Everyone can submit suggestions for the client here! I'll try to manage a list of them. Once the beta has been running a while, i'll also add which suggestions are being developed, which will be considered, etc.

Quote

type in the calculator
Done.


Quote

a QFC box
Done.


Quote

remove the 10 pixels between client and top of screen
Done.


Quote

a notepad
Done.


Quote

multiple tabs in the browser
Will be done.


Quote

Creature of Habit countdown timer
Will be done.


Quote

a customizable quick links section
Will be done.


Quote

an array of timers
Will be done.


Quote

'thin' forum skin for browsing the forums using the client
I'll consider this, but it won't be a priority.


Quote

an image between the game and chatbox to make it look nicer
If i change the small/large things again, this might be done for the large version only.


Quote

rating calculator
If anyone has a formula this can be done.


Quote

different widths, heights, sizes, etc...
Not a priority, but eventually this might be done. The problem is that everyone wants something that fits his/her screen, and there are a lot of different screens out there!


Quote

War of Legends frame
I'll consider this.


Quote

highscores lookup for RuneScape
I'll take a look.


Quote

achievements/ratings for funorb
Although this is a great idea, this requires you to be logged in on FunOrb. Furthermore, this would require the client to do actions which the person using the client did not ask himself (aka going to highscores, looking up someone, etc) - which is forbidden.


Quote

instead of having the chatbox all squishy at the bottom, add it to one of the pages, or on the left.
This would require me to rewrite the complete thing. Not going to do this, sorry.


Quote

a bigger chatbox for a smaller browser window and sidebar.
It's against the RuneScape/FunOrb rules to make the height of the frame smaller than 630px.

That would be great and completely possible, if there was a definite known formula. If you can find a formula though, I'll make it :)
Yes, guys, this is what helps to run OrbMore. Run for the hills. Now.

An idea for something else on page 1 of the sidebar, a QFC box :)

Also, maybe instead of game/browser, have game/funorb/orbmore, so people can play and browse both forums.

on the second page, you can add a little something that record a day and hour. This would be usful for people aiming for Creature of Habit, since they can just go raid at that time and in that day (In the second page cause it has a clock)

A bigger chatbox for a smaller browser window and sidebar. Both RS and FO applets can fit into the window as it is, so as long as that's that then it should be fine to make it smaller. For one the smilies look too small to even make out some of them and it looks squeezed; and with 2 stickies there triple-posting (which isn't all too rare) already seems spammy. :o

Edit: the scroll bar on the chatbox is a bit wonky too; when you scroll you miss out some text between the bottom (pre-scroll) and the top (post-scroll).

Could you add a larger version? My screen in 1600x900, and it's squished looking.

Dynamic sizing - so it resizes to fit whatever sized screen you have would be amazing :P
A link to War of Legends on the Right - I realise it won't fit, but when you're simply checking the progress of 1 build that doesn't bother you too much.
Remove the 10 pixels between client and top of screen - it can be removed! :P
On tab 4/5 - add a textbox where you can add notes (which remain there until you delete them)

Overall though, it is looking impressive and will be useful :)

Well done,

Bskli

Gave some feedback on the suggestions - quite a few great ideas so far, keep them coming!

Also, it's not because i said your suggestion will be used that it'll be in the next version. Depending on the suggestion it might take a while!

A general toolbox would be great. Calculator (never mind, found one!), highscores lookup for RuneScape/possibly achievements/ratings for funorb (might be really hard to do achievements), a customizable quick links section, a timer (forwards is ok, but backwards would be great too...especially if you were notified when it runs out).

Obviously it would take a lot of time to do all of that, but you can add as you go, right? Loving it so far.
