Hi,

I'm currently developing version 3.21 and I need your help to test some stuff... many of you reported that the Always On Top property of the floating contacts seem to deactivate by itself for various reasons from tiem to time. I've not been able to reproduce this problem myself so I can't be sure that my currentmodificationssolved the problem. If you're currently experiencing the problem (and you know how to reproduce the problem on your computer), plaase send an email to mplus@patchou.com and I'll send you a beta version that will, hopefully, solve the problem.

Thanks!
Patchou

I have never had this problem. And I have all my contacts on the desktop..But will email you if I can get it to do that, and then re-produce it .

Hello Patchou! =D

It gets unloaded serval times, Most of the time, when a program is loaded Before MSN, it sort of doesn't Always on Top it, Example, I open my computer, run my photoshop to making some photoshopin' and then suddenly remember to run MSN, when it loads, it doesn't loads into the window.

The second that rarely comes, is when a special movements done by another program, Example Internet explorer script (resizing) so it un-displays it.

Not anymore that i can think off, and time to sleep

Goodnight everyone, and Patchou =D

email sent patchou.

Thanksfor the post Brian... I hope you sent me an email so that I can send you a beta version

I'm going to send the email as soon as possible, it's 6:34 AM here, and i better get to my bus =P stupid schools =P

BTW, what Windows version are you using? I'm having similar problems with another program in my Windows XP SP1 (I also have Windows 98 and Windows XP SP2 and it works fine there).

lopardo, make sure it isn't the "show desktop" vs. "minimize all" problem described here: CookieRevised's reply to Messenger Plus! 3.20

No, Plus works great, it's with another program. I set it to be always on top, but sometimes it doesn't work (and it only happens in my XP SP1).

I was talking about that other program......

I have sent an email to you, Patchou.

Being able to put your contacts on your desktop rules!

However, I spent the last 4+ hours making a nice background to store all of my contacts. It worked great until I restarted my computer and they ALL scrambled. I don't want to replace them all every time I restart my computer. PLEASE make it so they can stay where you put them! I don't want my 4 hour background to go to waste!

Also -- Not only do they scramble but they return to the colors you set as default. I sort my contacts using the seperate boarder colors. If it could save this information that would be awesome, I want to keep my list on my desktop.

Thank you Patchou and I'm looking forward to new improvements. You've made MSN infinitely better than AIM.

well u can use Choli's  "Plus! Tweak!" that can set the color for each contact Separately. Plus! Tweak! for Plus! 3.20

when u do it on your desktop, it just sets a defualt for all of them, choli's plus! tweak! can set it for each contact

I wouldn't mind it as much, except look at this! I spent so much time on it and if I have to replace them all every time I restart my computer.. screw it then but on the news page it said "Never use your contact list again!" and that sounded awesome.



Click for large.

It was never meant as a replacement for your entire contactlist... Also, the bug will be fixed (and new things added). Have patience

Also "Never use your contact list again!" is a catchfrase, an advertisement banner. And catchfrases in advertising should rarely taken 100% seriously (watch the TV and some commercials, you'll know what I mean ). Although you _could_ put your entire list on the desktop, but as said, it was never meant for that. The purpose of the floating contacts is that you can always keep an eye on those few special persons without opening your contact list....

I guess it's just a waiting game

And yeah I know it's not supposed to be an entire replacement but I never use my desktop anyway.

Sorry for this problem, it has been fixed in version 3.21. In the meantime, just remember to sign-out before you exit Messenger and your floating windows will be saved
