View Full Version : Away Menu?

I am attempting one of the following (doesn't matter which):

- Create a popup window that allows to select a precreated global away message.
- Create a sperate phase in the main window to select a precreated global away message.
- Alter the order of the Trillian menu so that the global aways are more easily accessable.

The problem I have run into (on the first two) is that I do not have any idea what command is used to parse the AwayList in the Events.xml file into a window.

Does anyone know how to do this? (A little coding help would also be appreciated becuase I'm new to skinning for this app...but I think I've deciphered a good deal of it already)

Thanks,
Random Chaos

The "global-status" icontrol is a button-type control that brings up away message options and a list of (pre-created) away messages to choose from. You can't skin the popup from it, but I think it will do what you're looking for.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that worked.

The skin I was using didn't have it included and I hadn't had a chance to find a skin that did...

Now I just have to create a decent icon for it and then figure out why its 1 pixel off...

You're on your own there... mine lines up perfectly.
