fb-mac-messenger's Issues

Suggestion: Ability to Mute/Delete/Leave Chats

Original Facebook messages has the ability to select a dropdown menu, in the chat settings, that allows the user to mute/delete/leave chats. This would need to stop desktop notifications as well.

Ability to resize contact list

Probably could be a limitation on the messenger.com interface, but it will be nice the possibility to resize the contact list.

Add notifications

Hey there,

great idea. I had facebook connected in my messenger app but it doesn't support group messages so this is great. The only thing I would love to have is system notifications.

Cheers

Message typing box broken after Dragging file onto window. 10.10

Whenever you type a message and send it,

and then drag a file into the chat box (like a photo and this doesn't work) and then try to type another message,

it doesn't recognize a message is being typed. Pressing enter just expands the text box, does not send the message.

Alert sound on a new message

I get an alert sound on typing a new message. Only on the first letter and on every new message.

Custom CSS

Hey,

I hate the way helvetica neue looks on messenger and I'd love to have some kind of custom CSS injection capabilities (or just a preference somewhere to change it to San Francisco). I know this is kind of a weird feature to have, so I'm willing to implement it myself, if anyone can point me where I should start, because I have no idea where should I hook in to do that.

Turn the whole message thread into a click-area for input focus

The better chat clients out there behave in a way where a click somewhere onto the message thread will focus the input so you can easily add a reply (most likely the primary action apart from reading/scrolling).

Image upload button broken in 10.9

The image upload button is there. However, clicking it does nothing.

Relevant: #3

Shows a "keep the conversation going" banner

(actually is the same on messenger.com, so I don't know if it's fixable.

After "Reload app from server" header bar disappears

Before:

After:

Close app window with CMD+SHIFT+W

Would be awesome if we could use CMD+SHIFT+W to close the window app. Other keyboard shortcuts are also welcome ;)

Thanks!

No icon app in notification center

Titlebar not correctly shown in full screen mode

When maximized the title bar is partially hidden under the menubar. This makes unmaximize pretty hard.

Window buttons bug

When you hover the cursor on the window bar to interact with the app window, buttons appear on the settings icon...

Desktop notification setting not persistent

Reopening the app resets the desktop notifications setting to off

Make entire header bar area "grabbable" to move the window

The window seems to be draggable if clicked in the top ~20px of the header bar, but it would be nice if you could click to drag anywhere in the header bar. Ie. everything above the horizontal grey line (well, except for the blue buttons)

Drag to attach file

I really miss the ability to drag a file to the input area to attach it.
I use feature this a lot in Goofy, the client I currently use.

reload webview on connection change

Just retry a connection when the connection is available.

OS X 10.9 support

Why does this require OS X 10.10?
is it possible to support 10.9?

Question: why am I in India?

Hello,

First, thank you for working on this, this was verrrry expected!

I have a remark to make: once logged in, Facebook identifies the connection from Chennai, India (5.175.83.20).
Any reason for this? It doesn't feel safe.

Thanks,

Suggestion: Submit to brew cask

UI problem with preferences

In the 0.0.5 Version you have a little UI Problem on the left-top-corner. At current state of the app, you can't click the preferences icon.

....

It doesn't work on my macbook

System ver: OS X 10.10.3，i put it into my Application directory, but when i opened it, it didn't show anything on the window.

'Presentation Mode' no longer supported?

I just upgraded to the newest build 0.0.4.

Is there a reason for removing Presentation Mode? The presentation mode button was replaced with just a maximize button.

Mac Messages Extension / Bridge instated

Hello,

I don't mean to be impolite or anything else, and this desktop version of the messenger website is cool, it really solved the problem of having browser windows open and stuff... However...

Why not concentrating efforts in asking facebook to make their Jabber implementation support Mac Messages in a decent way, I mean being able to send and receive images and files... or even better... ask facebook to cooperate with Apple to make it work out of the box.

Other solution I could see what to develop a plugin / extension / bridge app for Mac Messages that worked as a compatibility layer between the App and the facebook service...

