Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200908022240) Java: 1.5.0_19; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_19-137 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.7 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb) When a user wants to open 1:1 chat then the dialog with the title "Send private message to" appears. The dialog is not good from the usability point of view and it needs redesign in the following aspects: - it is not clear what is the user required to type into the textfield (message or name of the user). So that the descriptive label needs to be bound to the textfield - the width of the dialog is short so that the title is not fully visible - see screenshot1 -when the dialog's height is stretched then the textfield's height is enlarged so that it looks like textarea - see screenshot2 -when the dialog's width is shrinked the OK button is not visible (seems to me like the minimal size needs to be better set up) - see screenshot3
