Description Scott Lewis CLA 2005-09-28 00:04:30 EDT
Several UI features needed for multi-user chat:

The entered/left messages were missing the server name, for example,
"(2005-09-15 13:19:26) Lux@org entered the room."

There should be an option to supress the "xyz entered/left the room" message.

Allow right click on a person to get more info or send IM or block.

Let the user change font size easily. Right click in chat window should have a
Preferences option.

The font size preference doesn't seem to work (tried setting it, applying it, no
effect, closed chat view, reopened it, no effect).

Show when somebody (like the main guest) is typing.


Show emoticons like  :)  and  :-P  .


The text entry area should be word wrapped.

You cannot paste multiple lines of text into the text entry area. Only the first
line is pasted.

There is no audio feedback for anything in ECF. For example, new IM,
entered/left room, etc.

IM window should be a detached view.

The Join ECF Group dialog should remember the previous settings.

I'm getting a user signature string that does not include the server's full
name, but is otherwise correct. This may be because the chat server software is
not configured to report it (i.e., it uses the server's local hostname w/out any
domain name).

Done.
