Essential Treebar Options - 20/08/06 09:27 AM
The treebar needs it's own set of msg/event/hilight colors, especially for people that have a black background. I personally use a black background because it's easier to read for me, but a white treebar stands out like fluorescent clothing at a goth club. While you can change the treebar backcolor and default text color in the colors panel, the special colors are the same as the switchbar. The switchbar has a light background and forces the default text color to be black, meaning that you can never use the same genre of colors for both. (switchbar has light bg, dark default text.. so you must use dark event colors, meaning your treebar bg must be light, meaning your entire theme must be light to match). So yeah.
The other feature i would greatly suggest would be an "auto show treebar when switchbar is full" option. To me, the treebar is only worth the space it takes up when i'm in so many channels/networks that i can barely manage my switchbar. If i'm only on one network and in a few channels, the treebar isn't worth the inches of screen it takes up.
Also, the docs say you can put the switchbar on left/right/top/bottom ("like the toolbar"), but i can't seem to get it on top or bottom. I realize this can easily be done in scripting, but think it's better if it's the default option. Thanks.
