Ahmad, you are doing a great job with A-Patch!

As soon as Messenger 7.5 is public BETA or final, and both A-Patch and MessPatch support this version I will rewrite my comparison, probably once again showing the world that A-Patch outnumbers MessPatch!

And as I mentioned earlier, both you and others that have a Messenger-related webpage can feel free to link to my little comparison.

Thanks einum

More good news! I've re-added the Always On Top button options in the contact list and instant message window, enjoy!

Dear Ahmad

I always cannot connect to ur website (apatch.tk)！

A-Patch has been updated for MSN Messenger 7.5.0299

See the first post for more details or visit the website.

There is a small glitch when you choose to move the "Add a new contact label" to the bottom of the Contact List. The top of the label and icon is cut off - see attachment. "Legg til en kontakt" is Norwegian for "Add a new contact".

PS! My comparison will probably be updated for MSN 7.5 this weekend - if I got time...

I can't see 'auto hide contact's display picture' on the list within the program. Any idea when it'll be re-added?

My comparison is now updated for MSN Messenger 7.5.0299! -» see signature.

MessPatch has sure made improvements since the last version, there is now fewer functions that is available only in A-Patch, and there are also some new functions that are not included in A-Patch... I still prefer A-Patch though! Ahmad, look through the comparison and try to implement the features that A-Patch doesn't have at this moment, and also use it for improvement on functions that can be made better.

I would love to see the following features from MessPatch included in A-Patch:
- Move Add Contact Button To Upper Panel (this will remove the Add Contact Bar from Contact List)
- The text next to SignOut Button in Messenger-specific language (msgslang.dll ?)
- The Always On Top Button in Conversation Windows not partly hidden behind the MSN logo
- Switch Tabs To Right Side of the Contact List
- Remove Yellow Info Bar in Contact List

And a new feature I would love to see:
- Remove text next to the buttons in the Contact Cards.
Those contacts who have both a WebCam and an MSN Mobile account have so many icons on the contact card that some of the texts is removed to make space for all the icons. Then it should be possible to force all the texts to be removed too.

When you are ready to include different languages in the installer, I could translate it into Norwegian if you want to.

When's A-patch 1.2.4 coming out? Translators finished their job on it a while ago, right?
