Sorry if this has been answered - I searched - found some results - but there were over 17 pages - it was in the archives - and it probably is out of date now due to the upgrade to 6.2

It was suggested that MSN could be docked to the side of the screen, then when your mouse touched the edge, MSN slid out.
called "thedarktempler" I believe.

By MSN I mean the MSN / Windows Messenger Contact List.

Another thing I had in mind was MSN Docked to the side of the window - almost like a toolbar so that it was fixed and always there. This would most probably be a hinderence for people with only one screen / small screens.

I would use it as
1) I use MSN so much
2) I should be getting two screens soon

Mainly on the first though as this would satisfy as well.... any
comments....

nice idea =)

The Plus! docking feature just puts the window at the size of the screen. I mean, resizes to side of screen, then when another window is opened, it does not overlap the Contact List, just goes from one side to the other

Sorry - I did not know how to explain it.

VB Rocks - that's my progging lang

wut me wants its an auto-hide feature, likes the taskbar.  when not its not visable, then u can just move u mouse over to the side and it well "slide" out.
which i guess is one of hte things u talkn bout

I'm happy with the way MSN functions already....lol

I requested this feature in post: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22155

There are instructions on msnfanatic website, but i didnt understand them myself. http://www.msnfanatic.com/index.php?module=announ...op=view&ANN_id=184

If anyone knows how to do this could they let me know.

We do know that we can have a fixed already - tested darktempler - works fine - probably use it more when have 2 screens...

Has anybody any knowledge of a "sliding" window?

this add-on also features an auto-hide function! works great!
