==== Make UI components semi-transparent ====

===== Option 1 =====

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

This will change:
* About Land
* Conversations
* Debug Settings
* Environment Editor
* Find border
* Map
* My Land
* Nearby Chat
* Preferences
* Region/Estate
* Script editor border
* Snapshot Preview
* Statistics
Add more to this list if you discover them.

'''Note:''' You may have to tear off, click, or mess with Nearby Chat once for the change to take effect.

''-- Jonathan Yap 01:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)''

===== Option 2 =====

This will change most of the popups/windows/widgets/whatever backgrounds (not the sidebar) to semi-transparent.

* Navigate to '''\skins\default\textures\windows'''
* Make a backup copy of Flyout.png, Toast_Over.png, Window_Background.png, Window_Foreground.png, Window_NoTitle_Background.png, Window_NoTitle_Foreground.png
* Download the following files:
[[File:Flyout.png]]
[[File:Toast Over.png]]
[[File:Window Background.png]]
[[File:Window Foreground.png]]
[[File:Window NoTitle Background.png]]
[[File:Window NoTitle Foreground.png]]
* Copy the downloaded files into '''\skins\default\textures\windows''' overwriting the existing files

To make the IM pop-up background transparent:
* Make a backup copy of '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_instant_message.xml'''
* Open '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_instant_message.xml''' in a text editor
* In the third line of the file change the value of "background_visible" to false
* Example:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<panel
background_visible="false"
height="152"
label="im_panel"
...
</pre>

To make the Sidebar tabs semi-transparent:
* Navigate to '''\skins\default\textures\taskpanel'''
* Make a backup copy of TaskPanel_Tab_Off.png, TaskPanel_Tab_Over.png and TaskPanel_Tab_Selected.png
* Download the following files:
[[File:TaskPanel Tab Off.png]]
[[File:TaskPanel Tab Over.png]]
[[File:TaskPanel Tab Selected.png]]
* Copy the downloaded files into '''\skins\default\textures\taskpanel''' overwriting the existing files

'''Note:''' You may have to tear off, click, mess with Nearby Chat or relog for the change to take effect.

== Debug Settings ==

Go to the Advanced menu and click on Show Debug Settings.

Things you might want to change:

* '''ChannelBottomPanelMargin''' -- set to 30 to have your popup chats start a little lower
* '''mediaControlFadeTime''' -- Amount of time before the media control window fades out. Increase from 1.5 seconds to 10 or so.
* '''NearbyToastLifeTime''' -- How long popup chats are on the screen
* '''PluginInstancesTotal''' -- set to 0 if you never want media on a prim to play, even if you click on a MoaP, or increase it if you want to see more than the default of 8. (Note that MoaP is '''not''' the only place where SLPlugin is used. It will also affect the "Home" panel of the sidebar, the Help Browser and the search. Setting this to 0 will not allow you to use the search anymore!)
* '''ToastGap''' -- set to 0 to close up the gap between popup chats
* '''ShowHoverTips''' -- set to FALSE to turn off in-world hover tips over objects. Alternatively, restore the menu item and the ctrl-shift-T shortcut by editing menu_viewer.xml and removing the two sets of comment markers near the word "hover".

Thanks, Eternus, love those vertical tabs! I encountered a horizontal line through my text entry box when using this in conjunction with Jonathan's transparent floater tweak below, and fixed it by setting the icon height="24" (was height="17") toward the bottom of floater_im_container.xml .

DigitaL Scribe: /* XML modifications */

''A place to share tweaks for Viewer 2''

== XML modifications ==

Note: you may need to replace ''en'' with the appropriate code of the language you're using: ''fr'', ''it''...<BR>
Example: in 1.1, Italian users should edit this file: skins/default/xui/'''it'''/panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml

==== Extend the Nearby Chat bar ====

* In '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml'''
Change the max_width (pixels) to a more suitable value.
<pre>
<string name="max_width">
320
</string>
</pre>
Try a value of 1000 or greater.

==== Close IM windows instead of just minimize ====

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

''--Garn Conover 14:05:36, 28 February 2010 (UTC)''

==== 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.

==== Add Grid Status and Xstreet option under Me ====

Handy two option modification to open Grid status or Xstreet webpages from within your viewer!

Will appear under "Me" once you have logged into secondlife via the Viewer.

* Replace the xml inside '''menu_viewer.xml''' located in '''skins\default\xui\en'''
With the xml from

[http://pastebin.com/xyiczDy0 http://pastebin.com/xyiczDy0]

'''NOTE''' Change "en" to whatever language folder you use if not English.

Additional XML Code used
<pre>

<menu_item_call
label="Grid status"
layout="topleft"
name="Grid Status">
<menu_item_call.on_click
function="PromptShowURL"
name="GridStatus_url"
parameter="WebLaunchJoinNow,http://status.secondlifegrid.net/" />
</menu_item_call>


<menu_item_call
label="Xstreet Marketplace"
layout="topleft"
name="Xstreet Marketplace">
<menu_item_call.on_click
function="PromptShowURL"
name="Xstreet_url"
parameter="WebLaunchJoinNow,http://www.xstreetsl.com/" />
</menu_item_call>

</pre>

Result will appear as above.
