Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: gtk-ui Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Erik Pemberton (erikpemberton) Assigned to: Sean Egan (seanegan) Summary: Account/status buttons are huge. Initial Comment: On a 12" laptop, the new integrated buttons for the accounts and away status are HUGE. I would like it if there were multiple sizes or if you could un-dock them from the buddy list. Ideally I'd like to keep the away message management separate as in previous versions of Gaim, and maybe use the account buttons the way that they are integrated into this new version, though I'd prefer them to be the height of the menu items or small buddy icons (about 16x16 or 24x24, something like that). Other than that, the new version is looking sweet. Great work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-09 21:14 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.

The only thing I believe would be missing then is the button currently at the bottom in gaim 2.0beta1, which applies to all screen names currently signed on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: mike (chokuchou) Date: 2005-12-19 14:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1408578 I agree. The new buttons are way too large. Personally, I would like to see a solution that looks like this: http://mike.1b1.nl/gaim-mockup.png I think a three option setting in the Preferences should do the job: "Display Account Buttons in Buddy List: None/Button only/Buttons and Text" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Leo (baumgartleo) Date: 2005-12-18 13:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1407749 I solved this by simply dragging down the middle section of the buddy list, so that this section with the separate account status buttons for each screen name was hidden, and i only saw the one button that affects all screen names. I agree, however, that this function should also be in the menus, not only on this section at the bottom of the buddy list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1384265&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
