What do you mean with "the convo keeps focusing itself" ?
Oh, and I fixed the position bug.
The position wasn't being saved when the switch label was being clicked.
Thanks for noticing
This will be fixed in the next version

I can do something about this, but focus will still have to be stealed for less than a second.
The idea would be to check which window has the focus before displaying the scroller window, and when the scroller window is displayed, the focus would be given back to that window...

I can do this

You need to download the .plsc file from here. Run the file and accept the security waringing and then you have succesfully installed the script .

like when the scroller pops up, it makes the convo pop up too. kinda defeats the purpose.

I can do this
edit:

code:

---

function focusIt(which)
{
Interop.Call('User32','OpenIcon', which);
Interop.Call('User32','BringWindowToTop', which);
Interop.Call('User32','SetForegroundWindow', which);
Interop.Call('User32','ShowWindow', which, 1);
Interop.Call('User32','SwitchToThisWindow', which, "FALSE");
}

var topHandle = Interop.Call('User32','GetForegroundWindow');

//here is where you do your thing and pop up the message scroller

focusIt(topHandle);

---

Would be cool if it had a quick reply button which would allow you to send a reply without even having to focus onto the conversation window.

One thing I found quite annoying was when I had multiple chats and a message was sent from another contact and I was still typing a message it would change the window focus to the scroller. This is really bad when you have 3+ windows open.

Is there a way for it to focus on the right convo tab?

Nice idea and great work

see my above code.

I really do love this script, I think what would make it more interesting is the timer thingy that linx05 suggested. Hi all...

Fantastic script, a good update would be for it to display more than 1 recieved message, maybe 5?

I like this script!

How can I change the text size in the script window, and how can I change the "-switch-" word?

Thanks!
