tab-first-box : Place new tabs in first tab box: download .patch file.
This is a source patch for X-Chat 2, and has gone through preliminary testing with X-Chat 2.4.1 sources on Linux.
Note: This patch hasn't been reviewed enough yet to safely claim it doesn't break anything else.
It's more like an ugly patch. :-) Use it at your own risk.
X-Chat 2 (versions upto 2.4.1) doesn't allow the channel/other tabs for one server to be mixed / placed
with tabs for another server. This patch adds an option (see screenshot below) that makes
new tabs to be placed in the first tab box itself.
This is how the tabs bar can look like after the patch is applied:
(note the two #xchat channels: one on Freenode IRC network, another on EFNet.)
It adds an option "Place new tabs in first tab box" to the "Tabs" Preferences Dialog:
1. Download the source .tar.gz from xchat.org and extract it.
2. Download the patch file (link at the top of this page) and place it in the xchat-2.4.1/ directory.
3. Execute the following command to patch the source:
patch -p1 < xchat-2.4.1-tab-first-box.patch
4. Now compile, make and install the application as usual:
./configure
make
make install
(You'll need to use sudo with make install or become root first.
