Add a contact slider to messenger to resize our contacts on the fly

Submitted by .Chris on March 6, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Icons, Usability

Why must we use a ugly old dialog box thats really dated just to resize the contacts? Let alone the old fashond way, of clicking radio buttons, clicking apply and clicking ok, just to see changes? Introduce a slider, much like the ones found in the vista/7 explorer. Just click and drag to resize the contact lists.

Best thing is, everything will happen LIVE and no need to click a bunch of buttons.

Few sugestive modes:

- Business/pro mode: Same as classic mode

I don't know why you did it this, way but make the next verson like this,

Unless I find myself resizing icons all the time, I would like to see that, but I don't. This would clutter up the UI instead. -1

I think that I'll not resize icons all the time too, but I like the idea =)
