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
- 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
