Contact list sorting and spacing!

[the_ZeuS]

Hi all.

First of all congratulations on this project.  What I've seen so far is very well done.

Now a few suggestions.  Could the option be available to sort the contact list by group and status? So in the groups the online contacts are bunched up together.

Another interesting option (Trillian has it if i remeber) is to hide offline contacts.

Finally, maybe less vertical spacing between the contacts in the list.  I tried to install the plugin winskin but it didn't change much there.

Thanks

My bad. I just realised that this is already happening.
Sorry, need more coffee!

1) As you realize it yourself, it's already available (Display - Display contacts in hybrid mode).

2) Also available, it depends on the Display mode you chose for your Contact List :
   - By status : They're grouped by status, so you can close "Offline group"
   - By groups : They're grouped with the groups you defined, so the offline people are display.
   - Hybrid : They're first grouped by your groups, then by status with an "offline group" you can close.

3) Depends on tastes of everyone, on the version of aMSN you're using (0.96 or SVN), and on the skin...
If you want no space between contacts, use latest SVN and Default skin

3 ) or go to the preferences window, advanced tab and enable the checkbox "no space between groups"
