Extend the Nearby Chat bar

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

This patch allows for a much wider chatbar for text input, making it more suitable for entering and editing text in conversations and meetings.

I've show the values I use for a large screen but the elements are scalable and will fit smaller windows.

Updated allow wider, scalable chatbar without overlapping the voice controls by Psi Merlin
Updated for panel_bottomtray.xml by Naomah Beaumont March 15,2010
Original fix by Psi Merlin

Make the chatbar drag-resizeable

  • In skins/default/xui/en/panel_bottomtray.xml , as indicated in the Chat Bar extension tweak,

in the "layout_panel" section for "filename="panel_nearby_chat_bar.xml",

A simple tweak, but it works: Simply change...

          name="chat_bar"
          user_resize="false"

to

          name="chat_bar"
          user_resize="true"

-- Michi Lumin, March 31 2010

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

These buttons have been added on the bottom bar as in 1.23. They all produce the appropriate popup windows, including the 'Inventory' one.

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:

Flyout.png Toast Over.png Window Background.png Window Foreground.png Window NoTitle Background.png Window NoTitle Foreground.png

  • Copy the downloaded files into \skins\default\textures\windows overwriting the existing files.
  • For windows that go opaque when you click in them, don't replace the 4th and 6th files above. --Latha

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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<panel
 background_visible="false"
 height="152"
 label="im_panel"
...

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:

TaskPanel Tab Off.png TaskPanel Tab Over.png 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.

Adding Advanced Sky Editor and About land buttons on top navigation bar

Replace panel_navigation_bar.xml in skins/default/xui/en/ with XML from

User:Opensource_Obscure/Panel_Navigation_Bar.

Getting Vertical Chat Tabs

To make your chat window tabs vertical the way Emerald has them, edit C:\Program Files\SecondLifeBetaViewer\skins\default\xui\en\floater_im_container.xml. Look for the line that says tab_position="bottom" and change it to tab_position="left". Next, find the line that says tab_width="64" and set it to something somewhat bigger than 64, or all the names of those IMming you will be truncated. Finally, to compensate for the change in size and avoid having border lines going through your typed text, find the line that reads icon height="17" and set it to 24.

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".
