O.P. Per Contact Font Overriding
Only certain fonts have spammy dark/light annoying fonts - why should that mean when I override them they should all be the same? A useful feature would be to extend the font-override function to a per-contact basis.

RE: Per Contact Font Overriding
Although I would like that too, such a feature can be scripted quite easly since there is an item "Overide contact's font" in the Plus! menu in each conversation window.

Using the PostMessageW Windows API to send a WM_COMMAND message to the chat window with the correct command id (7408) you can trigger that menu on or off depending on what contact you're talking too [*] (the default state of the menu when you open a chat window can be known from the registry key FontOverrideDefault).

Throw in a nice interface to select the contacts for which you want to override their fonts (and even reusing the registry settings for the font-override preferences in Plus!) and you have the feature.

More about this in some threads in the scripting forum, iirc...

;)

Oh cool, but my scripting knowledge is limited, and it seems logical to have it as a developed feature in Plus! than to be an expanded feature with a script though. :P
