Watching the contact list/Question by alegator on 04-28-2005 at 02:21 PM
Everytime I want to check who's online in my contact list I double click the MSN icon in the system tray, open the MSN window, check status of my cointacts and close it. Is there any plugin/patch that will enable to do this by just hovering the mouse arrow on top of the system tray's MSN icon displaying a popup window listing the contacts that are online?
This would be very helpful as it would save all mouse clicks needed to check this.

I think he means he likes the suggestion. However, I fear it'd be difficult to implement.

The challenge is detecting when the mouse is over the icon. That's why I said it's difficult.
