Version: 4.1.87 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources for a long time Kopete has been lacking in this enhancement. Pidgin has offered this for a long time. I always love having my chat window tabs on the left side of the chat window. I would like to see these options added to kopete for having the chat window tabs on either the Left or Right side of the Chat window in addition to the current options of Top and Bottom of Chat Window.
Created attachment 36876 [details] Adds option for Left and Right tab placement to kopete This patch should add left and right to the tab placement menu, and clicking them has the desired effect. I think this also solves #143835. Note, this is my first ever patch to any project, and even though it consists of only a few lines' change, it is probably worth sanity checking it. If I have done something wrong in there or in the submission process and someone emails me feedback I would be very grateful. Thanks.
I forgot to say, I was working from the 4.2 stable relese, although I don't think the part of the file which needs to be changed has changed since then.
Sorry, I just noticed that this patch will cause a minor bug, if you reorder the tabs while in side mode they will shrink to a small size. More reading for me. Sorry again.
I'll commit it anyways, and if you want to fix the resize bug, then just post another patch, either in a new bug or on the reviewboard.
