I'd just like to add that the only reason I stopped trying with this is that I don't have access to an aero capable vista installation. (Just the virtual machine type)
If anyone is interested in trying as has program experience, I recommend looking at the
Desktop Window Manager API
There are two things in messenger's architecture that *might* be the cause for problems. Messenger uses normal GDI functions to paint it's window. This can be a problem if the the desired operation requires that the alpha value remain intact.
The other possible problem is that messenger's UI is drawn entirely on a child window. The may prevent proper rendering.
In any case, you would need support from a separate program, (probably Messenger Plus if Patchou is willing to implement it.) in order to pull it off.
