It is on the bottom in the taskbar section.

Thanks

This can only be changed via scripting, there is no option within Plus to change the name that appears there.

Thanks djdannyp - I guess I will have to live with it.

This script will do what you've asked for

I may later develop it to offer more options, but for now you just run it and it will remove e-mail addresses and just leave the contact's display name showing in the taskbar

thanks a lot for this, really helpful!!

I have added this scripts and it shows that it is running in my preferences & options. However, after about 20 min the name on the task bar will change to the email address again. The only way it goes back to just the name is if i close the dialogue box and reopen.

Any suggestions? I am new to Plus and scripting so forgive me if I have no clue

There is no easy foolproof way to fix it.

The title of the window, and thus also what is shown on the taskbar button, is updated by WLM sometimes. And thus is changed back to the original title. The same happens with the title of the main contactlist window btw.

The script only changes the title once when there is a chatwindow created; it doesn't check if the title is changed again by WLM.

To catch this update/change in a foolproof way you should subclass the chat window. But that is not possible in WLM and Plus! scripting without resorting to an external DLL.

The next best thing you can do is to alter the title each 10 secs or so so that an update by WLM is changed again within 10 seconds. But that is rather resource intensive.
