==== Extend the Nearby Chat bar ====
'''UPDATED FIX''' for viewer 2.0.0 (202711)


* In '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml'''
* In '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_bottomtray.xml'''
Change the max_width (pixels) to a more suitable value.
Change the max_width (pixels) from 320 to 768.
Change the min_width (pixels) from 216 to 512
<pre>
<pre>
<string name="max_width">
        <layout_panel
    320
mouse_opaque="false"
</string>
        auto_resize="false"
        follows="left|right"

Based on the original fix by [[User:Psi_Merlin | ''Psi Merlin'']]
 
==== Extend the width of Chat Toasts====
 
* In '''skins/default/xui/en/panel_chat_item.xml'''
Change the first "width" statement (in pixels) from "315" to a wider value, such as that of your extended chat bar (see above).
<pre>
  <panel
    name="instant_message"
    width="315"

==== 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.
''-- Eternus Soulstar 16:42, 28 February 2010 (UTC)''
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 .
''-- Latha Serevi  1 March 2010''
To remove the icons in the vertical tabs, change
<code>use_custom_icon_ctrl="true"</code> to
<code>use_custom_icon_ctrl="false"</code>

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

Will appear under "Me" once you have logged into secondlife via the Viewer.
'''NOTE''' Change "en" to whatever language folder you use if not English and make the modification by hand (This is for english only).
* Replace the xml inside '''menu_viewer.xml''' located in '''skins\default\xui\en'''

== 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".
Also see: [[Debug_settings]].
== Patches that require Code changes ==
=== Revert camera controls ===

A place to share tweaks for Viewer 2

KBwarning.png Warning: These are unofficial and Linden Lab can't guarantee them to work. Use at your own risk.

XML modifications

Note: you may need to replace en with the appropriate code of the language you're using: fr, it...
Example: in "Extend the Nearby Chat bar", Italian (it) users should edit this file: skins/default/xui/it/panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml

Extend the Nearby Chat bar

UPDATED FIX for viewer 2.0.0 (202711)

  • In skins/default/xui/en/panel_bottomtray.xml

Change the max_width (pixels) from 320 to 768. Change the min_width (pixels) from 216 to 512

        <layout_panel
 	mouse_opaque="false"
         auto_resize="false"
         follows="left|right"
         height="28"
         layout="topleft"
         left="0"
         min_height="23"
         width="310"
         top="4"
         max_width="320"
         min_width="216"
         name="chat_bar"
         user_resize="false"
         filename="panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml" />

You will have to edit this file with administrator privs under MacOS X.

-- Naomah Beaumont March 15,2010

Based on the original fix by Psi Merlin

Extend the width of Chat Toasts

  • In skins/default/xui/en/panel_chat_item.xml

Change the first "width" statement (in pixels) from "315" to a wider value, such as that of your extended chat bar (see above).

   <panel
     name="instant_message"
     width="315"
     height="180"
  follows="all">

-- Michi Lumin, March 2 2010

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.

-- Eternus Soulstar 16:42, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


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 .

-- Latha Serevi 1 March 2010

To remove the icons in the vertical tabs, change use_custom_icon_ctrl="true" to use_custom_icon_ctrl="false"

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".

Also see: Debug_settings.
