Goal: An Icon-Only Contact List for .82
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2005 3:15 am
Hey, under .81 I had a pretty good icon only contact list, but .82's scroll wheel behavior is different, so I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on how I could get around it.
Old settings:
I had the maximum width of my buddy list set to 44. I had my buddy icons set to 42x42, and then a 2 pixel margin on the left side. This allowed me to see each buddy's status (Available, Away, Idle, or Away & Idle) at the same time. Whenever more buddies came on than my screen could handle, the scroll bar would appear outside of the 44 pixel area.
Now:
The scroll bar appears inside the 44 pixel area. This means that my buddy icons are partially covered by the scroll bar.
If I increase the maximum width to prevent the scroll bar from covering the icons, then when fewer than a full screen's worth of buddies are online, I get another 10 or so pixels of the status color, and the first letter of my buddy's name or something.
Any ideas on what settings I could use to get it close to what I used to have under .81?
(Edited to call it bar.)
