Forums Feature Suggestions Highlighting with window event colour

I have two /window suggestions

Add /window -g3 to highlight with the event colour

Add a /window switch to change the state of a window (ie -x or -r) but not activate it

Guess what, /window -g3 already works. It colours the switchbar button with the event colour.

var %active = $active
window -xr <windowname>
window -a %active

If there are multiple connections involved,

var %active = $cid $active
window -xr <windowname>
scid $gettok(%active, 1, 32)
window -a $gettok(%active, 2, 32)

Yeah it's the best you can do for now I guess. Btw, instead of setting a %var to $active you can use $lactive. Also, the window name should be enclosed in quotes, in order to work properly for window names of more than 1 word:

window -xr <windowname>
window -a $+(",$$lactive,")

Thank you qwerty, that one isn't documented in the help file.

It is documented; I just wasn't positive it worked across scons so I played it safe instead.

/help on ACTIVE

That was actually a reply to the /window -g3, but thank you for your suggestion too, Hammer.
