IChat window min width

Hi
i just upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2, i noticed that the iChat's chat window
has a minimum width of 384 pixels (that is too large for me)
i cannot resize below that, on 10.5.8 i didn't notice any resize problems with iChat
has anyone noticed the same issue?
Thanks

Hi,
It is only in threads like this that I tend to check out details like this.
Like you though I am sure at one point I could narrow (as well as shorten) the Text Chat window to a point narrower than I can now in either Boot.
This maybe because a later update to iChat 4.x changed it towards what seems to be the standard in iChat 5.
I am surprised though that you can get 8 more characters that I can (Or I can narrow it by 8 more).
I have MacBook Pro 15" and I wonder if there is a screen width percentage thing going on.
The window placement and sizes are kept in com.apple.ichat.plist but deleting this can be quite destructive in that all settings need to be reset.

Min-width for non-main-window

Yet another case where the developer's stupid idea of implementing a minimum window width causes a problem...
My work involves opening many separate browser windows, resizing them (sometimes quite small) and tiling them all over. This wasn't a problem (aside from firefox's well known and never-to-be-fixed massive memory leaks) until our IT decided to update to version 33 today (not certain what version we had previously but it was prior to the min-width fiasco was added). Now I can no longer make my many windows as small as they need to be.
I've found the userChrome.css "fix" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980033
This DOES work for the main window only, but does not allow for the resizing of my secondary windows. I don't know what kind of windows they are, the system we use has a button to press which detaches new windows for each product we must watch. They're popup windows of some kind, they have address bars, but nothing else that comes with the main window (e.g. search bar, home/stop/refresh/ect. buttons).
Is there a userChrome.css command I can use that will allow these popup windows to break firefox's stupid min-width setting like the main window? I've tried duplicating the main-window command substituting #window #new-window #popup-window and a few others all to no avail.

You can use the DOM Inspector to check what CSS rules are active in the pop-up window and use the !important flag to override the min-width with a lower value.

Why does one CSS min-width work and the other does not?

In order to deal with different browser/screen widths, I put a min-width on both the light-colored box that contains the images and article text on my Web pages and also on the text itself. When I test this in Firefox, IE8 and Chrome, only the container box shrinks. The article text area width does not narrow when I shrink the browser window. Any tips?

Min-Width in Filter Pane Item

Hi All
I have a scenario where I have to display data in a Report using the BEX Web Application Designer (BI AddOn 7.X – based on 7.3).
In the WAD I have used filter pane items. When I preview the WAD Template and filter the data with characters which are lower than the width of the Filter pane I got this.
But it is important that the filters have all time the same width during the navigation.
Things That I have tried :
Fix values in the Web Template Parameter
Min-Width definition in the css
Thanks for your feedback.

IChat Windows Does Not Open

Hey all!
Well, so I've got an issue with iChat. You see, once I click on iChat, the iChat menu on the top bar appears, but the iChat window does not show up, ever..
..Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Do you mean the Buddy List ?
If no windows show up go the the Window menu of iChat and use the Keystrokes or select the item there.
It is possible to hide the Buddy List by using the Red Button and iChat will remember this next time you open the app.

CSS Problem - Background repeat & Max/Min Width

I have the problem at lower resolutions that the content div sticks out of the main document.
Or in fact, the content isnt sticking out, its the background repeat that is in the right of the screen thats pushed into the doc.
And also the background repeat isnt always repeating till bottom. It doesnt matter how big a negative margin is.
How can i let the background repeat right stick to the end of the document instead of the width of screen?
How can i let the repeat continue so it goeas all the way down?

I think you're going about this the wrong way. When you float content, it is removed from the normal flow. That's why your floated right background doesn't reach page bottom.
Look at this DEMO of a centered liquid layout page.View source in browser.
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS2-Liquid-Page.shtml
Using my demo as an example, you could place a repeating, solid light-green image in the body to give the page its borders. Add another repeating background to the #wrapper division.
Add a 3rd background image or light color to the #content division.
Use floats for sidebar content only.
Hope this helps.

IChat window dragging problem

Did anyone noticed that you cannot drag an iChat window by its upper right corner? The last 1/4" is dead for me, you try to grab the window from there and it just slips. Everywhere else you can grab it normally. I don't have this problem with any other window in any other application.
It's not a big deal but I was just wondering if I am alone and why so?

An Ahh Ha! Moment.
On most other apps that space is for the white/grey/non coloured oblong button that can reveal/hide the toolbar.
See it at the top of Safari or Firefox ?
iChat does not have this on Any window.
It makes it a pain when the Preferences decide to lose their Toolbar of iCons for the different panes as then the only way to get them back is delete the com.apple.ichat.plist
I would guess this is "Dead Space" for the missing button.
(Of course I cant' find another apps to test this theory out right now).

Ichat window in time machine switches to finder window

Try to open iChat window, version 4.0.8. in Time Machine. The TM window changes to a finder window. Is this normal for an application like TM? Trying to get back an open chat. not recorded. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Time Machine is a backup file storage and retrieval system, hence the reason you end up in Finder (file system) when you select a prior date.
I think you'd have a better chance of retrieving a recent chat link directly from iChat, File, Recent Items as shown below.
I'm on iChat 5.0.3 (OS X Snow Leopard 10.6), so your screen might look different, but as I recall the same option exists in the Leopard version. (Full chat names are intentionally obscured for confidentiality, so only E's appear in this screen capture.)

IChat window always showing I'm Offline.

My status is always showing Offine, even after I change it. My buddies can see my status change and contact me, but I'm unable to contact them because my iChat window always thinks I'm offline and won't show me my buddie list.
I have deleted all the iChat preferences....no luck. Not sure what else to try.

