Thanks, Menarim.

I don't know if that is your main or just a forum alt, but I sent some isk your way. I was just about to put a fist through my monitor. I really hope it stays this way after logging off and on again.

Don't the chat windows minimize into this chat icon? What happens to that once the icon is gone?

They minimize into a new icon, each chat window into its own if you have multiples. Once you restore them again, the icon dissappears from the neocom, just as it should.

You can no longer find these stacks anywhere. You have to leave a channel from a given stack and rejoin it to make the stack reappear again.

Also, once you've removed that chat icon, you can't put it back. Evil

I like this much better. Sounds like you can have your minimized chat window back with one click.

So you don't get the individual icons for minimized chat windows like Borlag Crendraven seems to have?

When you minimize a chat window and you don't have the chat icon on the neocom, the chat window that you minimized goes directly into the neocom. So reserve some extra space.
It actually works slightly better without the chat icon because if you minimize a group of chat windows, they will be a group of chat windows. For instance I have local as a separate window and I'm also in Corp, Agony, Stimulus, BTL Pub, Red Frog, and Tuskers. When I minimize local I get a group of chats with just local in it, and when I minimize the rest of them, I get a group of chats with the rest of the windows.

removeing the chat channel makes things worse for me!!! :'( How do I add the chat ICON back to the NEOCIM after I removed it?

the multiple minimized windows on the bottom gave me a one looks way to see which window I got replies in :( this is a step backwards

You'll only get an icon in the neocom if it has one of the un-closeable channels in it - Local, Corp, Alliance, Militia or Incursion.

Stacks without those will disappear unless you do the leave/rejoin trick or go find it in ctrl-tab listing.

There's a reason I've asked many times for the ability to toggle the un-closeable behavior that LCAMI channels have on any channel we want. Sad

Ah, that's one thing I couldn't have spotted. Have all corp/alliance related chats in one, local and intel in another so no matter which one I minimized, there'd be a un-closeable.

If you minimized it before removing that button, you can get it back via the ctrl-tab list.
