Re: chatting in individual windows: “We hear your feedback!” Really? Did you actually try to use this new feature, or just check it off a feature list because it’s *technically* possible to have individual windows now? Not sure if you noticed the 8000 comments about this when Skype 5 came out YEARS ago, but I think what people are actually asking for is simply the Skype 2.8 chat user flow back.

In order to try to achieve that now with Skype 6, I would start with the (very nicely compact yet featureless) “Contacts Monitor”, double click a user I want to chat with, which opens up the BIG chat window, then double click them in the left bar AGAIN to open up their individual chat window. See how that doesn’t quite make sense? Also Skype for Mac users have had to dig around the internet to get SkypeChatStyle files with reasonable margin sizes, and with Skype 6 they aren’t compatible any longer, so I’m back to only being able to see 4-5 lines of chat when i set a nice and small window size. So here is my constructive feedback: 1) Download and open pretty much *any* chat client in the world, even ICQ circa 1996, or even skype before v5, and make it so we can use that workflow again. It’s simple: a compact contact status list that shows when a message is waiting from a user, and double click that contact to open up a compact chat window for just that user. 2a) Lots of people use Skype, the important thing is they use it for communication and productivity while they do *other* things, with lots of switching between windows.

Browser to skype and back.) This means size does matter we want it small, not full-screeny. (Don’t even get me started about the skype for windows 8 screenshots on the verge.) Yes, we know whitespace is the new black, but please tone it down and/or let us control how big this tool has to be. Just one example: There is seriously a *90 pixel* whitespace gap between the right edge where the message starts to wrap and the timestamp. So check this out: Sign into your gmail or gdocs account, and notice how they have a setting under their cog icon that allows the user to choose their display density of “Comfortable”, “Cozy”, and “Compact.” Just add this feature, and you’ll instantly improve the happiness of millions of skype for mac users. 2b) Make it one step better by allowing people to choose if they want to display things like contact icons on message windows, etc. I do not need to see the person’s face on the top of the window AND to the left of every one of their messages. In fact I’d prefer neither.
