O.P. RE: {request} floating contacts icons
reshacker is software that allows you to change resources in an exe or a dll file. Swap out icons, bitmaps, etc. The only precaution i'll give you if you're interested in using it, is to not mess around with exe files too much, as that can cause them not to function.
Millenium Edition, while i am aware skinning the app involves modifying the exe, when msgplus removes the banner advertisements in msn, it is also modifying that same exe. Additionally, I don't think Microsoft was interested in prohibiting "skinning" of the app when it banned modification of the exe file, i'm almost certain their intention was to prevent malicious forms of MSN from circulating that could damage the end-user's PC, or hinder the MSN servers that host the service. The bottom line here, is that the future is in customizability, and MSN users should be able to have that option open to them as well.
