Close IM windows instead of just minimize

  • A workaround for this is to change can_close="true" in the floater_im_container.xml file.

Vertical Tabs in the Tabbed Chats Window

If you have used Emerald or a few other third party viewers, and used the vertical tabs setting, you know why this is useful. The new viewer can be hacked to have vertical tabs. Go to the folder where you installed it and look in the skins folder for your locale (mine is C:\Program Files\SecondLifeBetaViewer\skins\default\xui\en) for a file called floater_im_container.xml. Open that in your favorite text editor and look for a line that says tab_position="bottom" and change it to say tab_position="left". then look for a line that says tab_width="64" and change that to tab_width="134" (or any width that looks good to you and within the minimum and maximum definitions defined in adjacent lines). That will give you vertical tabs on friend and group IMs.

NOTE! i do not know how this will affect if you don't use a single tabbed window for IM's, but i suspect that ungrouped IM are not affected at all because i dont think they use this container layout defined in this file.

Graphics modifications

Make chat and on/offline popups semi-transparent

  • Navigate to \skins\default\textures\windows
  • Make a backup copy of Toast_Over.png
  • Copy Toast_Background.png to Toast_Over.png

-- Jonathan Yap 14:29, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Make Named Windows (Nearby Chat, Conversations, etc.) semi-transparent

  • Navigate to \skins\default\textures\windows
  • Make a backup copy of Window_Background.png
  • Copy Toast_Background.png to Window_Background.png

This will also affect About Land and the border of Find. Add more to this list if you discover them.

You may have to tear off Nearby Chat once for the change to take effect.
