Anything that continuously flashes will soon begin to get on your nerves, which is why the old NeoCom buttons would flash a few times to get your attention and then remain lit to show you that something has occurred in that tab. Only channel tabs used to blink continuously but the big difference was that you could individually turn the blinking off on each channel.

I would like to add that the "Ships" context box is closed by default - OPEN IT! I don't want to have to select ships every time I dock FFS.

May just be my client but goddamnerama it's annoying.

Indeed - it is shut every time I dock without fail - no matter what state it was in upon undock.

Have you considered simply double clicking the top bar of your chat window to minimize it down to a single thin bar (that shows the chat channel names and population) at the very bottom of your screen?

This functionality was not removed.

Negative result - "Ships" is still firmly and resolutely closed upon docking. Grrrrrrr.

(no prizes for guessing what this will do!)

yet u need to move the window after double clicking again in order to be able to read anything.

doing this with the window positioned somewhere on the top of the screen might be the way to go tho, but needs
a lot of time for rethinking.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. In the interest of un-hijacking this thread I posted it here:

Ships Window

I've tried number 1 to no avail.

Am extremely reluctant to try the others

The amount of shiznit I will have to reselect boggles my mind...........

EDIT MAJOR STYLE - this did solve the problem but it took a couple of session changes to do so - thanks for your help.

NeoCom

Problems since the change:

1.Inability to monitor the state of the channels (such as local) while minimized.

Possible fixes:

1.Need the option to move channels and channel groups onto the bar.

Regrettable that some of your settings will have died in the fire but awesome that it's now working o/

If we had the functionality I've linked in my sig those burned settings could rise from the ashes.

My items menu does that even if i leave it open upon undocking, though my ships window stays open everytime i undock/dock back up.

This may be working differently for you, but when I double click the top bar on my other chats (grouped together) it drops to the bottom of my screen (all channel names, etc.) are still visible.

When I do this my local window stays in its position on top of the bar (meaning it drops to the bottom of the screen as well).

When I double click again, both windows resume their normal positons on the screen.

This has to do with how your windows are arranged, more specifically what they are "snapped" to. If your chat window has aligned itself with the bottom of the client window by having one of the borders it snapped to be the bottom border, when you double-click the bar on the chat/stack of chats it will collapse to the bottom. Likewise, if say you have two chat windows arranged vertically, with one being snapped to the other and one of them aligned to the bottom of the client window, they'll both collapse to the bottom. Try placing your chat channel windows near the top and not attached to any other windows that are snapped to the bottom, and then collapse the window. You'll see that it works differently.

In other words, this double-click option can function as a workaround to the current lack of old, very convenient functionality, but it is far from user friendly. Seems annoying that a good feature has been removed because apparently it doesn't mesh with the current new and flashy~ NeoCom.

Just posting to confirm I have the same issue

Edit: Tried the cache clearing fix suggested above. No dice.

Wouldn't you... ya know, research your x first?

I've brought this to the attention of the NeoCom team

Yoink!
