Agree. Forcing us to hide information that we have painstakingly set up to have available on screen at all times is a loss of functionality. Reverse this change or set up a toggle on/off for tabs, please.
You don't have to keep the tab windows together. You can pull the tabs out and have individual windows.
I love my tabbed chat windows. If you do not like them, shrink your text, use Gina, or get a custom UI. Stop complaining about something with little to no overall impact.
Little impact to you maybe but in truth they have had a major impact on a number of people. They do a log search every time new text is added so every time you attack etc they search the log and then cause the window to flash. this has lead to a lot of extra and unneeded Lag. and can be very noticeable on raid events.
My only issue is that when I receive a tell now, a new window pops up with the tell. It is distracting. I am sure there is an easy fix for this that I have just been to lazy to do, but for now I am going to be grumpy old man and complain...
Options, General Tab, uncheck "Use Tell Windows". This was probably unchecked for you before, but the new windows seemed to have checked this for everyone. Edit: This setting also seems to be per character, and not account. So you'll need to change this for each person on that account that you don't want tell windows for.
You can disable the tab blinks if you do not like them. No idea if reduces lag - but I do not have any lag issues.
There is definitely more lag since new chat windows were introduced. I have disabled what I could. Personally, I would like to get rid of them entirely.
Since getting the new chat tabs, I have more confidence, whiter teeth, and girls seem more attractive to me. I've not noticed any lag.
What do you mean when you say they search the log? Where are you getting this from? Chat windows do not search the log since they work the same whether log is on or off.
