I have fixed some bugs on 1.5 and uploaded a new version.
If you did download from the version history links above then you will need to download again.

Otherwise you can wait for the version to go public and then it will auto-update.

Please make it possible to open games in new tab (both from sidebar and from status bar).

Also, will it be hard to have a pop-up list of games on status bar rightclick? So I can see game numbers and maybe open one of them in the new tab.

Yes I can add a global setting for that, no probs.

So on right click, a concise list of games like the short version of statusbar? Not a problem if so.

It might be the case that this is a very long popup for some people, let me see how it looks.

No one is forcing you to open the pop-up if you have a long list. Or you can add a scroller there (like in windows menus) and show only top 5 games.

I think it is a good idea. I will do both suggestions.

Ok so for the popup list what info do you want aside from game number?

(Doesn't really say much with just the number)

Name of the sitter (or active player right now) after the game number. This way I can see do I need to go to that game and advice on the move or not. Do not want there to be a lot of info - that way people will not use sidebar at all.

Ok so restrict this to just ready turns and add which player it is. Let me see what I can do, almost there.

If anyone is using this on a Mac please let me know, it's not difficult to make this work but I need a tester.

Installed it.

Few comments.
- New tab works great. Thanks.
- Pop-up works.
- Pop-up needs remaining time as well, hard to navigate there without it. Maybe this format:
05:56:23 - Game 25454865 - oldtonboy

- Do not include nickname into the link - it looks bad with underlining and blue color
- When you hover pop-up game - background turns to deep-blue color and it is impossible to read the link anymore (can you override hover color of the background control?). I guess it is WinXP theme problem. Here is the screenshot:

It should be either light background color, same font color or dark background color, lighter font color.

I cannot tell you the exact color because I suck at graphics and my aesthetics perception is below zero :D.

FYI chip, Dako isn't the only one using this :) I agree with everything he's said so far, it's looking great and liking the updates you're doing.

As far as I know, it should work fine on OSX, but I'll try it out tomorrow for you.

PS: I echo jake's above comment, echoing Dako :P

Thanks very much! I have a list of extremely simple tests if you are willing I can PM you.
(Basically it is just testing that left clicking works everywhere).

You won't see it in the sidebar. Right click on the statusbar where the clock is and you'll see another menu.
