I Know this has been said many times before, but I cannot stress this enough. As such an easy feature to add to msg plus, with the option to turn off/on, I think that window docking the contact list so that the contact list is always on screen and that no other application window covers it up would be nice. kind of have all other windows push aside, just like the windows taskbar does!. I know this has been said before, but people have kinda forgotten about this by now, and i really think this is a must small suggestion to plus.

also, the windows taskbar can "autohide", i think there should be an option to autohide the docked contact list

there is a plugin to do this. its called docker.

Dock it on the side of the screen, then go Tools > Always On Top.

what he wants it to do is reduce the screen size, so when you maximize a window, it doesnt cover the messenger screen, or go under it

he appears to have a point there

I'll check it out again, however, you have to understand something: Messenger Plus! is not a program on its own, it hooks Messenger and tried to manipulate it. Things that can be easy in your own program can become almost impossible when you hook .

ah better point

well i hope patchou finds a way to make it still possible coz coz its is a great feature

Maybe the creator of docker should help patch?

well thats an option so they can work it out together to make it possible to work and maybe patchou could also fix something like that too for the floating contacts thats they dock on the side of the window

i believe docker had the source code released, it never auto-hid like the contact list does with MSN SHELL

a small idea (dunno on possibility):

i really like to see my contact list all the time... but due to small taskbar space i find it really annoying having the "MSN Messenger" taskbar entry (the actual window, not the icon)... is there any way to remove said taskbar entry??
if not, ill have to put up with it...

i know this is offtopic, but what about having msn messenger snapping to the endges like winamp does? could this be done easy?

no i think that would have to be in the actual program rather than in an add-on


OR

This would be tricky to code
