Only certain fonts have spammy dark/light annoying fonts - why should that mean when I override them they should all be the same? A useful feature would be to extend the font-override function to a per-contact basis.

Although I would like that too, such a feature can be scripted quite easly since there is an item "Overide contact's font" in the Plus! menu in each conversation window.

Using the PostMessageW Windows API to send a WM_COMMAND message to the chat window with the correct command id (7408) you can trigger that menu on or off depending on what contact you're talking too [*] (the default state of the menu when you open a chat window can be known from the registry key FontOverrideDefault).

Throw in a nice interface to select the contacts for which you want to override their fonts (and even reusing the registry settings for the font-override preferences in Plus!) and you have the feature.

More about this in some threads in the scripting forum, iirc...

Oh cool, but my scripting knowledge is limited, and it seems logical to have it as a developed feature in Plus! than to be an expanded feature with a script though.

I may attempt this later unless I'm beaten to it
