Description Alberto Morales 2007-08-29 18:21:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The screen does not take advantage of the horizontal axis. It would be interesting to be able to choose the wide of one contact. This way, if window is wider, it would show several columns. By example: if the wide of a contact is 250px (good for me), and i maximize in 1024x768 i would see 4 columns. With 18 contacts per column, i would see 72 contacts in full screen, and without scrollbar!. It is odd the way that looks now when you maximize: only 1 column and a scrollbar. And it looks worse when your screen is wide 16:9. Group folders can be showed horizontally, until you fill all rows, or no more people is left in group.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
