Trying to decide if i like zMud enough to switch to it so im trying to get a feel for it before my trial ends.

Having a problem with windows though, i have created a Thought window for DR which throws things into it based on the message, however whenever something goes to it it switches the focus to that window which prevents me from typing in the main window. A great annoyence. I also have the activate window on input option

Second problem it defaults to black text on a black background but if i open preffs and hit apply it changes back to the color i have my prefference set to....

turn off the activate window on input to solve the first problem.. for the second, after you change the color, with that window still selected, save the preferences..

for your first problem, how are you sending things to the window? If you're having a problem, you really ought to post the code you are using so those of us who actually know the answer to your quandary can point it out to you.

With that said, it sounds very much you are doing something like this to send stuff to the window:

Thoughts:stuff to send

Notice how there is only one colon? That tells ZMud to switch the window focus to the Thoughts window. To prevent the switch, add a second colon or using a command like #WINDOW:

:Thoughts:stuff to send
#window Thoughts {stuff to send}

Just to round things off here, using the : method prevents any expansion stuff from happening so if you send "<send Test>Text</send>", you will see that exact string in the window. If you sent it via the #WINDOW command, you will see a hyperlink.
