How do I hide the buddy list when iChat opens at login?

Can anyone tell me the answer to this question? I just find it annoying
when I have to close the buddy list window when I login. Is there any way
of getting it to be hidden automatically and still remain available
to my buddies? (Not Offline) Thanks Glenn.

Hi Glenn,
IF you hit the red close button the Buddy List window will close but the Application will remain open.
Using the Apple Key + 1 together will bring it back, as will the item in the Window menu of iChat.
IT can be set up by a variation of this FAQ Ralph Johns (UK), "How Do I Use Rendezvous Only In iChat ?", 12:58pm Jan 1, 2005 CDT
I suggest using the Menu bar icon option in the General section of the iChat Preferences to enable further access to your Buddies if the window is closed.

  • How can I hide the thought bubble when typing?

    Very simple, I'd love to know how to hide the bubble with the ellipsis that pops up for others to see when I'm typing. I'm hoping this is an easy question for someone to answer.
    I knew how to do it before, but now not so much.
    Thanks!

    Don't think there's any way of doing it in iChat but maybe some of the add-ons (such as Chax) can do it.

  • How do I hide the address bar when fullscreening "popup" windows?

    Sky TV's video player has a bad fullscreen implementation - you can make the player go true fullscreen but it reverts when it loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.
    The best workaround I've found is to use their "pop-out" player, which opens a new "popup"-style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc.) and I can then fullscreen the window itself (rather than the player). This allows me to hide
    - the window outline
    - the window title bar
    - the Windows start menu
    and it stays fullscreened when it loses focus.
    However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a normal Firefox fullscreened window this slides out of view after a short time; on the locked "popup" style window it does not.
    On the offchance that treating "popup" windows differently is a deliberate Firefox security policy... can I disable it?

    You only need to select the pop-up window after having opened the Browser Console or open the console before opening the pop-up to make that window the MostRecentWindow.

  • HT3069 How can I change the content list when I change residence country?

    I bought an Apple TV in Mexico but came to came to the US to work on a project, so I brought my Apple TV with me. I already changed the credit card to an American one and all the country settings, but it still displays the Mexican list. How can I change the movie content?

    Purchases will be tied to the original account. Your US account will not have access.
    If your Apple TV is not displaying US content make sure the Apple TV location settings are correct. DNS should be on automatic.

  • How do I hide the download form when downloading a file from a website?

    Hi,
    On my website, www.sb-ssa.com, when I select a menu button that downloads a PDF, a Downloads Form appears and then the PDF appears. Is is possible to hide the Downloads Form? Thank you.

    Use the function "File Dialog" and wire your type to "pattern label".
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I hide the recipients' names when I send an email to lots of people?

    I'm going to send a message to a lot of people I know, and I think some of them would rather not have their email addresses showing. How do I hide them?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • How do I change the default page when I open a new tab or window?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    I recently downloaded a piece of software to translate languages. I removed the software, but remnants still appear. It changed my homepages (which I was able to change back). But, when I open a new window or tab, the search page associated with this software comes up.

  • How can I have the last command when I open new ttisql

    Hi
    Is it possible that when I open new ttisql windows I will be able to use all the recent commands from previous ttisql windows ?
    Thanks

    I don't think this is possible. ttIsql only stores the (last 100) commands of the current session. Refer to "Using ttIsql's command history" in the Operations Guide. You could store commands in a history file which would be persistent between ttIsql sessions but it's not a graceful way of achieving what you want.

  • How do I hide the mask layer when exporting as animated GIF ?

    Hi,
    I have designed the following logo for my football team's website.
    It plays fine as a flash file but when I export it as an animated GIF file, it shows the bright pink mask layer. Obviously I don't want it to. Has anybody an idea of how to rectify this problem ?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Peter,
    Success! I finally got my head round it Indeed, I can see now your point about the export method being preferable, it's also much quicker than my old "print PDF" method! Like I say, publishing isn't my area of expertise and I get comfortable and set in my ways with certain ways of doing things, especially with computers!
    Bob,
    Like I was saying to Peter, that makes sense now. I guess my not appreciating the process of PDF creation and thus my incorrect use of the terminology may have confused the issue. With regards the link you sent me, wow it certainly seems I'm not the only one who gets confused! Fortunately it seems my problem is now solved and I have learned to produce a better product!
    Thanks again guys!
    ....now I wonder how I can make my dissertation interactive....

  • How do i hide the tool bar when watching videos?

    when expanding a video to full screen, the tool bar does not "hide" and infact, blocks the progression of the video. in order to fast forward, i have to minimize the video to do so.

    What application are you using to watch the videos, and what version of Mac OS X are you running?

  • How can I hide the master page when saving a pdf?

    I designed a form that uses a master page so that I can use headers and footers without changing 10 different pages.  When I save to PDF so the form can be filled out it saves the Master Page as the first page though it has no content.  I have to save the PDF as a static file because it needs to be filled out on the iPad.
    Anyhelp please?

    Hmm,
    Not really. Acrobat must display at least one page of the form. You can set the presence of all of your Design Pages to hidden, but Acrobat will display at least one instance of the Master Page.
    The Master Page is available in LC Designer for objects that you want to repeat on more than one page. Yes, typically this includes header and footer objects.
    If you want to hide all of your main form pages, then include a blank page and display this when hiding all of the other pages. See an example here: http://assure.ly/frjYW5.
    There is also an example here for displaying/hiding pages on a loop: http://assure.ly/kyMP6l.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I eliminate the "new tab" when I open Firefox to my preset Home Page?

    I have Firefox installed on a desktop and a netbook. On the desktop, when I launch Firefox it takes me to my homepage, and that is the only tab open. On the netbook, it opens to the homepage correctly, but there is also a second, blank tab, carrying the header "New Tab", just as though I had clicked on the "New Tab" icon in the toolbar. Since my homepage is a specialized search engine which opens each result in a new tab of its own, having the blank one already in place is annoying. How do I stop it from opening on launch?

    Make sure that there isn't a pipe symbol appended to the home page setting.

  • How can i change the default module when lr5 opens

    lr5 on my win7 pc opens in the print module.  how do i change this to open in the library module?

    Lightroom re-opens at the same place, i.e. Catalog, Module, file, etc where you were working when you last closed the program. If you wish to have the program open in the Library module then you need to return there before you close/shut down the program.
