How to get seperate IM windows automatically?

[Bane Bracken]

I cannot figure out how to have seperate IM windows automatically on Second Life viewer, I have been using Firestorm for a long time now and when I heard that the official viewer had fitted mesh, I downloaded it again.

Although you can seperate the IM windows from the tabbed window, its still very messy and nothing at all like it used to be. Remember when IM's would be little boxes to the top right of the screen? and you would just click those and it would bring up the conversation, since downloading the SL viewer recently, its like that feature is gone, am I missing something?

I believe what im referring to are called 'open floaters the chiclets' style IM's

Far as i know that feature no longer exists.

BTW: Mesh was in the official veiwer well before Firestorm. Misread the sentence.

Fitted mesh, not regular mesh. It's a new SL feature newly introduced

 

If it's gone, I'm sticking with FS

[steph Arnott]

Oh that new experimental viewer.

[Bane Bracken]

It's now part of the regular SL Viewer very recently

 

[Bane Bracken]

It's now part of the Official viewer, not just beta anymore

I just read the updates, thanks for the info.

Steph is right.  That style disappeared from the Linden Lab viewer a year ago when they introduced CHUI. If you like the way Firestorm does it, stay with Firestorm.  If you prefer the LL viewer for other features, you'll have to accept the way it handles chat and IMs.

BTW, fitted mesh has been introduced in this latest upgrade of the Linden Lab viewer, but you aren't likely to see much of it on the market until creators learn how to use the feature.  By then, it wil be common across all major viewers.

Ah, didn't mean to post twice. I couldn't see what I posted the first time.

 

No worries, I just hope that Firestorm update their Viewer soon then
