I've had a go with the public beta of WLM and was trying to get the custom names to something like I have with MSG 7.5. In 7.5 with plus I have a custom name (or nickname) in bold and coloured, according to the group, followed by their full msn display name in a grey colour then their personal message in black (I didn't specify this bit but it seems to do it automatically and I like it).
In WLM I couldn't see any way to format the custom (nick)name or include their full display name afterwards (not just the personal message). I'd like to do this because for some reason some of my contacts put their 'personal message' in their normal display name and a lot don't use their real full name anyway, so I like to see what they've called themselves
.
From what i've heard MSG Plus Live won't have any custom display name feature so i'd like to know if i'll be able to customise the display names like I can in msg 7.5 with plus. Seems like a step backwards if I can't
.
Thanks.
