The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-06-2004 at 03:33 PM

I believe an option should be added to add it into the bar with the emoticon and font selection in it.

I recently installed buddyplay and would frankly rather see the little format bar there :)

If the option could be added in the preferences that would be dandy ;-)

If you have no idea of what i'm talking about please see below

That's a good suggestion actually, and Patchou has already done something similar with the little logo...


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by Smethead on 09-07-2004 at 07:42 PM

Patchou already said he won't do it, cuz of people using the handwriting plugin or other languages wont see it.

use ' ( ' to display the emoticons panel. It couldn't be easier :)
i don't like the idea of mixing emoticons with formatting.

and about the font: it's can't be changed with plus, so there isn't such option.
RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-07-2004 at 08:55 PM

no choli the font and emoticon selection are already in messenger by default. I'm talking about the 'ctrl+R' format bar where you can select your font to be in Bold, Italics, Underlined or slashed

*EDIT*

Why can't patchou do this? I've just realised that when the chat window is resized 'too-small' the plus logo disappears so why can't the same be added to the format bar, plus if its only an option that is off by default what harm can it cause?


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by Choli on 09-07-2004 at 09:58 PM

Sorry, I understood that you wanted the emoticons and a font selector to appear in the Ctrl + R panel. I get you now. It's a good suggestion (Y)


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-07-2004 at 10:12 PM

but yes i'd use it alot more if it were like this rather than ctrl+r

Yeah I agree that would be useful  but not really something a necessary as the options are already within click reach

RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by Patchou on 09-08-2004 at 05:14 AM

I can't do it for many reasons and one in particular: if the formatting options were so much visible, people would use it without knowing that it'sa Plus! feature and their contacts who don't have Plus! would be bothered by it. The format bar is accessible with Ctrl+R very easily (you can always use Ctr+B ... for direct input of the codes) and can be accessed from the Plus! icon menu... that way, it's clear that it's a Plus!feature :)


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-08-2004 at 03:27 PM

HA!

not a brilliant excuse but i understand, why would non plus contacts be annoyed? do they see the symbols?

RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-08-2004 at 07:06 PM

hehe i feel a vote coming on

:D


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by .Roy on 09-08-2004 at 07:11 PM

LoL Hmm a Vote.. I would but i dont understand what u are requesting..


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by ayjay on 09-08-2004 at 07:17 PM

When you press Ctrl+R in a conversation window a format bar comes up. He wants that to be permanently integrated in the bar where emoticons etc are. P.S. I think it's a great idea.


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by .Roy on 09-08-2004 at 07:19 PM

hmm why not just edit the Emoticon one on the toolbar so it will also include msg plus emoticons and stuff...


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-08-2004 at 07:26 PM

becasue i think thats illegal editing the actual messenger stuff.

Plus we are only talking about the ctrl + R bar

RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by Vantage on 09-08-2004 at 08:07 PM

fukafly what the hell is wrong with you,? A Vote?! Patchou already disagreed to do it! Do you get what "no" is? You can't vote in or out in what patchou wants/doesn't want to put in his program. It was a smart suggestion, but i didn't like the fact of "I fell a vote coming" because he already disagreed, you can't force him to do it.


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-08-2004 at 08:13 PM

only very simple stuff for the moment, i'm raising enough money to take a course on C++, VB, C#, Macromedia Passport (all the macromedia products) and web design with PHP and other scripts

and thats alot of money, plus i have a lot of personal issues/problems at the moment in my life ontop of that i have my current education to worry about and the lack of money and no job.

So no not really but i don't care!


* If you want to know what I'm feeling, think along the lines of constant visions of your mother dying over and over again (yes my mum is dead) and also being ditched by your girlfriend for no real reason, your father not being home and not being told why (yes my dad has gone missing and i can't get hold of him by his mobile) and all the other stuff......I think i need specialist help.


I'm sorry guys my lifes just not being brilliant at the moment

Oh yes.
On a side note, I use aMSN for testing plugins, as I can see the codes in that.
RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-09-2004 at 03:18 PM

ok could this be controlled with a plugin?


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by RaceProUK on 09-09-2004 at 09:45 PM

Plus supresses the codes itself, even if they're not recognised I think. So, to have a plugin supress the codes is kinda pointless... unless you mean a Messenger add-on, which in that case why not just use Plus?


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-10-2004 at 03:39 PM

i mean a plugin to put the format bar into the other bar

i like the idea and think it would be good if it could be done (Y)

Side note: plus only uses (and suppresses) the codes it recongnice.
RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by riahc4 on 09-14-2004 at 12:11 AM

Fukafly: Patchou has said N O NO

dont keep on trying. If you REALLY want it in MSN Messenger than go ahead make your money get the programming courses and write your own add-on to messenger. Seriously dont keep trying. If you absolutly must then try posting it in the plugin section altho i DOUBT a plugin can be made for this to happen. Its not gonna happen unless something drastic happens.


RE: The format bar (ctrl+R) by aNILEator on 09-14-2004 at 03:07 PM

......It was a suggestion, some people find it popular others not.

The suggestion was turned down same as many other suggestions, I accept that

why post this?
