That occured with Vista and Windows 7, when you activate the tabs you can't get any preview of your chat windows.

Previewing windoes is a basic aero function on both OS. Activating the Tabs is a nice feature of Plus! but it does remove that aero preview one.

This problem is not new but with all latest release of Plus! it has never been solved.

What are the intention of Patchou concerning this ?

Is he planning on fixing it or just let it as it is right now ?

It is a known limitation, and has been discussed a few times.

IIRC it is because Plus! makes the conversation windows invisible.

We just had an internal discussion on this topic again (this time referring to Windows 7 and its superbar), and it seems as if the solution is not that simple because even in 7 the Thumbnail API hasn't changed very much. However we will see; in the end Patchou often comes to a solution for problems despite the fact they may have existed for long.

Before to ever think of doing as they did with ie8 and tabs on windows 7, making the preview to work for atleast the active tabs would be nice. It never work on Vista...
