I recently enabled the window tabs feature and enjoy it, but I'm curious about the counters I sometimes see start up in the tabs. I assume it's the number of lines that have ocurred while the window was not in focus -- if so, is there any way to turn the counter off?

Yes it is the number of new lines received, which is defined as lines arriving while that window does not have the focus.

It is hard-coded to do that, so there is no current option to turn it off. The general idea is that the number alerts you to the need to switch back to that tab and see what important messages you have missed, after which it clears itself after a second or so.

I guess I can see the benefit. If there could be a way to turn it off in future versions, that'd be nice - I have MUSHclient open on a second monitor and I can watch what's going on without it having to have focus and the increasing number is kind of pointless then.

In version 4.26 you can disable the counter with a one-line script:


/SetOption ("do_not_show_outstanding_lines", 1)


Then, save the world. It will be remembered for next time.

This will need Lua scripting enabled, and "/" as the script prefix.
