Thanks Cookie for your explanation. Yet, I think it wouldn't be that hard to code, but since I don't know your code, I can't really tell can I...
The way MS! can create the list is easy: just specify the location (specify a corner or specific x/y coordinates), the order (alphabetically is actually the only sensible order; just like how MSN does it) and maybe specify the width and height of a desktop-contact. Voila, a list can be created? Of course this list-creating should not replace the current method (where a user can specify each location manually). It would rather be an extra option.
Although I do agree on the fact that there might be little users who would use this option. Maybe a poll on this might help to get to know the users mindset on this (since there are lots and lots of options that I never use and that I cannot see the use of anyway
?
However, If I change the (e.g.) transparancy of a desktop-contact, and I specify "Set as Default", all other desktop-contacts change immediately (not only on adding a new one).
Changing the width of a contact is not propagated to the other contacts. Not immediately and not when I add them later-on (i.e. remove one desktop-contact, then change the width of another one, then "Set as Default" (from that changed one) and then add the removed desktop-contact again; the width of the newly added desktop-contact is the same as when I removed it, not the new width I just specified)...
Any thoughts are appreciated. Maybe the discussion would be easier through msn? (picturethis73@hotmail.com). But maybe it's just not going to happen and in that case a discussion wouldn't be that useful
Regards!
