Status in Chat Window

Post by cadillac22 »

Is there any way, or any plans, on having the ability too see a status change in the chat window. For example, I would like to see what songs my friends are listening but available statuses do not shot up in the chat window, only away ones. I know iChat does this, that would be the kind of functionality i would want to have.

We did this initially, but people complained very loudly, because it could flood the chat window.

Is it possible to see the status of the chat partner in the title
or somewhere else in the chat window? I´ve searched everywhere
in the config, but can´t find this point.

I leave some chat windows open for days and have always
to look in the contact list if the chat partner is online or
not. :\

You could enable always show tab bar in the Advanced Messages preferences; you'd then see the contact's tab along with status icon.

Thank you very much. I had disabled the tabs cause I use a seperate
window for every chat.
