Hey, I have an Idea for the new Plus
If you don't like the tabbed chat, you can use this idea, so you cant choose both of them.
Anyway the idea is,
Instead of the tabbed chat bar, viewing your current tabbed chat "Open Conversation"
You can add few contact on that bar, and you can jump to their convo anytime you want, Its like the Favorite bar.
In that bar you can view the contact name, and their status, Offline Online
If they came online, the color of the tab would get as same as the skin color, and if they are offline, the tab would be gray or something, but you can still jump to it
So my idea is to get a tabbed chat bar, but its not about "Open conversation"
Its about your favorite contact, you can add them or remove them from that bar easly, and that bar will be in every open convo you have, and when you press on that bar, It'll open a new convo window.
I hope you get it and liked it and it will get accepted.
Thanks for your time.
