Mindstorm's Storm Front

The 0.68.1 release is a minor update to fix the options dialog size. For some people, the Chat Highlighting options are being cut off at the bottom. I hope this addresses the problem and that it doesn't cause any new ones. If it does, let me know.

To get your old usernames used in highlighting, do the following:

1. In the FireFox address bar type: about:config
2. In the filter area type: swaksmack
3. Look for the following Preference Name: extension.swaksmack.usernamehl1_stringpref
4. Double click on the entry above. This should open up a dialog that contains your old usernames.
5. Select all the username you want to copy and either press Ctrl+C (if on windows) or right click the mouse and select copy.
6. Close the popup by clicking "OK" or "Cancel"

1. Select the username or part of the username to find and then click the "Highlight" action link. Note that you can also use the right click-->SwakSmack-->Find User's Post to perform the same thing, but clicking the Highlight action is probably faster and easier.

2. Any posts that match the selected user name should now be highlighted (provided you have highlighting enabled)

Seen as a move to counter Microsoft's acquisition of Jellyfish.com, A pple has acquired the SwakSmack extension. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but rumor has it a Lisa was involved. :)

satire people, A pple is not affiliated with Apple, Microsoft, or Jellyfish

RC2 Changes
1. Adds "Find User's Posts" feature. Basically this is an extension of the existing Highlight link. The difference is that you can now select a user's name (or portion of it) within a chat post *e.g. @Mindstorm and select "Mindstorm")and when you click Highlight, the extension will find all the usernames that match and highlight those existing posts. Future posts will not be highlighted unless you click Highlight for that user. If no text/username is selected, Highlight works as it did in the past. Feedback, suggestions welcomed as usual.

0.68 RC1 is available for test.

Still a download and drag and drop install.

Changes from RC0
1. Fixed JF employee highlighting when no usernames are in the selected HL option (well hopefully)
2. Fixed theme to not apply theme to the moderator
3. A few internal tweaks

Download

More of a beta than a release candidate, but this release is feature complete for what I want in it.

New Features
3 Configurable Highlighting Choices
Color Themes
Product search on Smack of Shame

I'm not real fond of the way the theme feature is handled in the options, but it will take some time to explore some other UI options. It would also be nice to have the theme saved to an external stylesheet as opposed to me sticking it in the firefox options the way it current does.

Halo3 Color Theme

There's a limit to what I can do, but tis the season to be theme'n.

So what do we do here when you highlight color is a bad match for the chat "info/actions" (e.g. mute, highlight, reply) text color?
