Shoutbox

hmm when i read the Thread name i was a little hesitant on this feature but when i saw the screenshot i know exactly what you mean. However I believe for this to be done, it would be next to near impossible.

The only way around it would be for Patchou to make a second contact window, that would be more similar to a folder type thing. Just minimize or close the main messenger window, and leave this "folder" window open. Clicking on contacts would open their message window, etc. Also the option to change views from large (thumbnails) to list view as well.
