a couple of suggestions for tabbed chats by markee on 06-12-2007 at 01:30 AM

Ok, I know these things aren't that important but I would like Patchou to at least think about these for the next release.

Being able to keep tabs for your chats there even when there is only one chat open. (even if it is a registry setting)
Matching the background colour of the tabs to that of the chat window in 8.5 (I haven't tried 4.23 to check if this has been changed but I'm quite sure Patchou only fixed the stuff with the contest didn't he?)
Having a tooltip when hovering over a tab which shows at least the Nickname of the people in the chat. (I thought this was already there but it didn't show up for me)

Just some easier things to implement that would be really nice, I could ask for some more elaborate features that would be even more useful but the fact is if I ask for the small things I'm more likely to get them :tongue:

Yeah, the background of the tabs is #ffd6b2 and the background of the chat window is #ffe2c9 in your picture. It becomes really noticeable with my colour (0,128,12 in RGB) and with the tabs on the left. Like this:

Oh and my bad about the tooltip thing, it seems as though it is because of enhancer

weird
I am not sure why Enhancer would prevent the specific tooltips from showing ... all other Messenger tooltips work except those on the Plus! tabbed bar...
