somehting like this would be cool RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by Matti on 08-14-2005 at 11:56 AM
It's a good idea, it looks a bit like Windows XP's grouped programs or whatever it's named.* RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by tristanj on 08-14-2005 at 12:52 PM
nah i have windows vista beta 1 to only i can't play games on it so i use xp. RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by mwe99 on 08-14-2005 at 01:44 PM I think the idea would were well with the tabbed conversation feature Patchou i THINK is working on I'm not a MsgPlus! BETA tester so i cant really say much due to the fact i dont even know lol RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by tristanj on 08-14-2005 at 02:07 PM yes i know and i saw screens of it but if he put's tabs in the startbalk cause i saw in the screens that wasn't possible only in the chat windows RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by CookieRevised on 08-15-2005 at 12:09 AM
tristanj, just enable Windows XP's grouped taskbar buttons. This is exactly what they do... RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by ShawnZ on 08-15-2005 at 12:29 AM
quote:I think he meant with the beta's tabbed conversations. As far as i know since it is all in one window this isnt possible, but it could be done easily. Patchou, this could be possible if you hid the group conversation from the taskbar, then created dummy windows that created buttons on the taskbar but were hidden. If you did it this way you could simply check when one of these dummy windows came into focus, and when so, activated the 'tab window' to the spesific tab. This could be buggy, but im sure it would work.. RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by Concord Dawn on 08-15-2005 at 12:32 AM
quote: I think that it would be a good idea to have that on the tabbed conversation window, that way you could check who's talking to you and open the window immediately to their conversation. RE: RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by CookieRevised on 08-15-2005 at 12:46 AM
quote:his screenshot clearly shows what he means... quote:Only when you enable tabbed conversations in Plus! it will be in 1 window, otherwise it will be as it always was: multiple windows. And yes it could be done easly like I said: enabled "group similar windows" in the taskbar of Windows. It's that or enabling grouped conversations in (the new to come) Messenger Plus!. quote:Totally useless tbh. If you do it in this way (btw, hidden windows don't have taskbar buttons), then what is the use of grouping convo's together??? It doesn't make sense as the purpose of grouping the convo's together is to get rid of all the taskbar buttons in the first place. So creating again other (dummy) buttons is totally pointless... quote:The feature already works like this... just wait until the official release of Plus! to see it for yourself.

quote: Well first, you could hide these dummy windows by making them 1x1 and position them at 2x the resolution of the monitor if no other way was possible. and second, it could be possible to use the windows api or hook explorer or something to force the buttons to group, is it not? RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by CookieRevised on 08-15-2005 at 01:00 AM
quote:That's not hiding a window, that's moving it to an inaccessable position (with all the drawbacks it has). And that method is a very louzy way of doing it and I'm sure Patchou would never do something half-arsed like that (sorry for the word choice ). Besides, like I said, it is totally pointless to do so in the first place. quote:nope, not for individual programs AFAIK... RE: [feuture request] tabs in startbalk by ShawnZ on 08-15-2005 at 01:10 AM
