 3.4. Containers
|
|
|
|
|
|
A container is a window that can contain many other windows within itself. This gives you the ability to group multiple conversations, channels, or status windows into one view and switch easily between them, all while using only one task bar entry for the group. It allows you to stay organized even with many windows open.

 Creating a container
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a lot of chat windows open, it's easy to put them all into a container.
Right click one of the windows and click Attach->New Container.
In the box that pops up, name the container and choose if you want to make it a Tabbed container, or a Normal container (you can change this later)
When you click OK, the window will be put into a container with the name you specified.

Adding to an existing container
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you already have a container and would like to add another window to it, right click the window you would like to add and click Attach->Recent Containers. Click the container you would like to use and that window will be added to that container.

|
Tabbed and Normal containers
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can switch between Tabbed and Normal mode on the container. Just right click the container and either check or uncheck the "Tabbed" box (in tabbed mode) or click the "Set as tabbed container" (if you are in Normal mode).
Tabbed
In the tabbed configuration the windows will show as tabs at the top of the container. When a buddy sends you a message, their tab will flash. You can just click that tab to switch to that chat window.
Normal
In Normal container mode, the container will act more like your desktop. The windows will remain re-sizable, the taskbar will appear at the bottom of the container. You can move the windows around and resize them in the container if you choose.

|
Removing windows from a container
|
|
|
|
|
|
To remove windows from a container, click the chat window and drag it out of the container. If you want to remove all windows from the container at once, right click the container and click "Detach all and close".
