I've been looking into the Port Flags Concept with no luck as of yet. Currently, custom checkboxes do not save their state when you log out. I'm looking in the direction of the Notes.txt file you find in your EQ2 folder (this is the file that keeps custom made notes regarding friends in your friends' list). I've been testing various ways to create such a file that can save port flag info, but it's slow going.
As for the chat window with the dead space in tabbed mode:
The dead space you're looking at is the title bar. So far the only solution I've come up with is to remove the title bar, unfortunately, this would remove the close button as well. But I'll keep working on it
