I was thinking about a cool feature... maybe you can add a checkbox to give as caption of the start button the nickname of the current user ... Would be cool :)
So your script has to check the name at each signin using the SignIn evenement.
This is a simple line of code :P
var StartMenuCaption := Messenger.MyName;

See you ;)

How about checking at each name change *-). Also asking your Nickname do you want to change StartButton Caption or not.

Nice Script, but sadly the theme i'm using doesn't have a start button caption [Image: msn_sad.gif].

Setting your nickname as the start button caption could be kind of cool, except I think the start button can not change it's width so the string gets truncated after the first 4-6 characters.

PS - Tried to check this just with my acount and the script is doing anything for me now I've got the new updated version

it can't auto-resize itself no, but it can be sized using MoveWindow and stuff.

Thats cool then if it can work. I always used to think it was an image until I found a program that did it. Makes you wonder why MS put a function in to change it :p

They didn't add a function to change it, they just made it text rather than an image so that it can be changed for different languages.  Its just changed using a standard Windows API function, SetWindowText.