Keep up the good work ;)

two factor auth support

I could not logged in Facebook on this app because (maybe) I enabled 2 factor auth.

After I entered email and password, error message (image above) was shown.
I clicked the link and signed in on browser but nothing happened.

Is there any way to log in?
Or please support logging in with 2FA.

Cannot sign in, getting error 'Please try again later.'

When I sign in, I get the error message Please try again later.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it just brings me back to that same screen.

Add Retina Icons

Window Buttons Obfuscated

The close, minimize and zoom buttons are obfuscated by the settings gear.

Truncated contacts sidebar

Goofy's feature, might be a nice enhancement?

Dockable Windows

Instead of using the full www.messenger.com interface straight away, it might be an idea to use INDockableWindow (https://github.com/indragiek/INDockableWindow) and parse the website into two separate, dockable windows.

Thoughts?

Add min-width property

Add a property of minimum width of the window. Right now I can make window like on the screenshot.
And also this settings button and Mac buttons together don't feel good.

Title bar and full screen mode.

I noticed that both the buttons and full screen mode with disabled intentionally. I changed it so they are on in my build, this allows me to treat messenger just like iMessages. I can have them both in full screen mode and swipe between them. Due to the similar UI, it feel natural.

Mac "Alert" sound played after chat select

Hello.

I found a small annoyance that occurs after selecting a chat and the user begins typing. I believe, because the left pane is not a text field, Mac issues the "alert" sound, before the window switches to the text field. Note that, the input IS captured, but the sound is still played.

This also happens sometimes when I CMD-Tab back to the Messenger window, but the below steps are the one of the reliable ways to reproduce the problem.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select a new chat on the left side panel with your mouse
2. Begin typing (without explicitly clicking the text field)
3. OS X makes the "Alert" sound as defined under System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects

Expected results:
OS X should not play the "Alert" sound

Dropping a file onto the app changes the contents

Not retina optimized

the page is not rendering properly on retina devices

Ability to refresh

I've found that sometimes messenger.com gets into a weird state where pressing return doesn't send messages, it adds line breaks. The only way I've found to fix this is to refresh the page, which isn't possible in Messenger 0.0.4 without quitting and restarting the app.

Image upload button broken

Expected behaviour is the standard upload dialog to pop-up. Seems to be broken in the current version.

settings cog location

Hey guys,

Great tool, its super useful for me, allowing me to chat with a sleek imessage-esque look without the distractions of the fb timeline/notifications.

One thing is the placement of the settings gear and the apple minimize/full screen buttons. It would be great if you could move it slightly so people can avoid accidentally hitting the wrong thing.

keep it up. If it helps Im running OSX10.10.3 (14D131)

Settings button collides with the window buttons

Enabling Desktop notifications for the first time doesn't work using the app

The window for permissions for Desktop notifications doesn't show up if you are using the app, and it doesn't give any feedback at all. If it's the first time that you enable them you have to go to Safari and enable them there. At least this is what happened to me, if any of you could confirm the issue would be awesome.

Thanks!

10.9

Why does it require 10.10? Could small changes be made to support 10.9?

Zoom in/out keybinds (⌘+/⌘-) don't work.

Pressing ⌘+ and ⌘- don't do anything here, although choosing Zoom In and Zoom Out from the View menu work just fine. Pressing ⌘0 to reset to 100% does work, however.

I'm in an almost completely stock OS X 10.10.3, in case that helps.

First char in message produces system beep

Can be reproduced on 10.9 and 10.10.

Here's a dramatization:

Retina Icons

Menu icons aren’t retina friendly.

Clicking on dock icon does nothing

After hitting Cmd + W, clicking on the dock icon for the app should bring up the window again. Instead, nothing happens.

Doesn't support Mac OS 10.9

:(

Menubar icon (Status item)

Hi,

I really like this app, only if it available for a few days/hours. It does would it should.
But I have two feature requests:

• Menubar-Icon
• New message badge on the app icon

First character system beep

The first character typed in a message window results in the error sound.
