more than one tabbed chat by Santo on 10-14-2005 at 03:55 PM
Hi everyone
i was hoping to see this new version of plus! and use the final version of it.
I downloaded the latest version and saw that there is only one tabbed chat window.
Is there any chance of creating our own tabbed chats? Or have one for each group of contacto im msn?
Another thing that i don't understand: if we have two chats in the tabbed chat window and we receive a new message, does the taskbar blinks?
Thanks and keep up the good work, because i canīt use msn messenger without this program.

quote:It will flash, there's just a 15 second delay. It will also switch to that conversation and because of this delay it will give you time to finish reading/writing in the active conversation, the switching conversations is needed for the flashing (notice the namechange in taskbarbutton). If you switch off that option (plus > preferences > instant messages > tabbed chats...."auto-activate chat windows with unread messages"), there will be no more autoswitching screens but also no more taskbarflashes for unfocused chats.

You can change the delay if you wish to do so, either manually or with Plus! Tweak (this program changes the registrysettings for you). The regkey you're looking for is GroupAutoSwitchDelay. To download Plus! Tweak or for more information about this regkey see: Help Registry Tweaks
More about how tabs work can be found in the changelog.

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.
Just to inform that the setup program of Plus! Tweak gave me an error regarding the COMCTL32.OCX or one of its dependencies not beeing registered. I don't know if its a problem with my pc or a problem with the setup file.
About the regestry entry you mentioned, i can't find it of my pc.
Can anyone help me?
thanks

eg:
* Choli's reply to Plus! Tweak! for Plus! 3.61
* Sunshine's reply to Plus! Tweak! for Plus! 3.61
* Choli's reply to Plus! Tweak! for Plus! 3.61
* Tochjo's reply to Tabbed MSN
* etc... etc...
You can also find the component with very detailed instructions here:

If you still want to do it manually then see the official page for more information about the registry tweaks in Messenger Plus! (which SunShine also already posted): http://www.msgplus.net/help_registry.php
It explains everything and also where the Plus! registry settings are located (HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\your@email.com\Preferences). If the specified registry setting doesn't exist, you need to create it.
