One Window UI

[nk]

this will not be the default. nonetheless some people like this design (tkabber, jbother and others).

so we will expose this in General tab under Preferences.

I did a proof-of-concept (or a bit more than that actually) that one can use to fight bugs, test and extend.

note that we cannot reparent the WINDOW itself, so I go for the notebook.

See attachments

ps. Travis, what is the alignment in msg_window before notebook is doing there. is it left over?

actual svn version :

patching file src/gtkgui.glade Hunk #3 FAILED at 18141. Hunk #4 FAILED at 18160. 2 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/gtkgui.glade.rej

[nk]

yes it is normal that gtkgui.glade patching failed. I cleaned it now.

[jim++]

Thanks. That sounds very interesting :)

To fix :

• When opening a muc (auto open or not) that doesn't work.
• When opening chat with middle click in roster, that doesn't work.
• It must be possible to choose the size of roster (like in muc)
• First opened chat lost middle and right click on tab.
• When you close all tabs, OneWindow? is not resized to roster size. If you reopen a chat, it's only in half of the height of the window.
• When you open a new discussion, this tab is not selected.

* emoticon selector's window is positioned badly. (IIRC the same with actions button)

generally it took me 20 mins to do it.

it needs much love, but I may do it someday, and in fact I may use this single UI as personal preference.

please add an option to decide on which side the roster should be. I like

to have the roster on the right side and not on the left like in the example.

The tkabber is the best with this

[dkirov]

with gconf

key: /apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy value is one of ('single', 'double')

This ticket is 99% done on this branch  svn://svn.gajim.org/gajim/branches/one_window. Please test.

I like it. Works very nice for me, especially because I use a tiling window manager.

One thing that annoys me a bit: if I hit CTRL-R, the roster dissappears, which is good, so I have more space for my message windows. But if I hit ESC, and there's only one window open, I have to call gajim-remote toggle_roster_appaerence, to get my roster back.

Would it be hard to check if the last window was just closed and then show roster again?

I'll fix this for sure.

another thing that could be usefull is an ACE option to put roster on the right or on the left of chat widnows.

Is there an option for doing this with the muc roster? Two rosters side by side in the case of muc rooms might look totally weird.

[asterix]

no there is not ... but ... we can add one

Is it possible to merge this white border (the expander of the roster) with the chat window, like it is done in groupchats with the gc-roster.

See screenshot.

I don't see what you mean.
