[Suggestion] Display Idle status by Derwan on 12-06-2004 at 01:12 AM

I did a search on the Idle status and although there are a few discussions, I couldn't see this specific suggestion.

The Event Log window shows whether a contact has gone idle or has actually changed their status to Away.  It would be great if Messenger Plus could change the display in the main window (similar to what it does now with personalised statuses) to include "(Idle)" instead of "(Away)" when the contact has gone idle.

Have a look at Matty's reply to Is it possible or anyway of telling the real status of the contact?? :)

Yep - using an illegal patch.  I notice Mess.be has included it in their patch now too.  I prefer to use Plus! for everything if possible.  It is legal and it ensures no conflicts (e.g. multiple patches, etc).  And considering it already does something similar with personalised statuses, it shouldn't be too hard to implement??  *Looks at Patchou*

Probably better as a plugin.
Would work much like the Handwriting Enabler i.e. patching in memory.

In fact, when I get back to my PC, I'll have a go at doing this myself.

Haven't you heard of something called Msnfanatic.com? I suggest you going there because there is already a project discussing it.  Go look!

I was talking about in-memory patching, like how JnrzLoader works.
