O.P. [REQUEST] New Inactive Icon / Change contact's nickname
Hey guys,
I've notice that Plus Live detects when someone is really away from the computer, displaying a message on the status info saying "Inactive" instead of "Away".
Well, This is really great, but since the icon of the status does not change, it's hard to see that info.
So, Is it possible to create a script that changes the contact nickname to something like "[Inactive] Joseph" ?
I think it would be pretty useful.
Thanks!
Nicholas

Well I don't think the Messenger Plus! Live scripting system has access to the nickname alteration

Yet again, isn't possible within the scripting system

Cloud,
and how about sending you a message from the contact saying that he is inactive from the computer? Is that possible?
If not, then I think another way is sending a toast to me, saying that the user is inactived.
I think that resource of detecting when the user is really away from the computer, should be more visible. There are many ways to do that, I'm pretty sure that one of them can be done.
Oh, another question: with how much time plus live displays the user as being really away from the computer? it can not be personalized via script, can it?
If yes would be the answer, the script could have a field to define that too.

code: function OnEvent_ContactStatusChange(Email,NewStatus) {
if(NewStatus == 6) {
var contact = Contacts.GetContact(Email);
MsgPlus.DisplayToastContact("Idle Alert",contact.Name,"Has gone idle.");
}
}
Something like that should do it for you. Should work, but can't really test it out right now.

Yeah, I thought that too, since plus let you change your contact's nicknames, but...
Hmmm Thanks for the code, dragon. I will try it.
Can someone tell me how much time is set to display the user as inactive? Or if it is personalizable?

Personalizable.
Tools --> Options --> Personal --> Show me as idle after [x] minutes.

Joker... this is a joke, right?!
I'm talking about inactive function, not AWAY function.
Inactive is showed (by Plus Live, not by Messenger Live) when the user is really away from messenger, not when you simply turns your status to idle or when you put that to automatic.
