Just a little notice that I made a little script to display status icons (for you as well as contacts) yesterday. I'm adding a few options to it when I get home from work. You will hopefully eventually be able to use 8.5 or 9.0 icons independent of WLM version and hopefully be able to set any icons you wish (more advanced users really I feel)

ATM, it uses LoadIcon, but seeing as it's deprecated, I'll take a look at LoadImage as well.

Cool! Will be interesting to see

has any1 tried this under Windows 7 and WLM9?

Doesnt work for some reason, when the jumplist appears for the contacts, it just shows the default WLM icon..

Unfortunately i cannot post any screenshots as am not using W7 on this computer..

IIRC, the actual taskbar icon will only show your status. The other window icons do actually change though. At work at the moment so I can't test it. I never actually got around to adding an options window to my script, might carry on a bit tonight with it

managed to get a screenshot.. see what i mean..

the contact am talkin to is busy.. but the icon in on the left in the jump list or wtv MS calls it.. is not the busy one..

my status icon (away) though correctly appears in the taskbar..

sry for my bad english..

My script changes that It sets both the big and small icon, meaning that should change too

ive tried it but it doesnt work

tried setting small icon in the WLM9 options, as weel as the medium, but still no icon change in the W7 jumplist
