Hi. I've made a new plugin called "Ultimate Messenger Lock" to fix this.

Ultimate Messenger Lock is a plugin for  Messenger Plus! that allows you to hide Messenger's tray icon when you use the Messenger Lock feature from  Messenger Plus!

Messenger Plus! Lock feature or boss protection don't hide the tray icon.

Go to "Ultimate Messenger Lock plugin configuration"window (wow, what a name :rolleyes:), tick the two Boxes, set both shortcuts to ctrl+shift+left arrow, click ok, close the  Messenger Plus! Preferences window and then press the shortcut.

Bug: (Ultimate Lock)
For instance you have either your Contact List or an IM window open and you press the key combination for the UM Lock and the windows stay visible just the icon is hidden.


If you use Boss Protection you cannot use the key combination for UML because the plugins dont respond.

Messenger Plus! Lock shortcut is failing, check if that shortcut works fine, if that's the problem, select another shortcut (the two shortcuts have to be different, like in the screenshot).

Oh they are different. The first is CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE and the second is CTRL+ALT+S.

Using CTRL+ALT+Left Arrow Key (This works) (Left arrow key is switched to Num 4)
Using CTRL+ALT+0 (This works)
Using CTRL+ALT+D (Failes)
Using CTRL+Shift+End (Works) (End key is switched to Num 1)
Using CTRL+Shift+D (Works)
Using CTRL+Alt+Shift+D (Fails)

It seems that when you use Alt you cannot use any letters. This could be because of keyboard shortcuts in menus.

When having Windows show the underlined key shortcuts it still happens
(Display Properties > Appearance > Advanced > something about the alt key)

Apart from that: Great plugin:banana:.

I'm still waiting for a boss protection that can hide tabbed conversations, does this one work?

If Plus! wont hide Tabbed conversations then this wont either. The program calls the Plus! feature to hide the windows and contact list then hides the icon itself. Now the reason why Plus! can't hide tabbed conversations is its not looking for that window in specific its looking for the conversation window and when it doesn't find it (because its parent window has changed) it can't hide it. Atleast I think thats the reason.

Awesome plugin Lopardo :d. Been lookin for something like this for some time. Awesome job done (y)!

RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by aNILEator on 09-12-2004 at 05:12 PM

thanks matty ;-), Oh found a problem I think.

I'm using Speedy MSN and when i use my configured buttons to ultimate lock messenger the icon dissapears but the contact list remains on screen until i close it.

RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by Sizzleman45 on 10-05-2004 at 09:26 PM

i HAVE A NICE BOSS DON'T NEED THIS BUT HE WOULD LIKE THIS FOR HIMSELF :d :p

RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by BlackStar on 10-06-2004 at 03:18 PM

I made by Bosskey to display an 8x8 Monochrome Empty Icon that is transparent.

Okay, there will be an empty space in the trayarea, but what the heck. It works nicely.

If you run XP you can also Hide it.

Just grab my Icon if you wanna try it or if you're to lazy to create one of your own.

* matty slaps ES for bringing up old posts... around a bit with a large trout.

Couldn't you just of PMed him or IMed him :S
RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by lopardo on 11-21-2004 at 04:03 AM

I'm working on an update, it will fix all the problems people had as it won't rely on Plus for hiding the windows, and it will even hide tabbed IM windows. If you want something else, ask and I'll see what I can do. :-)

RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by EvilSeph on 11-22-2004 at 05:00 AM

I didn't just PM him because other people want to know the status of this useful add-on to. There's always reasoning in my actions, now shoo Matty.

RE: New plugin: Ultimate Messenger Lock v1.0 released by Chestah on 11-22-2004 at 08:57 AM
