RE: Silently change tabs?
Its perfectly possible and dead easy....

Concept:
If the tabbed chatwindow is minimized (actually 'disabled' in case of tabbed chats, see here), change the caption of the taskbar button from the hidden Plus! window to the caption of the chatwindow which recieved the last message.

Pseudocode:
OnEvent_ChatWindowTextReceived(Text, ChatWnd) {
  if (ChatWnd Is Disabled) {
    setNewCaption(ChatWnd)
  }
}

Yeah I'd like this it'd be a good feature!

Also how about if the chat window isnt in focus - I never minimize, I just bring things in front of each other


It could be quite annoying for most people... Typing messagesinto the wrong window.

I'm gonna give it a quick try
1) Typing in the wrong window will not be possible since the chat window is minimized to begin with.

However it can bring some confusion when you don't pay attention when you (re)open/restore the chatwindow; since another person's chat will have the focus than the one you left.

2) Something like this already exists since a long time, see:
