I know this is an old thread, but someone asked about it, and it was a pain to sort it out, so here it is again (together with some "revamped" info about the plugin):
XFade version 0
This version, that you can download in the first post of this thread, is the oldest one and doesn't have a version number. It also doesn't have a menu item in the plugins menu in Messenger Plus!. (source available, see below)
XFade.dll
MD5 hash: 47ff10815d317ae04c4189ba6eb25c97
CRC-32: f40e33b0
XFade version 1.0
This version is the one that you can download in the
official plugins database, it is version 1.0! and
NOT 2.0 as it is stated there. It does have a menu item in the plugins menu in Messenger Plus!. The command
/xrfade doesn't work though...
XFade.dll

XFade version 1.01
This version, provided by xsRush in the thread "
XFade - what version?", is the
latest version and is a bugfix of 1.0. The command
/xrfade is fixed in this version. The original archive didn't had a readme though, so I'll provide the same archive
here, including a "revamped" readme... (see also below)

XFade version 2.0
This version does not exist, it is in fact version
1.0, see "XFade version 1.0" for explaination...

4) Read the instructions.

How to uninstall
1) Close MSN Messenger completely (right-click on its icon in your systemtray and choose "

Delete the file
xfade.dll in your plugins directory.
(the default directory is "
\program files\messenger plus! 2\plugins" or "
\program files\messenger plus! 3\plugins")
