O.P. [334] Windows Vista Aero effects and tabbed chats
Well here's another problem with tabbed chats and their representation in the Windows Open Window List. Just open 2 chats in a tabbed chat and press Win-Tab. You won't find the tabbed window in the 3D view displayed by Aero.

Another issue is that there is no window preview thumbnail when you hover the taskbar button for a tabbed window.

Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 (6.0.6001)
Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1018
Messenger Plus! Live 4.70.0.334
Skin: Apple Live Messenger 0.2.4

I remember Patchou saying that he disabled that on purpose because tabbed chats aren't very compatible with the thumbnails.

He also said that he would make a thumbnail for them, but he couldn't find any documentation for the DWM Thumbnails.

Blah, I was just wondering as I hadn't been using Vista before and thus no chance to see that. So sorry Sammie :P
