Description

Problem is when you go to resize the windows width. The chat window will shrink but the other areas, like who you are talking to "jump to chat" section remains the same size.

Potential fixes:

  • Make Jump to chat section collapsible
  • Make all areas change size instead of just one
  • make a tabbed chat system so the window can shrink or grow as the user needs.
  • having a window view that only displays the chat and side bar
