Smaller chat window buttons
Umm i think that it should have some options to make the chat buttons smaller and an option to hide the menu on the chat window.

adding on to other ideas
yeah.. i am liking these ideas.. one thing that ive always hated about aim is that it is big and clunky.. especially in low resolutions.. one thing i like about aim+ is that it takes that clunkiness away when you get rid of the ads and things, but cant we take that a step further?
what i mean is, i use trillian because its skinnable without having to keep the actual window shape.. the problem, i find it isnt as functional as aim, because there are bugs, and since its software that uses someone elses network, it usually takes alot of time to work those out, and by the time they do, there are new ones because of new features on the network.. anyway, im babbling.. my point is:
cant we combine the two? i dont know if this is possible.. but can we take the infastructure of the aim program, and make it skinnable, or at least a bit less intrusive?
you can add and remove whatever things you want with the old aim+ (menu bar, ads, aim logo, either button bar, etc..).. how about making a NEW bar with buttons, or whatever, and make THAT customizable in itself, like how internet explorer lets you take out or leave in certain individual buttons to its toolbars..
something regarding the color you guys were talking about.. again, ill compare with trillian.. it has a feature that strips any incoming color, font, styles into a default.. so say someone that you wanna talk to speaks in magenta comic sans at 16pt with a yellow back ground.. i use 10 pt black tahoma on a white back ground.. if i set that to my default, i could make it appear on my window as the same as my text, or whatever i wanna set the senders IMs in.. this could also be useful for people with bad eyes (or the color blind, ME) to set things bigger than normal, or plain..
I LIKE AIM+ OVER TRILLIAN BECAUSE IT ONLY CHANGES THE APPEARANCE OF AIM, NOT THE FUNCTIONALITY.. THANKS BIG-O
(yeah, that was corny)
