RE: remove advertisment bar in MSN 7
I am not sure if the technical reason was posted or not for the banner removal but here is [b]MY[/b[ technical reason for it. Its not a part of revenue generation but the fact that the MSN Messenger team wrapped their entire contact list control (including tabs, the search bar, and advertisement bar, etc) in a DirectHUI window. From what I remember these are all created when the program is run they are not seperate controls so Patchou would need to change the entire banner HIDING (not Removal there is a big difference, Patchou hid the window and resized the contact list, he never removed it). Now since everything is stored in a UFile (hence the created at run time part) Patchou would have to try and patch the UFile in memory which is harder then just hiding the window.
Lets please stop bugging him about the banner removal as this feature is "dead" on MSN Messenger 7. Like stated before there are plenty of patchs available for MSN Messenger so...
Thats the end of my speil, I hope it made some sense, I am working on a little bit of sleep had a tossing and turning night... Time go go program...
I don't think i should do this tho, you guys trust me when you install my software... maybe I should program while awake)
