Suggestion about DOT by brianjdupuis on 09-25-2008 at 12:18 AM

Just a quick suggestion when the new version of Plus comes out. When you are in a conversation that there is an option to get rid of that little dot before a sentence in the New Windows Live Messenger.

AND WOW it's been along time since I have been on here!

It's probably possible using a reshack, but MP!L is not yet compatible with WLM 9.0 BETA


RE: Suggestion about DOT by Sunshine on 09-25-2008 at 11:38 AM

You can already do that, just go to Tools > Options > Messages and uncheck "Group sequential messages from each contact together".

What if you still want to group the messages, without the dot?
RE: Suggestion about DOT by Sunshine on 09-25-2008 at 12:56 PM

You can't do that, the dot has replaced the > we see in 8.5

I don't recall ever seeing a >?
RE: Suggestion about DOT by djdannyp on 09-25-2008 at 01:07 PM

Are you referring to the colon (:) which comes after the display name and before sent messages?

IIRC that is only if you send a command such as /me after you have already sent a message, else it starts on a clear line, with no formatting or symbols

Right, well to get back to the original topic, I assume it would be possible using skinning as well (one Plus! is released for WLM9).

Not really. Plus! Skins cannot edit the text in the chatwnd afaik.

Well, the dot is an image, so replacing the dot with a transparent image should effectively remove it?
RE: Suggestion about DOT by djdannyp on 09-25-2008 at 03:23 PM

It's not an image, it's text

Correct, It's an image, not text

Darn, you're right.

Yay, I'm right.
RE: Suggestion about DOT by Felu on 09-25-2008 at 03:52 PM

Actually if skins can remove the "says" part, they probably can remove the dot before the messages in a similar way. But tbh I'm not sure whether a skin can do that or not. Lets wait and see that Willz has to say on this.

RE: Suggestion about DOT by Basilis on 09-25-2008 at 05:42 PM

Then it can be removed easily with skinning. Though, someone who knows how to create DLL skins must do it for you. :)

I assume it has, as the dots didn't exist in 8.5.
RE: Suggestion about DOT by djdannyp on 09-25-2008 at 07:17 PM

Ah, yeah, just signed into the 9 Beta and I see what it is

Hmm, it is very annoying now that I notice it

That definitely needs to go :P
