I never thought about using such a huge resolution (I use an iBook at 1204x768). I'll work on it ;-)

# by xlax999999 on 04/17/06 at 15:59:22one suggestion, add some sort of bullet point that differentiates the line break upon sending the message and the one that occurs when you type something longer than one line, it can get a tad confusing.
# by gce517 on 04/17/06 at 17:14:09Thanks for pointing this out. And yes, I was aware of the potential for confusion there (especially for narrow chat windows). I think I can fix this pretty quickly.
For what it's worth, I was looking at three options when putting this together: 1. Hang indent the time stamp on the left, 2. Place a line on the bottom of each follow-up message, or 3. Put an extra 3-4 pixels spacing at the bottom of each follow-up message. Option 3 is my idea of a quick fix that would not break the main design. Of course, I could make variants to accommodate the other two options. # by xlax999999 on 04/17/06 at 21:24:57I am glad you are thinking of that as well. For what it is worth, I think option three is the most seemless and as you said it keeps with the simplicity. A line at the bottom would be an interesting implementation though. Another idea would be to slightly indent or have a visual cue such as a bullet or some other unicode symbol on the first line of every message, if that is possible. (I like Unicode F847)
