Forums General Discussion Some questions?

Today I spent time looking over the versions.txt on this site, I am looking for the following features:

26.Changed control/ignore dialog, now displays unignore seconds instead of minutes. <-- I can't find the ignore dialog

52.Added auto-hide nick list option in channel nick list dialog. <-- can't find it?

If anyone can find it, please tell me.

I found the auto-hide nicklist, its on the top left of the status, channel option thing.

The ignore dialog is found under your Address Book (ALT+B) > Control tab
Choose Ignore from the droplist.

With "on the top left of the status, channel option thing", you mean it is in the channel window system menu.

Each window has a system menu. The system menu button is the little thingy in the top left hand corner of a window ie. the button you usually double-click to close a window. Click it once with your left mouse button.Alternatively type Alt - (alt + minus). It will popup the usual system menu (with options to move, minimize, maximize and close) but with a few added functions (these vary depending on the type of window).

Each channel window system menu has a 'Nick list..." item leading to a dialog with the 'Auto-hide nick list' option.

Or right click on a channel's switchbar tab and you get the same menu

A little thing about the auto-hide nicklist, to make it come into view, you'll find that you have to move the mouse to the top-half of where the nicklist once was. Thanks for Andy- for informing me of this, since I thought the nicklist just wasn't liking me.

wow..... never thought of that!


yup, there is a sort of 'sweet spot' where you have to move your mouse to. This has been done to make sure you're able to reach the channels scroll bar. Still the auto-hide option might have some side effects, but this is about as good as it will get.
