gets to be too full. There are various ways you could do it - maybe multi-line tabs as jxm suggests. You could also have a "Tab" menu in the conversation window menu bar for selecting the current tab. Another suggestion might be a "..."/"more"/">" button on the end of the tab bar that shows all the tabs or just the ones that are visibly missing. The button would of course light up for new events occurring inside tabs that can't be seen. Btw, does GTK support colour text in menu items, such as to show the status of each person via the colour of their menu item? But that will still be unmanageable if you tried to chat like this, so suggestions would be to drag tabs out of the window to move them to a new window, and thus bring down the count of tabs per window. You can also drag-rearrange the tabs to place those which you are most using into the same part of the tab bar to see them all at once. And don't forget that ctrl-tab activates -- it seems -- the next tab in which an event has occurred. I am still waiting to see a true Once And For All solution to fix the woes of tabs :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2004-09-29 22:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 RFE, not bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1037412&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
