Not really, its perfectly fine, and smaller toast might require smaller font size, and some people cant read very well. It only takes  up about an 2 inch X 2 inch. But if someone would make a script go ahead.

All that totally depends on your screen resolution and monitor size.

For some it can appear huge, for others it can be ony 0.5 x 0.5 inch (so to speak)...

that would only work for that specific script. It wont change the size of the toast used by Plus! and other scripts.

----------------------

To change the size of the Plus! toasts put an alternative interface.xml into the interface directory of Plus!.

Eg: extract the attached zip and put interface3.xml file in the "\Interface" subdirectory of Messenger Plus! Live.

With notepad, or some other text editor, edit the lines which define the dimensions of the toast (<Position Width="142" Height="74"/>). Note: the units are in dialog units, not in pixels.

You also need to change the dimensions of the subelements of the toasts though!

Also make sure the file is saved as Unicode, and not as Ansi. Then restart Messenger.

Note: changing the size _will_ show certain toast of certain scripts not as intended as many scripts are written to expect the toast to be a certain (default) size.
