| Sorry, missed 3.61 entirely. By the time I woke up, 3.62 was out. :)
Tabs off as default does sound best, but maybe a shortcut to turning them on and off could be on the views menu?
The refresh time in 3.62 looks pretty good for the tabs, but was the indication that a world is closed taken out from the tabs? Its not showing up for me, at least. | | Top |

| | Well, yes. Previously it just took the window title, which had the word "[closed]" in it (sometimes). Now it queries the name of the world and adds the number of unseen lines. So it is done differently. |

| | Ah, okay. And it isn't easily doable to use the same kind of colour-coding as the activity toolbar has for different world statuses in addition to reporting the number of new lines? | | Top |

| I'll look at it, but the problems with colour coding are not so much doing the colours, as choosing what they are. Since Windows lets each use customise their theme, an arbitrary decision to use (say) green for connected worlds, might make the text invisible if they happen to have a green theme.
So you would need to define what the colours needed are (like, connected, closed, new activity, etc.) and then we could look at having somewhere that defines what those colours actually are for an individual user, and then finally drawing them. |

| | You worry too much about stuff you shouldn't... Why not just implement it if it's easy and worry about themes later. Besides, if I had a green theme, I just wouldn't choose green as a colour. |

| OK, I've looked at it. The colour is not chosen anywhere in the code I do, it is drawn by the tabs control.
I'm not going to change it right now, at least you have tabs, and the number in brackets indicates new activity. |

| | Isn't the issue with colour schemes & themes already present for the colouring of the numbers on the activity toolbar as well? Wouldn't the effect be the same there if someone picked a colour for closed (or active) which clashes with their theme? | | Top |

| | To an extent, however the button bars are actually small bitmaps (images), so the number and its background are fixed. They may clash with your colour scheme, but at least they will always be readable. |

| Oh, heh, my theme is so close to the background colour on those buttons that I didn't realize they were images. :)
I do think, as was pointed out, that most people will think about their theme colours when they select the colour scheme for the tabs (if there was such an option), but for now it works okay with just the line numbers. It would just be that much more noticeable with colour. :) | | Top |