Ok,
When you Add a Buddy it is normal to enter in the First Name, Last Name details.
This adds them to the Address Book.
In Leopard and Snow Leopard iChat did not tell you that there was an Error if you tried to Add someone that was already in the Address Book (It just did not add them to the Buddy List, Offline or otherwise)
You don't seem to be add new people which makes me think you do not have Permissions to Write (Save) to the Address Book.
This may also be true of the /plist that holds the Status Settings
I would go to your Home Folder and highlight the Library Folder there.
Then use the File Menu > Get Info (Or the Keystrokes) to see the Info panel.
The Last section is on Permissions and Ownership
It should list your account name and Me in Brackets (me)
Then that entry should have Read and Write Access.
If that Folder is OK check the Preferences Folder inside that.

MSN & Googletalk in the same iChat window

Hi
I have Googletalk set up through iChat. I also have MSN accessed through jabber (PSI - jaim.at). Unfortunately it appears I can only log into one account at a time in iChat - I would like to be able to see both MSN & Googletalk buddies & availability in the one iChat window.
Is this possible (and if so how)?
I assume I need to add another transport type to my MSN jabber account - but I don't know what to use!
Any help appreciated - thanks

IChat window moves

This is a minor annoyance but still bugging me... I keep my iChat windows in a certain part of my screen, which has always worked fine: new message pops up in the corner, and that's where I do my chatting. However, since upgrading to Lion, it insists on moving the new windows to a different location.
Movie example here: http://fishbucket.com/movies/ichat-window-moves.mov
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

Hi,
I can explain this in terms of Leopard and Snow Leopard which may explain some of this.
With Incoming Invites these windows always pop up in prescribed places.
Text Chats, as you say is Top Right
Audio ones are fraction below this
Video Chat Invite are always Top Centre.
With all the Chats, the actual window for the chat will tend to Stay in that place.
Outgoing ones are different.
Double Clicking a Buddy to launch a Text chat will move the window to where the Last outgoing Chat Window was.
This may be different if you had two or three different text Chat going on and only one was an outgoing one.
The same applies to Audio Only and Video Chat Windows.
Now for Chat on computers that have the Camera at the top of the screen it makes some sense as then your eye line is at least somewhat directed towards the camera
The behaviour may be different in Lion, as in different places.
However they may have finally linked all Chat Windows to be remembered as to Last positions and to that end iChat has somewhat "Learnt" since you first started using iChat 6.
You may find that these may move when you close the app with a window still open that is in a different place to where you normally have it.
You may have enough info now to prove or disprove this or at least test what it will do.

I start iChat, the iChat bar appears atop the screen BUT no iChat window??

Greetings!
Just started to occur... i am sure I am forgetting something. BUT, still no iChat opening window on the screen.
Any quick. obvious remedy??
Thanks!
- Roger T

Same attempt here, last night.
I had not messed with iChat or with chatting in general to begin with.
My MBP/iChat >>> Windows Visa machine/AIM (NOT the Pro version I assume). Seems that we were soon enough able to IM between the two machines, but video/no audio took a while longer: and even then rather uncertain. We briefly got video between the two machines ONCE (I have no idea if we did something different though), and the rest of the time had "buddy authentification" issues. Seems that the two machines were acknowledging one another easily enough in the meantine.
i have checked around about iChat and learn somewhere that file sharing should be suspended while doing video/audio chatting.
But, in the end, what caught my attention is the following link:
http://robrohan.com/2007/11/30/trying-to-video-chat-between-mac-and-windows/
Seems explanatory enough. I have and use skype. I'll hae to have by Windows/Vista buddy install it and then we;ll try again!

Min-width in Firefox with no content

I am having a strange problem where IE7 is working the way I
think it
should, and FF2 isn't.
I have a couple of spans next to each other, the first one is
floated
left with a min-width of 20px, and can have varying content,
as its from
a recordset, but when it doesn't, I want it to be 20px.
My second span goes next to it, and I want it to start at the
same
position. If the contents of the first span is bigger than
20px I want
it to be allowed to grow to 90px, so I set a max-width for
it.
Since this is for an internal phone list fed from active
directory, its
not available to show you, but here is the part that loops:

<%=(rsContactsList.Fields.Item("Extension").Value)%><a
href="mailto:<%=(rsContactsList.Fields.Item("Email").Value)%>"><%=(rsContactsList.Fields. Item("First
Name").Value)%> <%=(rsContactsList.Fields.Item("Last
Name").Value)%></a> -
<%=(rsContactsList.Fields.Item("Title").Value)%>
And my CSS:
.wrapper .outer {
margin: 0px;
padding: 2px 0px 0px;
float: left;
width: 375px;
.outer p {
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px 0px 0px 5px;
font-weight: bold;
.wrapper .outer .innerleft {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
float: left;
min-width: 20px;
max-width: 90px;
.wrapper .outer .innerright {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
width: 340px;
I am attempting to create a table like structure without
tables... god
knows why!
Whats confusing me most is that IE7 is observing the
min-width whether
there is content or not, but FF2 only does it when there is
content, I
checked by making the min-width larger.
Am I missing something? Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve

As always, as soon as I post the question my brain kicks in
and a
solution appears.
I changed my SQL View so that if the field was empty, to use
like
this, a great use of CASE:
CASE WHEN IPPhone IS NULL THEN ' ' ELSE IPPhone END
AS Extension
Job done!

Any way to keep iChat window in front?

I was wondering if there is a setting that can be used that would keep the iChat window in front, rather than let other opening windows cover parts of it.

Hi,
What setting does your daughter use to do this with then ?
