Hi

I have been using http://www.trillian.cc for a while but want to use msn again (Trillian can't keep up with the speed microsoft adds new features).

However, in Trillian I really like the container option that is not available in messenger and plus. With messenger you have a button and a window per chat session. This container option groups / displays all chat sessions inside the container window, so you have only one button on the windows toolbar to minimize/maximize. (Attached screenshot is from the container window with 2 chat sessions + the contact list inside it).

Does anyone know if such a plugin is available for messenger and where I can get it?

Update Jan 3, 2005: there have been multiple conversations and threaths about this request. Where Trillian refers to a container, all msn users refer to a tabbed message window for a similar feature. Both features group all conversation windows in a single larger window, with or without tabs. I updated the screen shot from Trillian. It shows the container in two ways. The top most one is the container with tabs enabled, the lower one the same but with tabs disabled. With tabs enabled, when a session is out of focus because you are talking in another session, there is a sound and the tab header of sessions with new unread messages turns red. To see for your self, download and install Trillian from http://www.trillian.cc/

Fukafly opened a new clean threath for this with a new pol. Be sure to vote on http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=36384
