I talked to Patchou when I recieved the first beta with Chrono on this to test the feature early and I suggested that and he said he didn't want to boggle down all the menus and have multiple colours. But you never know what is going to happen in the next ver.

Personally I don't like this at all, the contacts aren't ment to have font styles. Its an extra window saying whos online. I dont think it is needed. But like i said earlier you never know.

I honestly dont see an need to do this, isn't resizing it with the mouse the most common way to resize windows? I mean you don't use numbers to resize a window you use a mouse so why should this be any different?

This was added to the todo list in a sence where you can make yourself float as a desktop contact and will be able to set status from there and such.

O.P. RE: Extending the floating contact features?
alright, maybe the width, height and position is a little to much, I just wanted a way to place and size my floaters exactly as i want them, instead of fidgeting with my inaccurate mouse, but thats not that big of a deal.
Colors and fonts, on the other hand, are important, I need my desktop to look good, and i'm sure many people here understand that.
its great that these things may come out in the next version, I can't wait to see.
Thanks for your help

Just like I said before:

You can do that by editing the registry settings. The coordinates are store in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\<MSN_SIGNIN_EMAIL>\Contacts\CtcDetach\<CONTACT_EMAIL>\WndRect

;)
