Through the years in EVE (most) players gather alot of channels they want and/or need to be in. Channels for Alliance, Corp, logi, intel, recruitment, channels with old friends, leadership channels and so on.
Currently these 'channeltabs' are sorted horizontally. One of the downsides of this system is that the total width of the 'chatbox' is determined by the number of channels and to some extent by the length of the channelname. With a big number of channels next to each other this usually means the chatbox get's so wide it would fill up an unwanted amount of your screen. This forces you to create multiple chatboxes to keep some sort of overview on your channels; once again taking up alot of space.
So my idea is pretty simple; sort these channel tabs vertically. This would look something like this (thnx HerrBert ):
Vertical Channel Tab example
This shows the general idea. This way it's possible to view alot more channels in a relatively small amount of space. Also it is not as depending of the amount of channels nor the channelname, because adding a channel adds a tab with a fixed height which is very short .
If possible this could be introduced to EVE as an option so people can choose to sort these channel tabs horizontally or vertically, depending on preference.

Anything that can save space is worth considering. Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end. |

Just tipping the tabs to the side as they are might help, a bit broader of course for e bit more text. Are you sure your issues aren't elsewhere ?! |

Nice idea. I hate having so many channels up at times that I can't even see them all. Plus there is not a good horizontal scroll on the current UI. |

As an additional tweak, I would want to be able to slide how much of the channel name is visible, down to even a single letter. |

As long as the Chat tab column has a fixed width so that no one can do this with a chat tab name, I am fine with it.

I'm assuming here the channel-list box is scrollable? Maybe with the option to get flashy channel names at the top of the list? |

Adding a feature similar to broadcasts like "move to top" could be nice, although it would mean the sequence of your channels would change alot which might get confusing.

I suggested the same thing three years in a row to CSM candidates. Hoping this thread will get more luck. I really hope this will be implemented! Maybe make some channels groupable so it takes even less space. +1 |

Great Idea, this should have been done years ago, the channels layout is the messiest part of the UI by far |

I wish this or something similar to happen soon. 6 chat boxes up to keep an eye on channels is at least 3 too many, but any fewer and I can't read channel names. +1

What also could be a nice addition to flashing tabs is the option to add a colour depending on the importance of the channel. So for example a chatchannel flashes green, while and intel flashes red .
