Why not make it so the user needs to press the hotkey he whishes for each status, just like Plus! does in several preferences? It would be much more versatile (and better looking; and wouldn't require that much controls to check/control)....



PS: extra exercise (or plain copy/paste if you search for it in one of my scripts ): make the text for the statusses just the same as the Messenger language currently in use (aka get them from the language resource; but take in account that the filename differs from version to version).

PS: or you could make it into an very short script and actuall just get the status submenu from messenger and display that as a kind of popup menu (icons and shortcut text inclusive). No need for an extra Plus! window, etc (except for the config of course)

I don't want to point the finger at everybody, and I understand the  enthusiasm, but please read:

IMPORTANT POINT 1 (FOR EVERYBODY)

PS: Instead of editing and updating all your posts with those new download links each time you have a new version, why don't you instead attach the script to the first post in this thread? No need for editing and updating links in that way.

It is already confussing to people what the latest version is with all those redundant attachments and fogotten-to-update links in your posts.

Goes in general. Whenever you make a thread to release a new script, always, and only attach it to your first post together with the latest description. In that way the only thing you need to do when you have an update is refer to the first post in the thread. No confussion and several versions of a script in a thread anymore in that way...

IMPORTANT POINT 2 (FOR EVERYBODY)

Also, I understand the urge to create a new thread for this script. But please, if you already have posted, attached and discussed this in another thread (A question of plausibility), continue in that thread and do not create a new one...

It is highly annoying to keep track of such chaos for even people who are used to searching/comparing and tracking things, let alone for people who are new to forums...

This goes almost right along the rule "don't make duplicate threads/posts".

Currently, I see 2 threads, with the same suggestions and questions (which is of course what you get when you make another new thread for this) and 4 versions of this script...

If someone requests something and you make it into a script, post it in that same thread, or at least, if you really really want to create a new thread.

FIRST make that new thread and ONLY THEN reply to that other thread with a line like "I have made this for you, see thread blahblah" and ask for a closure (use the report button) of that request-thread...
