I finally decided to switch to MSN 7 Beta, just because it's newer and for the MSN Spaces support. Also installed newest Msgplus Beta.

But now in the convo windows these new icons (winks [hate them already] and nudges [luckely I applied 2 patches to remove all ads and disable nudges etc.] and packs [which idiot is gonna buy those]) make my Plus! icon disappear .

Check screenshot. I know I could just make my window bigger but I don't want that. Isn't there a way to get rid of those buttons? Maybe with the next ?

Windows-versie: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger-versie: 7.0.0425
Messenger Plus!-versie: 3.40.0112

Yes - it would be nice to have the option to remove these - maybe individually.  (E.g. You might want to use nudges, but not Packs.)  On the same options screen, you could have the option to remove the "MSN Today" button on the main screen - and the search area.  (I know the ads aren't gonna be removed.)

You can remove all the ad's with patches (I have), but that is against the license agreement. I donno it you can remove all those attributes (MSN Search/MSN Today) without patching. But you are right that it would be good if you can remove them individually.

make sure you backup msnmsgr.exe first

open msnmsgr.exe with resHacker:
open UIFILE 920:

Thanks. I'll bookmark it

Sorry for double posting.. but...

I guess this can't be done without patching...? So it can't be done by Msgplus.
If this is true, can someone plz remove [Suggestion] and move it to MSN/Windows Messenger?

Nooo... leave it here and hopefully Patchou will work out some way of doing it!
