Making new windows pop up
 
Is it possible to make it so any of the chat windows you create pop into view (such as on teh tabbed ones) so they dont have the stupid green thing that never grabs my attention anymore? I know there is an option to do it, but im looking to create it in a way that it will flash only certain windows, kind of like a hierarchy as to which window is more important to view. for example, tells above all, where tells wil override the other tabs, ooc second, war channel third, etc.

Well, the way to make a window come into focus is:

windowname:

So, you could modify your tells capture trigger to something like:

#TR {^%w tells you~:} {#CAP Tells; Tells:}


I don't have a solution for assigning the windows priority. And i'd like to add that imho, this wouldn't be all that great of an idea. Windows changing focus at possibly in-opportune times? None for me thanks!

Click one to give it focus, then on the menu bar, click View, Preferences, General. At the bottom of the preferences, click/expand Windows.

Check 'Automatically bring to front window with activity.

I have noticed that I can undock and move several tabbed windows at once by dragging the Title Bar rather than a tab. I have never tried to create tabbed windows of tabbed windows(won't try it either, I think that's sure to cause problems), but you *might* be able to put high priority channel windows in one tabbed window, low priority channels in a second tabbed window, then dock the second collection over the first....then only have the high priority windows brought to the front when they get changed. Good luck.
