I am not sure if this is a bug or is by design but to me it seeems like it must be a bug so I am reporting it. The Contact remains floating and visibleeven when the contact is offline, this does nto sem right because just as in ICQ the Contact should only float or be visible when online otherwise the desktop is only going to getting cluttered with all these contacts.

it's designed to be like that

But why would you design it that way? It will just clutter up your desktop. Atleast one should have the option to select if they want to have the contacts displayed when offline.

If the contact is diplayed when they're status changes from offline, then i agree with you, that's a good idea

I'll give this a thought in the next version.

yeah i reckon its a good idea, i've actually stopped using the feature patchou because it does clutter up my desktop when most of them are offline and it lags all my games and stuff !
it would be good it you could also lock them in place and to have them appear only when there online, maybe in a more organised fashion!
default positions for the 1st contact that is set to appear on the desktop, then 2nd etc. then if they go offline then all the other online contacts move down a level so its more organised
Chestah

I too would like to see the contacts only when the user is online...
this makes more sense...

at least have to option to do it, thanks patchou

im more toward wanting this to be an option then just straight changed, i only have one contact that i even want to have on my desktop and seeing im using the blackbox for windows shell i have a nice little place for it to slot into so it fills up room

probably, make it an option with the default that it doesnt show when offline

This option would in deed be nice, I woul like to be able to change it for each contact individualy.

Also the ordering of the contacts idee sounds good to me.
I however have another request conserning these contact on the desktop:
Could they be put into a singe floating window instead of one for each contact? I order them in a row anyway.

Already available!! Use the standard Contact list! It's ordered in a row and you can make it float!

My 2 cents.
