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
- In skins/default/xui/en/panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml
Change the max_width (pixels) from 320 to a more suitable value - try 1000 for greater. The chat bar can still shrink to fit smaller windows.
<string name="max_width">
320
</string>
-- 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
Hiding the Gesture button
Hiding it gives more room for extending the chat bar. (And the button is pretty useless anyways. :P)

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"

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.
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
With the xml from
http://pastebin.com/xyiczDy0
Additional XML Code used
<!--Grid Status-->
<menu_item_call
label="Grid status"
layout="topleft"
name="Grid Status">
<menu_item_call.on_click
function="PromptShowURL"
name="GridStatus_url"

</menu_item_call>
<!--End Xstreet Edit-->
Result will appear as above.

Buttons for Map, Mini-Map and Inventory added
These buttons have been added on the bottom bar as in 1.23. They all produce the appropriate popup windows, including the 'Inventory' one.
- Replace panel_bottomtray.xml located in skins\default\xui\en with the xml from
http://pastebin.com/jdUXLfri
or if you had previously applied the 'Gesture' button removal tweak use the xml from
http://pastebin.com/SfMW89bN
-- Hitomi Tiponi, 7 March 2010
Thank you Hitomi! A slight mod on yours which removes the Camera and Movement buttons and makes Map - Minimap and Inventory larger sized.
http://pastebin.com/Ac6Eb8iP
-- Garn Conover, 7 March 2010
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".
