Mini-Output Window
 
Alright, I wanted a cool little output window that I could make "always on top" and could float in the corner of my screen with reduced font. Possibly show 12 lines of Size 8 Terminal font?

Anyhow, I think this would be cool so I could keep an eye on the output while I surf the web. Could someone show me a script to make this, or make a plugin?

Thanks in advanced.


PS: I have a hot sister who likes guys who code zmud plugins for me.

Save yourself the grief of coding this yourself, click the little pushpin button at the very top of the ZMud application, and don't maximize your web browser window.

The problem with this is that I don't want the input bar or the toolbars, and I want a smaller-than-normal font.

Perhaps there are some commands that could be used to change these parameters?

Is there a way to make all output go to the statuswindow?

Right-click on the toolbar, then click next to Visible. Toolbar gone.
Right-click in the window, then click next to Attached Command Line. Command line gone.
Click Prefs, Fonts, select the Font you prefer. Font changed.

I DON'T recommend making these changes in your main window. Open a second window (#WINDOW two), set it up the way you want it, and capture everything to it (#C+ two). Make it the top zMUD window when you want to just watch, and you've still got the main window, with attached command line, when you want to actually MUD.

No, there's no practical way of using the status window for this.

I have a problem, but maybe this is a 6.34 BETA bug? If I have a normal window with the top bar, I press the little pin and it stays on top. Jolly.

If I remove the caption on top though, it doesn't matter if I had the pin up or down before, it simply won't stay on top. Is this impossible..?

Works the same either way for me. Report it in the beta forum if you want.
