O.P. [Request] Gaming
I'm not sure if a script for this has been made yet. I had an idea tho for making MSN more gamer friendly and to work somewhat like Xfire or Steam. To have hot keys to make it come up in full screen games and have an in game sound go off when getting a message.


So if anyone is at all interested in trying to make this, please leave a note about it and about if it is at all possible.

Unfortunately, this isn't possible with scripts.

The reason for this is that a game has to use DirectX to get proper full-screen functionality. Steam and Xfire have some libraries to hook into the games with DirectX, but Messenger doesn't use DirectX in any way. Therefore, it's not possible for a Plus! Live script to hook into a full-screen game and make chat overlay windows in it like Steam and Xfire do.

Well, you can still disable the setting that automatically makes you busy when running full-screen applications, so that you can hear the sounds of received messages.
