      Description:
      Problem
      Because the Notes Instant Messaging contact list has no "minimize" functionality, you usually have to move it or hide (clear) it once you've finished using it. If you find yourself wishing you could keep the contact list open but out of the way, consider enabling the Notes.ini AutoFadeIMContactList parameter.

      Solution
      When the AutoFadeIMContactList is enabled, the contact list becomes partially transparent when you change the focus from the contact list to the Notes client (or Designer or Administrator clients).

      For example, if you set the parameter to 25, the contact list will display 25% opaque and 75% transparent when it does not have the focus. The lower the number, the more transparent the contact list will be when the focus is elsewhere. When you want to make use the contact list, place your mouse over it; the transparency disappears, and the list is 100% opaque.

      After enabling the parameter, you can determine the exact size and location that works best to keep the contact list accessible yet out of the way when not in use.

      You must restart Notes for the parameter to take effect

      Value = a number between 1 and 100
