Few nasty things

[RoLex 1]

I have few things that you might like adding to/changing in ApexDC++;

1. Adding queue size in status bar, along share size. (fulDC feature)

2. Timer command. You simply type something like "/timer 35:0 Time to go to work", after 35 minutes a small windows pops-up together with the message you wrote. "/untimer" could be used to reset it. (fulDC feature)

I've submitted a patch for this feature to Big Muscle once, but he does not seems to like it much (or forgot).

3. Changing entire application fonts to Tahoma. I don't mean the chat or userlist fonts, but component/forms fonts. Search frame, public hubs frame for example, they are still using MS Sans, which is the ugliest font I've ever seen (even more ugly with ClearType enabled). =)

4. Centering settings window on open. On computers with high resolution you have to manually move the window to the middle every time, it's not that comfortable having it in top-left corner while working with it. Same thing with indexing progress window maybe?

That's all for me. Thank you.

And what does this have to do with my feature request?

1) Seems like a realist idea, if there's room in the status bar and it;s fairly easy to implement then I'd like to see it...

2) Nice idea, but I'd rather see it in another/external application. With something like that you want more options, such as repeatitive timers etc.

3) Personally I like Verdana.

True, we'd be able to take ASCII art from other places. However, we use the same font as all other clients use my default. Unfortunatly if we change it will mean existing ASCII art will no longer work with ApexDC++, and if changed (which takes a lot of time) will not work with other clients. Also, fixed width fonts generally take up more screen space, which is arguably a wastage.

And what does this have to do with my feature request?

Heh, indeed.
