I want to maximise the window so that its maximised within mIRC and then minimise it so that I return to my defualt mirc background without any windows on top. If im not being clear, tell me and ill provide some pics.

I (*think* I) know what he means, don't know how to resolve what he wants though...

If you upen mIRC and have the status window tiled (as opposed to maxamise) when you open another window (be it channel/custom etc) it is also tiled.

i.e. it is not set to fit in the whole mIRC window.

Code:

 -----------------------------------
|M|mIRC - [Status]            |_||X|
|-----------------------------------|
|                                   |&lt;---Main mIRC Window
|  __________________               |
| | Status     |_||X|&lt;-------------|---Status Window
| |--- ______________|___           |
| |   | #Channel   |_||X|          |
| |   |------------------|          |
| |   |                |^|          |
| |   |                |-|          |
| |   |                | |&lt;---------|---Channel Window
| |   |                |[color:#666666][/color]|          |
| |   |                | |          |
| |___|                | |          |
| |___|                |-|          |
|     |________________|_|          |
|     |__________________|          |
|                                   |
|-----------------------------------|
||Status|#Channel|@Custom|          |&lt;-----Toolbar (Window List)

Basically, these windows are tiled. He wants to open a window, maxamise it (not Restore) so it fits the main mIRC window, and then minimise it

Now, when you send a second /join command and you are already in the channel, mIRC simply switches to that channel window. Can't test it because I'm not able to connect to a server, BUT, I did try it on custom windows... /window -x @Test /window -n @Test and if I am in @Test window while it is maximised, and type /window -n @Test, it minimises... Worth a try... Aubs.
