				1. I cannot grab any part of the chat window for resizing except for the lower righthand corner.  This is strange.  If I grab the left or right side of the server list for resizing, I can drag, but nothing changes.  If I grab the line between the chat window and the server window, instead of the line moving as expected, the server list simply gets longer or shorter.  The only drag/resize operation that works correctly is dragging the bottom of the server list.  There is *NO* way to resize the whole Vortex window by dragging an edge.  Note: Kali implements multiple panes in one window correctly.  Look at Kali for an example.
 
 
2. This is related to #1 a little bit.  For some reason the server list has a title bar that makes it look as if it's a separate window from the chat area.  Yet if I drag the title bar, the server list just snaps back into place.
 
 
3. Whenever the server list refreshes, it scrolls back to the server I have selected.  This is very annoying especially if I scrolled up in order to select a new server.
 
 
 
 
 
4. I really love the game list relay.  Would it be possible to make a program that does the relay but does not have all the other features? (chat/game list/etc)  I'd love to be able to install it as a service.
 
 
5. If I maximize the Vortex window, I can still resize it by grabbing the lower right corner of the chat area.
 
 
6. When I maximize the Vortex window, the "Maximize" button doesn't change into a "Restore" button.
 
 
7. It would be great if I could disable automatic refreshing of the server list and click a button to refresh it manually.
 
 
8. Same as #7 except for refreshing the info of the servers on the server list.  Also it would be great if single-clicking on a server refreshed that server's info (like Kquery)
 
 
9. The "Connect" button is ambiguous.  What am I connecting to?  Maybe it should be called "Chat" instead.

				the lower right corner is enough for resizing the whole window. 
 
 
rightclick the server list - options - stick to chatwindow frees the list from the chatwindow.

				Thank you for your feedback, i really appreciate it.
 
I'll try to consider some of your proposals.
 
 
1. i dont have kali 
 
   u can place and resize every window separately (just unstick them)
 
   the main window isnt a default windows form - (i was only able to make one corner work yet)
 
   this was once a request by you to make it as small as possible
 
2. it IS a seperate window
 
3. this was requested by a user
 
4. just open vortex and minimize it
 
5. sure - that's linux behavior not windows
 
6. who cares
 
7. please post feature request in the "Feature request" thread where it belongs
 
8. same like 7
 
9. i dont know your irc-client but the most ones i know (mirc, ksirc, x-chat) always title it connect
 
    its mainly an irc application - so what do you expect on pushing an connect button else than to connect to an irc-server?
