I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice if there was an option to nail your contacts on your desktop. That's a lot easier than always on top, and the normal one isn't great either.. RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Tochjo on 10-12-2004 at 04:42 PM

Nice idea though RE: Feature request for floating contacts by FrozernFire on 10-13-2004 at 04:52 AM and i just noticed something. i like to put contacts on the bottom right hand corner and dock them together. then let's say contact A is right at the bottom and contact B is on top of it(not overlapping i mean docked on top). contact A signs out and the floating window disappears. i move contact B down. when i use the comp again, and both contact A and B are online, B's floating window will overlap A's. i wonder is there a way to prevent this or hope patchou will do something about this RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Pyroteq on 10-13-2004 at 06:28 AM I keep mine in the top left corner i havnt experienced any problems like that but i dont often move them up and down unless i add a new one..i currently have four on my desktop.

For the sounds go the the plus preferences>>Instant messages>>Commands and tags>>And un-check "Allow sound commands" RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Tochjo on 10-13-2004 at 06:26 PM Sorry if I misinterpreted your request, but what exactly do you want? The 'normal' thing seems to do exactly what I think you want it to do. Can you elaborate your request a bit further? RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Twanno on 10-14-2004 at 08:16 PM
Some programmes use nail to desktop, others use pin to desktop.. But what i mean with that is that if you go to your desktop (windows + D), that the floating contacts are just 'nailed' on the desktop, and not that you have to click a programme first, to show them. RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Mushroom_Man on 10-14-2004 at 09:25 PM That's just a problem with windows + D; it does that to everything. RE: Feature request for floating contacts by Bradl3y on 10-14-2004 at 10:25 PM
Windows+D doesnt hide active desktop icons, maybe those can be somehow used? RE: Feature request for floating contacts by brianpeiris on 10-14-2004 at 10:48 PM I suggest you use Windows + M instead. because it works!
