Update for Facebook chat

Update for Facebook chat

Facebook has improved its chat a bit, so it is now possible to keep multiple chat windows open at the same time!

You may have noticed two or more chat windows open lately and thought it was a mistake, but it's not. Facebook has inserted this feature which I really like.

So, open one chat window, then another, then a third, and so on as long as you want and everyone will stay open. Also, if you correspond with someone and at that moment you receive a message from another friend, that new window will open, but this first one of yours will also be open.

Since you have multiple windows open, you need to recognize which one is active. This was taken care of by the characteristic blue color at the top of the chat. So such an active window has a darker blue color than the others.

A really useful upgrade for FB chat.
