Status Msg/Tune in the conversation window

Post by fabio-s »

Hi,

Is there any way to see the status message and/or tune of another user in the conversation window?
At the moment I'm opening the contact list to see that.

Thanks!

What is this 'Tune' that you mention?

I don't believe it is possible to see the status in the message window. Why not just keep the contact list visible at all times?

Tune is the song that the user is listening. When I stop the mouse over a contact in the contact list a pop up window is shown with the status message and the Tune, which is most cases is the same, but that's not the point here.
The point is that sometimes I'm talking to somebody and they say "Oh great song this one I'm listening", and I have to open the contact list and check what song they're listening.

And I don't keep the contact list opened because sometimes I leave a conversation window in the corner while I work in other apps, I just can't keep everything in front in my screen. But if there isn't another is there a way to bring the contact list (and only the contact list) above with a shortcut? The shortcut in General tab in Preferences don't bring the contact list if it's closed.

Thanks!
