Because of the new MSN Messenger 7, there can be a whole lot more icons on the bar above the type area. It also wouldn't fit there if you have a small conversation window...

Having so much space above the contact's DP window and even more below it (or even have it to the left of that black, downwards pointing arrow in the contact's DP or even better: my own)

A contact don't always has a DP and therefore all those places will be gone when he doesn't have a DP (see screenshot).

Also, the icon is meant to be placed near the typing area for convenience, not far away from it...

Isn't that a bit exaggerating? The small panel only takes up 24 pixels. That's hardly bigger then two small letters.

You can also use the top Plus! menu or the added submenu in the action button (the first button with that small arrow pointing down)... In fact those menu's in those menu's contain far more options then the Enhanced Plus! menu in the typing area.

And what abou the /sound command? The sound panel that pops up after typing that command is meant to be controlled with the mouse. It's a little uncomfortable to have to reach for the keyboard, type the command and then grab the mouse to select what sound to send. I truly beleive it would be better if the /sound command was integrated as a menu in the Plus! icon within the convo windows.

It is, click on the little speaker icon in the small panel near the typing area. Also note that you can use your keyboard to navigate in the soundpanel, you don't have to use your mouse.... See Keyboard Shortcuts...

I suggest you to read also all the other Help Pages, Tutorials and FAQ, so you don't miss out on anything.
