Tab contact names not easily visible by Kev.geno on 09-28-2005 at 02:24 AM

I dont know if it's due to the skin I'm using, but contact names in the tabs are not easily visible. Is this a bug or does this happen only to my Wave skin?

I think that due to the transparency your using, and the colors of the skin, and the text of the tabs, that's why it's not showing really good, try removing the transparency for a try.

Its not the transparency, its the skin I think. Has to be. But the skin is too good I cant ditch it.

I assure you its because of the skin. Patchou should actually correct this asap. Maybe use the Inverse of the colour shown for the text OR allow a reg key to be set to change the colour.

Go here, and download MSG Plus! Tweak. Under the "All users" setting, there is a place where you can change the side bar color. That may help in fixing this problem. You can also use that program to tweak any of the other registry settings for MSG Plus!

RE: Tab contact names not easily visible by Patchou on 09-28-2005 at 04:54 AM

There's currently no setting that allows you to change the colors used in the tabs. I'll make sure to add some in the next version.

And not just Wave11, but also Wave11 Glass.
And probably others too, but no-one's reported it yet.

It's one of those things you think about, but then forget, because it's such a small thing. Don't you agree?

RE: Tab contact names not easily visible by Patchou on 09-30-2005 at 01:26 AM

I don't agree, the setting has already been added to the code and will be available in this weekend's refresh

I think that the colour should be taken from Messenger, that way it will always match the skin

It's got nothing to do with transparency - it's the contrast between foreground and background.

You might want to remove the email address on that pic
Somebody might start spamming

RE: Tab contact names not easily visible by evil_panda on 10-03-2005 at 04:07 PM

I think that haveing the option of changeing the tabs would be a great idea. Next version should have it yeah?

Actually, you can't. You can create 24 bit PNGs, so I've updated it with one of those since it was so very important to you

RE: Tab contact names not easily visible by Kev.geno on 10-04-2005 at 03:16 AM

Its stil not fixed after the new update is it?

RE: Tab contact names not easily visible by Impheatus on 10-04-2005 at 06:02 AM

I don't know if it is fixed or not, but I'm pretty sure you can now change the color of the sidebar using MsgPlus! Tweak.

True: Paint doesn't do transparency.
