Hi, Im would like to start a poll on whether people would prefer the Windows Live Messenger pop up toast to apear on Msg Plus notifications or the messenger Plus toast. Well this is if it is possible to call the Windows Live Messenger pop up toast for these things anyway which I believe it is because from Screenshots of the next StuffPlug that I have seen they can call upon the Windows Live Messenger notification toast for one of there features.

Messenger Plus! Live Pop-up toast.. and I believe you meant POLL not pole.

honestly I don't know the difference between them
I guess I have not paid much attention to them
could you post a screenshot please

i would prefer the MP!L ones becuase you can easily modify them to how you want

I believe Plus! should use Windows Live Messenger's own. I've brought up this issue in the past, and although it is possible, it contains limitations, something which Patchou cannot afford to make exceptions for due to many scripts using toasts.

Personally I like the Plus toasts because they are modifiable if Patchou would amend some things to do with the skinning of Plus!.  The thing I would like to see however is to add a pictures to the toasts like WLM has.  This is the only thing I believe is missing or needs ahearing to (along with the skinning functionality).

I am not interested in modifying those MP!L toast windows so I prefer WLM's toast windows. Also one of them prevent the other to be displayed when they must be displayed in the same time. It is a bit annoying. I prefer all notifications would pop-up on top of the other at the same time.

Creating genuine WLM toasts is possible and not extremely difficult, however, the Plus! toasts are better for Plus! because there is a lot more control over them, among other things..

Except for the fact that both kind of toasts dont appear together, why should it matter? they look pretty much the same, at least, they're supposed to. Using my own toasts allow me to do whatever I want in them, I don't plan on using Messenger's ones but I'm opened to hear what you have to say negative about the current ones (there's always room for improvement I guess ).

I'm siding with Patchou on this one: using your own toasts gives you so much more control. Not only can you control their exact size and speed, you can also tailor the shape, animation, content, anything you want to!

Needless to say, Phoenix Live will use its own toasts over Messenger's.

Also WLM displays pop-up windows with the color which we have set for every individual contact. For example when I am chatting with X in a blue conversation window, suddenly a green (which is default color of Messenger) pop-up appears stating that X Signed Out. Then again a blue pop-up is displayed by WLM stating that X signed in again.

Also "Messenger Event" which appears on the top of Plus!'s pop-ups is unnecessary, because it is obvious that is an Messenger Event. Instead, emphasize the brand as Messenger Plus! Live (like pop-ups of POP3 notifications of Plus!) like Windows Live Messenger.

These are my ideas. Thanks!

EDIT: I thought again and decided to use MP!Live toasts, it is not necessary to use WLM's ones. There is not that much need to use them.
