Design By Yourself a CHAOS! Group

CHAOS! claims to connect people, browsing the same internet site. It allocates dedicated chat room for every world wide web site! So, a few people can enter the same room. To answer a room "overcrowding" problem CHAOS! proposes the following facilities:

1. Defining the room status (Public/Private).
   Public room renders all newbie's text to income stream area.
   Private room drops newbie's text.

2. Defining the contact status (Accepting/Ignoring).
   Ignored contact's text will be dropped even in Public room.
   Accepted contact's text will be rendered even in Private room.
   To toggle contact status, click on it's name on "Active Contacts" Panel.
   One can also Ignore/Accept all contacts by clicking the button on the bottom of the panel.

   Above features are controlled from "Active Contacts" Panel.
   On startup the panel is open. Click "Open"/"Hide" button on the upper-right corner of input stream area to toggle "Active Contacts" Panel state.

3. SBar Tool for on-the-fly fine tuning of incoming text rendering.
   CHAOS! deploys a few tuning entities. Every entity has it own specific SBar.

   The following entities have their own SBar.

   • "MyText" is a text which has been feed by you.
     "MyText" SBar controls text layout as in input area as in incoming stream area. This SBar is activated from a title line of input text area.

   • Every chat participant (contact) can be tuned on it specific way. Every contact has its own SBar, which can be activated from the "Active Contacts" panel from appropriate line.

   • "Contacts", which do not get their specific tune, inherit their layout from "Contacts" SBar. This SBar is activated by clicking on "SBar" button on the top line stream area.

The "MyText" and "Contacts" layout can be saved and will be automatically loaded on next session.

By rejecting or accepting income contacts, user compounds the participants of chatting group. By applying SBar on accepted chat participants, user fine tunes chat group for fast and favorable visual recognition. Being combined these facilities provide comfortable environment for end user.

The following examples show how one can compose its own chatting group from the same room to answer his unique needs.

1. Scenario number one. Scenarios name "I am a mentor of the group".
   I am guiding other people on some issue.
   • Sign room as Public
   • Leave "Active Contacts" panel open.
   • Use "MyText" SBar to tune my text. Pay attention, layout changes is applied to input text area, and to stream area where your text is rendered.
   • Use "Contact" SBar to tune contacts text.

   During the chat you may like to ignore some intruders or stress out the people, whose questions you would like answer first from "Active Contacts" panel.

2. Scenario number two. Scenarios name "I am guided on some issue".
   I am getting advises from advance mentor.
   • Sign room as Private.
   • Using SBar stress out the text of the contact, who is my mentor (use font, color and other gadgets).
   • During conversation sign "Ignore" to contacts, which are not interesting to you.
   • Sign it "Accept" when you want to read its question.

3. Scenario number three. Scenarios name "I'd like peer-to-peer talk".
   • Sign room as Private

   • Accept Peer contact
   • Hide "Active Contacts" Panel.
   • Use "MyText" SBar and "Contacts" SBar for layout fine tuning.
