Small request: bigger font in the "contact info. tooltips"

[remain]

The "contact information tooltips" are those small "panels" that appear when you hover the mouse over people in the contact list.

However, the font of the tooltips' bottom part ("Status:" or "Away Message:") is a bit small.

For certain foreign characters (such as Chinese, Japanese, etc.), it's nearly unreadable.

So I'd like to request slightly bigger fonts (or maybe just "regular size" fonts) for the bottom part of the contact information tooltips.


Thank you very much!

Bump.

Now, in 1.3b4 and later, MSN personal messages are supported and are displayed in that location.

I think this only makes it more important to have that text be in a font size that is readable, especially for aforementioned foreign languages.

Bump.


Example:

Please do not bump, it's not right!
I don't know whether this can be done.

...Huh?

I don't know whether this can be done.

Um... what? Isn't this just a matter of making the font size of that text larger? (Or basically, making it the same font size as the rest of the contact information tooltip's text, like the email's font size.)

Bumping is something one is not supposed to do in forums.

I meant I'm not sure whether the devs would consider changing this.

I hope they'll consider it.

Just added my 2c here

Others, please don't do that.

And therein lies the rub... along the lines of the comments made in #adium earlier today.

I have been told quite bluntly repeatedly that things requested in the forums won't get done because there's no ticket. Forums & irc are ultimately just chat. Tickets get things done.

Ooookay, so I found the ticket. It was opened 3 *years* ago and is marked low priority. IOW, it ain't gonna get done as-is. So what's the end-user recourse here? Beg in the forum, which means nothing? Or add something to the ticket that will hopefully get a developer's attention and raise its priority?

darmok, Your comment was ok. What I just fear is that more people from this thread could follow your example and add their "me 2s".

Edit: Sorry, I should have said that in my last post.

[darmok]

oOo! Yer about to roll yer odometer! Congrats!

Eventually these will be rewritten to use the same tabled display stuff as the new info inspector. Eventually. This will probably also bring about a more cleanly sized font.
