O.P. Messenger Plus & Tabbed convos...
First off I would like to say that judgin from the screenshots of the leaked beta, I love the tabs and love the fact they have finally been implemented. I have not downloaded it myself since it is a beta not intended for the general public. But I would like to contribute my 2cents to the idea...

First off I would like to see the tabs close on double click AND closed by middle click.

Also the taskbar button should have an option for a static text something along the lines of "# of conversations" or simply "Conversations".

Also maybe the adding of rows when one row has an "x" number of contacts. It will make it look cleaner.

Anyways thats my contribution.. hope it helps.


Edit:

A feature to "Close all other tabs" would also be well recieved .. I think :P

Also a way to organize the tabs in the bar. Move them at will... For example I have convesations going with "x" "y" and "z" I would like to able to organize them any way i want to, "z" "X" and "y"... Get the picture?

First of all: You are not meant to be using the leaked build of Messenger Plus!, still, it's no big deal. I mean, it's only beta..and really buggy...nothing bad will happen to your computer...

Second of all: Since you aren't a tester, your input isn't exactly going to be considered. This is much like Microsoft beta's. Only real beta testers have say on what is bad, what is good and what bugs exist.

And he's just giving suggestions that he likes that he doesn't see in the screenshots... so if they're there we don't know about them... I like the ideas... Especially the arranging them one that he demonstrated with X, Y, and Z... But I'm almost positive Patchou will have thought of that.

He talks about things he can't possibly know if he isn't using it. For example the taskbar button, asfar as i know there are no screenshots of that :mipdodgy:

I'm sure there are some somewhere... I haven't seen any either, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Not all people have a middle click button (wheel or otherwise) though ...

First rule of programming is probably be aware of your audience...  and yeah having browsed a few forums there are some screen shots available..
