How about an option like the "What im listening to" for the gamers, where it detects the exe file running of the game and associates it with a name, so your personal message is changed to what game you are playing.
Only problem is the definitions for what games are what, but they can be requested or even added manually

I'm sure it'll be done for Plus! Live when it comes out... so right now you'd have no reason for this plug-in to be compatible with Plus! Live...

2) If it is added it will be in the form of this plugin (or another).
3) The plugin must be made compatible with Plus! Live's plugin API (which should not be much work).
4) Also note that the PSM setting in WLM has been changed compared to previous versions and thus this again requires the plugin (or any plugin which sets PSM's) to be made compatible with WLM also.
And hopefully MS will change the way PSM's are set back to what it was as currently you are stuck with the "title - artist" layout. This means that anything you set (even with games and office apps) must be in that form and will be outputted in that form. Previously the games and office PSM's where in the form "some text".
Previously:
music content => musictitle - musicartist
office content => office app name
game content => games app name
WLM (build 566):
music content => musictitle - musicartist
office content => office app name -
game content => games app name -
or
office content => - office app name
game content => - games app name
notice the "-" and space, this is because of the used "artist - title" form.
