I had the weekend off to clear out my head... sort my thoughts and find a solution

i finished rewritting what was done upto now and also provided support for multiple monitors

so i would like some beta testign on multiple motitors or dock mode and autohide mode to make sure everything is in order

Also please check everything and anything to make sure that nothing was broken on the trasition

I am also leaving the 1rs post's attachment intact for the moment since the plugin has become stable, and i will be posting or hosting future betas somewhere else

thank you for your assistance

Thanks for the update man!

Just installed a moment ago and I'm loving the Options context menu there, could come in very handy when I can't be bothered to show the contact list but I still want to quickly change an option.

Will it be possible for other Plugin authors or you to add in options for other plugins to this menu? It's just that I access the StuffPlug options quite a lot and so it'd be useful to have them there.


But otherwise, good work, keep it up!

Well sure i can put access to the StuffPlug options if you can get permission from the author !!!

Unfortunately upto now i can only show Plus! preferences when the Contact List is open, i hope Patchou can give me a pointer to overcome this...

The complete list of changes would be...
-changes in my preferences dialog
-customised actions on left and middle clicks on the notification area
-the Options menu on the notification area context menu
-some basic implementation of a balloon tooltip, to accomodate for online contacts...

-more stable on plugin reload/unload/preferences change
-remove alt+tab icon when contact list in skin mode

-added version check ton load only on msn messenger 7
-fixed maximise, restore on dock mode

This update is very nice! I like the options menu in the system tray . For me this version works at the moment just as good as the previous one, so keep your fingers crossed that there are no bugs .

A balloon tooltip which shows your online contacts would indeed be a very cool idea!

Dont remember if i mentioned this before but as you have seen i have set a different minimum and maximum dimentions for the Contact list
i dont provide gui to adjust these values so you need to edit the ini in order to adlust them

This is for all of you that have tiny displays and dont have may space available

code:

---

[Contact List]
minwidth=205
minheight=300

Please check out the balloon tip feature... its not finished yet BUT

I want comments, bugs, suggestions

i dont have many contacts online so i cannot check
the balloon only appears when you are online...

use /xonline, use the hotkey, or set the tray actions to show the balloon

I am really exited and i am talking about NEWS
http://www.msgplus.net/news.php

Patchou has finally decided to embark on a journey to implemet tabbed conversations in the core of Plus! so i will be dropping the feature from the plugin, thank god i didn't begin the project

This will save me some time and let me concentrate on making the contact list and notification area more ergonomical, with the features already included in the plugin, now a big load of work has cleared off my head and the burden off my soulders

Thanks Patchou... (hope for a quick release !!!!!)

Can't seem to get the balloon to show, would I be right in saying that to get it up, all I should have to do is hover over the MSN icon?

ok first you need to got to the preferences and set the balloon display time to 10000 which is good for the ballon, i initially set that to 0 so...

also you may need to set the mouse button activities of middle button (i think i forgot to set it for the left, ill fix it tomorrow), to display the balloon

or you can use the /xonline command to show the balloon

make sure that you are signin in messenger and you have online contacts


TELL ME IF IT WORKS

The Balloon works very well , don't really see the use in it, but nice to see that it works

Btw, that minwidth was a livesaver

But somehow the transparancy feature still doesn't work well , I have to click ALT everytime I start msn to enable it.
