Icon only contactlist

Post by keesj »

Hi,

I configured my contract-list so I only see the user icons. It looks kinda cool but it would be even cooler if it had a Dock-a-like rollover sizing thingie.

This can be implemented when the contact is more dock-a-like like I described some time ago in http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic. ... highlight= .

For now, it would be cool if the "icon-only" could be a standard contact-list. It would be handy too if I could put the icons horizontal, or maybe a box/table with rows and columns..

Oppinions?

EDIT:
I now see somebody already created a icon only contact list.

I think the resizing thing has been discussed before, and if I remember correctly, it was concluded that that was a special thing limited to the dock, and doing it with other applications would be very hard. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Not to mention a pain to code and damaging to the user experience (it breaks many UI rules/laws, but looks pretty 8))

If somebody one day happens to find a way to create this easily.. it would be something cool to get new adium-users :P.
