Well I've been thinking about the upcoming release of Messenger Plus! 3.50 and I decided to make a list of my ideas. Let me know if any of the features below are simply not possible in MSN Messenger 7, being worked on, or finished in Messenger Plus! 3.50:

• Allow constant Nudging without being stopped for a few seconds in between each Nudge
• Enable Winamp to work instead of Windows Media Player for the "Now playing..." feature in MSN Messenger 7.0.0406
• Allow colors in your sub-name feature in MSN Messenger 7.0.0406
• Create a custom Winks feature that allows you to load animations into MSN Messenger 7
• Allow sharing of custom Winks (if its possible to make them)
• Create custom Winks that come with Messenger Plus! 3.50
• Add a feature that can disable certain buttons (such as the Packs button or the What's Hot Emoticons tab)
• Add a Checkbox under each Personalised Status that says "Lockdown" so whenever you have Lockdown checked for that specific Personalised Status your MSN will be automatically Locked Down
• For the Handwriting tab, make the option to set a right-click color (just like PhotoShop's background color) Sure, it seems tough, but its definitely possible since Blasphemer (or whoever made the Handwriting tab) was able to create the buttons under the Handwriting tab
• When having the Handwriting tab enabled, allow the copying of an image to be sent as Ink
• If tabbed conversations are added: Put an icon next to the name of the contact in the tab thats shows the status of a conversation (Blue:No new messages in the conversation - Orange: Contact is writing a message - Red: New message has been received)

If you guys want to add onto this list, feel free to. If anyone doesn't understand what I mean by a certain feature, let me know and I'll explain it further. I know these features are a lot to ask for but since you are releasing the new version in March I'm guessing you can pull them off.

First of all, I don't think new features can be suggested for the upcoming version anymore, maybe some could be done in later versions

Hehe. Well I just said add the Nudge thing to use it on a couple of my real life friends just to get their attention. I definitely wouldn't use it very often.

Anyway, I have another idea:
• When having the Handwriting tab enabled, allow the copying of an image to be sent as Ink

That would be the greatest feature of all.

i have a quick suggestion which has probably been made for plus 3.50 but we never know

  something like /personalmsg I'm testing

so that it sests a personal message for messenger from the conversation window

That could probably be made in the next Shortcuts Plugin.

A feature so that all received files go into folders named after the contacts email address

What i want is an option to stop the titlebar blinking when someone says something.
I know, most people can ignore it, but I can't .
*suckup* Patchou, you're a great programmer that works for free, could you make your addon even better (for me)

Yeah, that would be cool, too. I was just suggesting Winamp as an example since I only use Winamp.

Another idea:
• Add a Checkbox under each Personalised Status that says "Lockdown" so whenever you have Lockdown checked for that specific Personalised Status your MSN will be automatically Locked Down

Even another:
• For the Handwriting tab, make the option to set a right-click color (just like PhotoShop's background color)
Sure, it seems tough, but its definitely possible since Blasphemer (or whoever made the Handwriting tab) was able to create the buttons under the Handwriting tab

i think that the tabbed  conversation window is a great idea, only should should be able to choose which conversations you want tabbed, and which free floating

Yeah, and for the tabbed conversation window:
• An icon next to the name of the contact thats shows the status of a conversation
Examples:
Blue - No new messages in the conversation
Orange - Contact is writing a message
Red - New message has been received
That would be simply amazing.
I updated the first post of this thread with my ideas.

I edited my first post and added that in. Read all of my posts.

Suggestions for msgplus 3.5 are a tad late , beta testers are currenly testing current features to make sure they'll be working when the final is released. However i do like the /pmsg or a similiar command to change your personal message. maybe "/pmsg on" to turn on the Music feature

i dno if it's been sugested allready, but when msgplus first started u couldn't change the backfround of message windows therefore i could just write

"screams:" and then put the tag for white text, thus eliminating the word "sais:"

since the move to msn 6 i haven't tried it again.

are there any plugins currently available which allow u to change the word "says" to something else, if not, please accept it a sugestion


edit: The mess patch hasn't made my winamp show on the little "listening to" tag, any ideas?

I have no idea what your talking about for the one suggestion. However, you should download TheBlasphemer's little plugin for the Winamp feature, Penguin.

suggestion:

words filter:

support the * character on the 2 fields
ex:
*ao to *ão

and a checkbox to make that filter Case sensitivy or msgplus auto detect the cases

NAO - NÃO
nao - não
Não - Nao

support for spaces in the first character or a checkbox Starting
(to change only words that are not in the beggining)


messages:
auto case words to make the first capital and add the "." in the end
or "?" if the message contain especifieds words


(:
would be a better plus

A cool adition would be Emoticons Backup!!!

I had a lot of emoticons, and every time I format my computer, they erease

PLiss Patchou, YOU CAN DO IT ^^

Not possible, Frost. If MSN is re-installed then most likely Messenger Plus! is re-installed. All configuration files are lost.

hello everybody,
i'm new and i would like to know if a "mute" option is in project in this new version of Messenger Plus. it would be useful when you want to listen to music and stay online.
sorry for my english, i'm french.

Welcome Cri-cri
If you want to mute your msn would it not be possible to change your status to busy?

yes I know but i would like to stay online or away so nobody could know if i'm in front or my computer or not. i know, it sounds silly but i am

i think a good new funtion would be a hacker add on to check your friends archives or to pass on viruses, just kidding. seriously, i wouldnt like someone to do that to me. now seriously a good idea would be to have a little program like winamp in the conversation window, or maybe thinking it well to have a little console that controls winamp, windows media or another music program or even 2 or more at a time, you could seelect which you want to use in the moment or even open the program frrom the window, but not with shortcuts like /changemusic i would want a console set in the window, maybe in the lower part of the window or aside in a column left or rigthor in the top or even better you can decide where to put it, or make it transparent or hide it, that would be a lot of work but would be great. another could be a little square in the corner of the conversation window which let you see the desktop of your friend, obiusly with his permision, or maybe... well i think i have dried my brain thinking a lot, when i wak e up again i will say some more. *goes to sleep and shut the ligths off*

One feature I would like is..

You put a certain time and date in, and in your msn name a countdown gets put and gets updated hourly eg.

(Name)[3 days 17 hours until (an event)]

If you get me...

It would be better if that showed up instead of the ad bar in the MSN Contacts list.

cant you already do that by just disabling the sound options manually in plus! and in msn? (in msn messenger for instance in "options" under "alerts and sounds") and in plus! preferences under "notifications"? i'm not sure if that's what you meant.

but if you did that - you could still listen to music and have other computer sounds, without msn making sounds in the background.

Edit: but mute would be kinda cool i guess , if you wanted to disable those sounds quickly...

cri-cri nice feature suggestion, I agree
