If somebody speaks German:

Ich hab da irgendwie einige Bugs bemerkt die micht bissl stressen.

1.) Die Desktopkontakte sind nicht immer im Vordergrund, nur manchmal!
2.) Wen man TABS nutzt blinkt nicht der Name unten der gerade was neues geschrieben hat, sie es bei 7.5 der Fall war, sondern der Name der gerade vorne ist.
3.) Die Funktion (!WAT) wurde zu (!MYMEDIA) aber zeigt wie winAMP Lieder nicht mehr an.

And now I try to explain it in engish

1.) The desktop contacts are not always in the foreground, only sometimes!
2.) Whom one TABS is of use flashes not the name below just what the new has written, she was it with 7.5 the case, but the name which just in front is.
3.) the function (!WAT) became to (!MYMEDIA) shows winAMP songs not more.

Sry for my poor english ^^

Edit:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0792
Messenger Plus! Live 4.0.0.235

Because my English is not good I have not looked whether the bugs already became posted, I ask this to forgive! ^^

1) Have you got 'Always on Top' enabled?
3) (!MYMEDIA) works by grabbing the information from the 'Now Playing' feature IIRC. You can get Winamp support for 'Now Playing' by using this script, or by downloading a WLM-compatible version of Toaster.

1.) Where can I do this? Oo
Plus!Options >> Messenger >> Desktopcontacts
There is nothing to do this...

3.) Its running with Now Playing!
But why is this all so damed complicated ._.
For 7.5 Plus! I don't need some scripts to show songinformations oO

I've found more bugs

1.) If I have more than one Conversationswindows open and TABS are on, and I maximize the chatwindow, it goes small of his own. I don't know why...

2.) I chat with contact A, B and C and TABS are on.
We adopt in the Taskbar user A is shown.
Suddenly in the Taskbar it open a new conversationswindow of his own although TABS are on.  I can't push it. MSN hangs and I must restart it.

It strained my nerves... everything full of bugs
I think I deinstall the Plus! Version


Edit: The Plus!-Version for MSN 7.5 was perfect. All this Bugs havn't exists.

Taskbar not showing the name of the person who messaged but name of last active convo:
The auto switching has been taken out for a reason...see Tabbed Chats - wrong contact

Always on top for desktop contacts:
- rightclick the desktop contact (that lil bar itself not in contactlist) and choose "always on top"

"always on top" is ticked off, but the contact isn't always on top.
If I start MSN they are all on top.
After considerable time they disappear.
Now I must maximize and minimise my other windows often.
Anytime I can see they again.
If I now double-click at one of it and the conversationwindow open, the contact is always on top.
But this even for a short time, then he has disappeared again.

Fantastically -.-
It's bloody stupid

One gets used to the good things of the plus! version and is glad about 8.0!
Then become the simply features take out. I have got used to it user with writes flashes, and not with I have written as the last.

If I on the user in the taskbar rightclick, was the lowest option earlier " topical chat window close" Now is " All chat windows close"! Why????
One has to do himself totally change -.-

I overlooked this one sorry...

That behaviour is caused by WindowBlinds (possibly other theming software for windows does the same), if you exclude WLM from WindowBlinds this won't happen anymore.

Please note that Plus!Live is rewritten from scratch...it works differently, things might be in different places or work completely different than you are used from Plus!3. All it takes is some getting used to, like you had to get used to WLM itself too. We are here to help you with any question/problem you might have.

What's WindowBlinds? I've never heard it before. And how do I exclude it?

It would be better if all features from the old Plus!-Version still exists . One can switch on and switch off them with "yes" or "no" in the settings.

For example the changing of the shown user by flashing.

If you have not heard of WindowBlinds, then you probably are not using it. Maybe you are using another program that is theming (skinning) the look of windows..have a look into excluding WLM in wichever one you are using.

Not all features from Plus!3 are in Plus!Live yet (not all will be in the end either) due to time needed for it etc. (that's what there's updates for), be happy there is a Plus! for WLM..as i said it has been recoded from scratch and lots works differently now...for that not only Plus! is to "blame" but WLM itself too.

If you had read the thread about the auto switching i linked to, you would have found a script to do what you want.

Where can I download MSN 7.5 and Plus!-Version?

The live Version is so nerved and full of bugs.
I can't explain all this in english and I don't want it to do.

I take the older Version so long untill the bugs are fixed.
