Chat Tab configuration

sloejack · #1 09-09-2005, 08:29 AM

One of the UI mods here (I think it's the TyeJae one) distributes some chat tab filter configurations with it as part of the user_ui.xml replacement. This was a pretty handy thing however the UI just didn't fit my style of play. I was wondering if there were some good examples of 5-10 tab chat filters that people found to be useful in terms of segregating information into more useful blocks.

You can still use the window placements/config file without using the UI.
You may need to move/reset windows but you would have your tabs.

Here's mine from the ThorUI

You might take a peak at the eXtreme UI chat tab setup. In playing around with that UI recently I've come to enjoy the way the chat tabs are configured. By all means, let us know if you find one that works particularly well!

Thanks for the replies all, you gave me some good examples of what I was describing but I probably wasn't very clear with what I was asking. Mostly what I was looking for was other peoples ideas on how to organize their chat bars so that information of a given type could be easily organized and found. Probably a squishier question than the types of existing interfaces that implement some form of this. To that end, having kicked it around in my own head and tried to determine an organization that would work, the following link takes you to an HTML page with a table I made to visually organize how I should configure it.

At the moment I use one wide chat window along the bottom of my screen with all 11 tabs, one of the ideas I've been thinking about is splitting it into two windows one with the priority information and then another for the secondary and catch all.
