Ok, So i did it guys!!! ... I am releasing a beta long before I expected... ... But here it is...

Beta Version 0.1..

Install Instructions:
Extract the zip file into the Plugins folder.. Run the "Install MCOAS.bat" and restart MSN Messenger...

What it is:
This a plugin that overrides the Banner Ad in MSN Messenger and puts a Media Controller panel ther instead...
So far only Winamp is supported, but more will be supported later...
You can, Play, Pause, Next Track, Previous Track (Back) and Stop, and you can see the current song playing...

Bugs:
I think I elimated most/all bugs, so I hope not big problems will occure... But if you find any bugs please report them here...
Sometimes the Media Controller does not override the Ad, but it shold do it most of the times... If it doesn't just close the MSN Window (Not Exit) and Reopen it again, after a Minimum of 1 second... If it doesn't fix the problem then try a few more tried, waiting a few seconds...

Graphics:
The grapichs SUCK!!!.. No colors or anything special or anything in this version.. But it will later... No background, and no pictures on the Buttons.. This will all be improved later and everything will be customizable.. This is only a quick beta release I made in a few hours... Also please note that due to the way MSG Plus! have the Win XP theme style support the buttons may look wierd on some Themes... Nothing I can do about this at the moment, will be fixed later when I make my own controls/buttons

To-do List:

- Customizable GUI (Backgrounds, Text color, button pictures etc.)
- Configuration Screen
- Support for more/other Media Players

Here you go!! ..Enjoy...

Please Report bugs, comments and ideas, BUT do not post ideas or bugs mentioned in this post(Read above: Graphics, Bugs, To-do list)....
Please READ THIS POST before posting anything that is already explained in this post/thread!!!... (This was especially noted to a certain BrOkEn)

The Media Controller is not shown.. .. Maybe I forgot to tell that in the top post.. But It needs to be a unpatched version... Not completly unpatched, just a non-Ad-remover-Patched version.. ... This also goes for the Ad-remover in Stuffplug-NG...

Edit:

Seems like I forgot to name the Plugin.. In the Plus! Plugins Configuration Screen... Will just Update the Plugin.. Nothing Serious thou...

Its a great great idea i think you should work on graphics a bit to make it more apellative tho.
* paperless installs

looks cool   definatly a better use of the space

Works great, haven't seen any problems with it yet

I LIKE IT!

schweet!
Might I ask how you did it ?
I'm working on it too, but I haven't had time to finish mine yet

i think he just uses the SetParent API to make a picturebox appear in the Ad window

nicee CyberDude once again, good job you really good!

Hope Itunes will be compatible in the final version althought i switched to winamp just to be able to use it! Anyway, good job man, keep em coming, we all appreciate it!
