Thanks Aaron Toponce,
for pointing me to the windows_auto_renumber off option! Didn't know that one existed.
Regarding the problem that you usually remember which number a certain channel and/or conversation is(I do to) I do have a nice script which gives you an alternative 'act' bar. Instead of just the window number it also shows you the name of the channel/conversation.
The script can be found on f0rked.com and is called "Advanced Window List".
Some screenshots:
Using awl_hide_data=0, not hiding anything...
Using awl_hide_data=1, hiding inactive windows...
Using awl_hide_data=2, hiding all but msg's and query's...
I do realise that using this script can result into a very crowdy act bar, but that's what the awl_hide_data is for. You either like it or you don't and I do...
