Hey People! I’m sorry, maybe 99% of my suggestions were suggested 100 times in this thread already, but I got to see it rather late and i’m too lazy to read everything

Some suggestions for Messenger Plus!.

1) A pop-up for Messenger Events. The same way as Event Log window works, but that with MSN Messenger-style pop-up. Like “(!M) changed his/her status to Away”. Also it will be cool if you would be able to choose yourself which events you want to see (changin’ online status, changin’ name, etc. …)

2) Changing the default Sign-In pop up a little bit… Now it says: “(!N) have just signed in”, but since 100% of contacts in my list (and 99,99% of all other MSN Messenger users, I suppose) change their names more often than e-mail addresses, I suggest to make it “(!M) have just signed in” instead. This must be an optional feature of course.
But if Patchou does not wanna do it because of one or another reason, he must at least remove all these boxes used for colors from that pop-up.

3) Being able to give a special sing-in sound not only for different people, but for each group also, that will be applied by default for every person in that group (even if you add him/her to your contact list or that group later). But of course you must still be able to make special sound every person you want, even if the ‘group sound’ is different.
And, this is more a kind of bug… in Preferences > Contact Sounds it is very difficult to see the e-mail address of people… Cuz’ 80% of them got really very long names that are changed every day too… So it will be nice to see the e-mail address when you move the mouse over their names.
It will be also nice to move all of the settings for contact sounds from Preferences to Contact Manager.

4) MSN Messenger background changer… so you just have to select any *.gif picture on your computer, and Plus! Will set it is background (not that I need that feature, I think I will even never use it, but I’m sure a lot of people will find it really very cool )

5) Some suggestions for Personolised Status improvement:

Change the:

Personolised Status
|_Predefined 1
|_Predefined 2
|_Predefined 3

to:

Personolised Status
|_Busy
|_Be Right Back
|_Away
|_On The Phone
|_Out To Lunch

Making Personolised Status Window a bit smaller would be nice too. It will be also very good to get that window after setting your status to anythin’.

And, to be able to select “Personolize my Status by default”. Now you still need to click on that yourself every time, and that’s very annoying, especially when you’re in a hurry and need to personalize ur status fast.

6) A kind of (!WMP) tag for Windows Media Player 9 (equivalent of (!WAT) tag for WinAmp)

7) segosa’s suggestion: custom name for /me commands. That if you type “/me” command, it wont dispay (!NP), but it will display somethin’ else set in settings. (But by default that ‘somethin’’ will be (!NP)). This is MUST-BE-ADDED feature!!!!!!!!!



Some suggestion for Plus! > Contact Manager

1) As mentioned above, to move all the settings for contact sounds from Preferences to Contact Manager (that seems much more logical to me).

2) Add “Contact Properties” button, that will display normal MSN Messenger Contact properties.

3) Add “View Chat Logs” button too.

4) Add “Phone number” line next to “E-mail”, “Last Online”, etc. … That will help to find phone numbers very fast because you never know who has them in MSN and who not…

5) Being able to view contacts by Groups, like in MSN Messenger.

6) Custom names for contacts in Contact Manager. I remember Patchou sayin’ one time that he will add it
If it’s not difficult, add a kind of (!CN) tag for Custom Name. Yes, I know that its NOT useful at all, but it will be very fun to great people on their own real name, while their nickname is different.

7) If you delete a contact, also will be nice to select “Block” too, just like in normal MSN Messenger.

8) Finally, make it possible to RESIZE or MAXIMIZE Contact Manager to whole screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
