I think that the floating info bar should be resizeable, and contain multiple lines. Is that possible?

I tried that - it is fiddly to do, so probably not in the near future.

Yeah. It would be almost easier to create his own info bar design, rather that using the pre-built nonsense that MS came up with. Fiddly probably only just barely begins to describe some of the quirks it has with multiple lines, even excluding the well known docking problem. lol

If you want really fancy stuff, and have a copy of full VB, you can write quite sophisticated stuff. I have examples on the forum of writing an interface between MUSHclient and VB, after that the sky is the limit for what you can implement.

For example, see:

This describes a multi-line "info bar" which is implemented in a separate program.
