Chax 1.4 - iChat now has tabs

While it's true iChat doesn't support multiple chatting accounts, with any Jabber server with other services running on them , you can be chatting with your AIM, MSN, ICQ and Yahoo friends within minutes.

Check out www.ijabber.com to see what I mean. I have 1 iChat window, with 3 servies connected and it's awesome.

LOL, they block out John's last name in the tabs, but don't block it out in the chat, thus, his full name is John ***!

Does anyone know how to increase the text entry box in iChat? I used to use something called iChat Enhancer, but can no longer find it online (I'm on a new Mac, so I don't already have it installed). If I can figure this one thing out I will be a happy man.

I'd been using Chax since the previous version, and really enjoy this update.

I wall all excited when I read that Chax now supports tabs in iChat, so I downloaded the newest version immediately. So, I tried it for a bout 15 minutes, and didn't like it.

So, now I'm back to Adium. I just like Adium's small footprint and its ability for complete customization. I guess I'll have to wait till OSX 10.5 to give iChat another chance.

I tried it, and the tabs are cool, but it's not enough to have me switch back from Adium.

Yes, I can adjust the font and font size with Chax, but it doesn't make the box or the space between names any smaller. With Adium, I have full control and it's in the foreground at all times, but It doesn't take up valuable real estate.
iChat doesn't allow multiple accounts to be signed on at once.
Sure, iChat allows spoken text when a buddy goes online, IMs you, etc., but you have to manually program each one, whereas Adium can do all of them at once.

I really do want to use iChat again, but I am comfortable with Adium for right now. Sure it sucks with file sharing, but apparently they're working on it.

Fishes,
narco.

There's no gurantee that I will switch back to iChat from Adium, but it's possible. I'm using the tabs now in iChat and I'm enjoying it.

And it might be nice to use something else for a change.

I have always been a hug supporter of this application. I never donate but one day I was so please with the developer emaiol communications with me I send him everything I had in my PayPal account. Good job Kent!

Its awesome I've been using the tabs for about a week when I found out the beta ver that had the tabs feature.

#6: Have you run Software Update and made sure you're up to date? There have been a number of software releases specific to Airport and wireless stability, especially with 3rd party devices and routers.

Also, if you can get to it, double-check to make sure your card is seated properly. A friend of mine just found out that both her RAM and Airport card in an older-school PowerBook were getting unseated, leading to all sorts of headaches.
