Mike2:
This is awesome... :D.. I really like the idea and this could have a big potential I think!!!
As it is now, it doesn't seem as much.. but with some work I would love this!!! :D...
Heres some of my ideas:

- Tabbed convo's... :D.. With easy access to activate/deactive tabbed convo...
- Ataching/detaching indivdual convo's.. both tabbed and contained...
- Blink effect on new msg, or put an icon or whatever as TB does in StuffPlug NG...
- Making it a plugin...
- Getting the main window into the container as well... as the screenshot for Trillian shows... :D... This shouldn't be impossible...
- And some other small things to really make it cool plugin.. :D

would you Mike2 do this?.. would you be willing to take this project?... Would be awesome...

Cameno does it

Tabbed MSN a Msgplus Plugin does it

StuffPlug:Next Generation does it too.

This doesn't work in msn7 and the maker does not respond on posts about the error.

That installs loads of other stuff I don't/features I don't want or already available in plus...

If you have transparency on the Instant Message Windows and they are added into the container window all hell breaks loose. The conversation window is cut down (if using borderless convos) and until you remove transparency it isn't fixed. The other thing if you are using Set Parent to move them into the form then you should also do it for the MSN Messenger window then dock it to the right and resize the window to fit :)

I see what you mean with transparency...
Anyway, I can fix that by making the window opaque (did I typed that right?)
I dont think you can see many things in the window, can you?

None of Stuffplug NG's features is already included in msgplus!!! Of course TB would not make any features that was already in the program that SPNG requires!... One thing is that SPNG would have some features that you might not use.. But don't say that SPNG has features already in MSGPlus... that is wrong!...

The transperency issue also goes for SPNG's tabbed convo's... seems like transperancy using msgplus is causing a few problems.. would be cool if it works making it opaque... :P...

RE: Looking for a 'container' or tabbed conversation plugin
I have started working on tabs.
I like your idea about having two or more conversation windows in one tab.
I don't know about blinking...
It is possible but it's a bit hard...
I dont think windows provides me an API to know if a window is flashing...
And if it did, I would have to check every once a while all the open conversation windows to see if one of them is flashing which would slow down your system...
Actually, I have something in my mind to do this, but I'll check it later...
Let me finish the tabs first :D

Making a plugin...?
Well, I'm making it currently as a standalone program because making a plugin would be kinda pointless at this time (compiling to see if works etc...)
But I'll see in the future about making it a plugin...


Anyway, I'll see what I can do :D

The bad thing is that I also got some homework to do (they are not much) but my parents I believe will start to say do your homework, do your homework!
The good thing is that schools start on 10th of January :D

The messenger api allows you to know when a msg have been recieved.. or at least if you do it as a plugin using msgplus API... :D:D... So if you make it as plugin sometime it can be done... just wait with this until you create it as plugin... but I think you get many advantages using MSGPlus API... but they aren't really usefull in this kinda program/plugin.. but when you finally decide to make it a plugin the blinking/icon would be possible... :D...

Yeah, homeworks sucks!!! and parents sucks too!! :P... LOL!
