Please watch the animation and tell your thoughts.
Would be cool if Patchou picks up that idea, nothing too hard to program.

Thanks for watching. :P

(btw, the animation starts with "What about auto-hiding desktop contacts...", start watching from that point to avoid confusion)

Woah... you REALLY put the effort into that. :|

Patchou should implement it just for that. :P

I take it when you say auto hide you mean it becomes more transparent?

That *might* actually be possible with a script... but it'd be hard, you'd need to locate the desktop contacts positions, watch for mouse over of them and then change the transparency.  Far easier if it was build into plus me thinks.

I'm impressed, and yes, it's a very good idea.

Ok then, you got it. Middle click will do exactly what you just asked for.

I'm not sure if I understand it (ok, I don't). The contacts are hidden, and when you move the mouse to the position it is supposed to be, it appears for 1 second or so?
