O.P. Custom Names Suggestion for 3.4 - Patchou plz read
Hi,
I saw the imporvements in custom names at mess.be and I must say that I love 'em especially the thing that you can now have both custom names and nicknames at the same time. But there is something that I think can still be done to make them look this feature a lot better. I just attached a picture of the concept. Please consider this Patchou
Thanks

RE: Custom Names Suggestion for 3.4 - Patchou plz read
I'm not sure if that kind of display will work on the client itself, and if it does there'll be many bugs. What would be possible (and less chance of bugs) would be the custom name and then the real name with a dash after it, and obviously an option to do this.

That was already possible since a very long time. Use the (!N) tag (or (!M) tag for that matter) in your custom name.

See my comment to tugrussel; Use the (!N) and (!M) tag to make the custom name the way you want it.

that gave me an idea. how about adding a (!LINEBREAK) tag, so that you can add a line break and extra formatting to gain this effect ![:D](images/smilies/msn_grin.gif) ?

RE: Custom Names Suggestion for 3.4 - Patchou plz read
Anyways, if this feature was to be made than this would make custom names even cooler. It would go nicely with the already annouced coloured custom names feature. ![:D](images/smilies/msn_grin.gif)

RE: Custom Names Suggestion for 3.4 - Patchou plz read
Im pretty sure each item in a list box (in this case the contact list) has a set height, so unless Patchou can change this to make each item double its height I doubt it'll be possible to have 2 lines for each contact.
