---further tips---
The script opens the Friends vindow when you turn menues back on.
You can turn on the chat-windows you would like there, they are in the top of the list.
Right-clicking a chat-window name in the friends list gives you the option to "Enable clickthrough".
With that feature on you can click and loot through the chat-window.
with clickthrough enabled you have to press the Alt-key to select text in the chat window.
Under Visual you can also add timestamps to the chat.
It wil display your local time, not GMT/UTC
(or RKST - Rubi-Ka Standard Time as roleplayers call the GMT/UTC timezone)
---advanced tips---
The script automatically removes the chat-window called "Default Window"
If you have more windows you would like to close automatically, add a new line with the names to the following file
-Anarchy Online folder- \Scripts\AOU_mod\AriensGUI\Scripts\MenuOff.aa
eg.
/close "Combat spam"
/close "Private groups"
/close "Tells"
You can add all the chat-windows you have on all your accounts, as the script runs very fast, and it will not give error-messages when trying to close a chat-window that is not there.
It will remember where all your docked chat-windows belong automatically, the order of them will not be lost.
