Introduction to Oikos Version 2 - Part Three - Chat

January 1st, 2008 · No Comments

As we said in the previous post, we hid the chat feature in the footer so it wouldn’t take up screen space when it wasn’t being used.

When you click the far left-hand part of the footer, it opens a list of all your friends. When you click one of the names from the list, a chat window pops up. You can move the chat window around the screen and you can resize it if you want.

When you compare Oikos V1 and V2 friends lists, you see that the layout for V2 is simpler and uses less screen space. You can still view the status of your friends, and you can check for messages that people have sent while you were off-line. If someone who is not already your friend sends you a message, you can make them your friend with a single click.

In the new version of Oikos, you can have multiple chat windows open on your screen.

And finally, if you’re in the middle of doing something else in Oikos, and you don’t have any chat windows open, V2 will pop up a little notifier in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen to let you know when someone has sent you a message. Just click on the notifier and the chat window will open.
