Forums Bug Reports switchbar wasted space with many windows open

my switchbar on mirc currently looks like this: http://hammer.prohosting.com/~squirtel/badbar.html It's kinda annoying that mirc won't use that space at the end, the buttons aren't as big as they could be Enabling the "Fill Switchbar" option has no effect

broken link.

it's not broken, my webhost is just annoying about image links. If you copy/paste it into the address it should work.

404 Error - File Not Found
The page or file you were looking for was not found.

came up for me, like 800 channels/queries open

i got to your ss fine. i agree that in your situation it is kinda annoying that mirc won't use the space at the end of the switchbar, but with that many open windows, isn't the point moot? i mean, it's not like utilizing that space will allow you to read the title of any of those windows.

imo, if you used a custom switchbar (of which there are many at ms.org), you would be able to better view/work with all of the windows that you have open.

It'll work fine if you paste into the addressbar instead of clicking the link.

Many free webhosts will check the HTTP referrer header provided by the web client to see if an image is being accessed directly from a remote location (and not serve the file if it is).

As for Ashkrynt: I agree it probably should fill all the space available, for what little good that will do you.

The reason mIRC doesn't fill the switchbar completely is because there isn't enough space to add one pixel to the width of each window button in that row.

Of course, it could add one pixel to some of the buttons but then there would be an imbalance in the universe. And we can't have that. It would tilt over to one side.

I still say you should just add a pager control type of thing, that would fix virtually all the problems.

Actually there's about 155px of space at the end, and only 38 buttons, so theres enough room to add 4 pixels to each

Very valid point. I count at a bare minimum of 130 pixels which could give each window at least another 3 pixels. With me, it's not so much that I'd want to be able to read the title but that I'd like to see the switchbar full. Either way, it's cosmetic, and highly trival.

You have to taken into account the seperators though, and space between buttons, you dont want buttons and seperators to be touching each other.... that wouldn't be right.

What seperators? What space?

We're not talking about opening new windows, we're talking about the spacing between the currently opened windows.
