<ul></ul><p>I would very much like to implement this. It looks like it will be pretty non-trivial to do, and require basically indenting the main text a suitable amount then drawing the timestamps and nicks in the gap at the appropriate place.<br />
It has the potential to get pretty complex to handle resizing the columns appropriately, and line overflows in the main chat.</p> Smuxi - Feature #219: Option to Left-Align nick name in chat-window to eliminate craghttps://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/219?journal_id=6802010-02-11T11:28:34+01:00Mirco Bauer

<p>I don't think thats the right thing to do as Smuxi allows to use non-monospace fonts too. TextView has support for columns somehow, but I have no idea how to make use of them.</p> Smuxi - Feature #219: Option to Left-Align nick name in chat-window to eliminate craghttps://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/219?journal_id=6812010-02-11T11:28:45+01:00Mirco Bauer

<ul></ul><p>Hi,<br />
This is the only one feature i am missing on smuxi. This makes chat window much more cleaner and readable. Please prioritize this feature.</p> Smuxi - Feature #219: Option to Left-Align nick name in chat-window to eliminate craghttps://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/219?journal_id=19212013-05-13T20:10:13+02:00omeringen .

<p>The screenshot link you provided is not working anymore. Weechat also has this feature, <a class="external" href="http://weechat.org/screenshots/">http://weechat.org/screenshots/</a></p> Smuxi - Feature #219: Option to Left-Align nick name in chat-window to eliminate craghttps://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/219?journal_id=19432013-05-19T20:20:27+02:00Mirco Bauer

<ul></ul><p>I have plans to move away from a Gtk.TextView to a HTML rendering engine to render Smuxi messages. In HTML/CSS this is trivial but with Gtk.TextView, even by reading the C implementation of it, I wasn't able to figure out how you can tab or column align text in a stable way.</p> Smuxi - Feature #219: Option to Left-Align nick name in chat-window to eliminate craghttps://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/219?journal_id=29732017-05-02T09:06:33+02:00Mirco Bauer
<ul></ul><p>So once Smuxi uses a HTML renderer this feature becomes feasible. The redmine issue to move to a HTML renderer is covered in <a href="https://projects.qnetp.net/issues/show/1045" class="issue" title="HTML Renderer for Messages (New)">#1045</a>.</p>
