Many people are posting about Tabbed chats not working, I thought it would be best to make a thread to list the problems and give information on each, and add any fixes that become available.



Alt + tab/Win + tab(Flip3d)

What: Windows Vista and 7 have features which display images of the applications being used, unfortunately due to how Messenger Plus! (Live) adds Tabbed chats, these features do not work.



Why: This is because MP! makes the conversation window invisible, this means there is no thumbnail for Windows to display.

Affects: 4.8 and lower versions of MP!

Fix: Fixed in 4.82, along with better Win7 integration.

Taskbar Thumbnails

What: Windows Vista and Windows 7 both have the ability to display thumbnails of applications above the taskbar, however due to the same incompatibility as above, these don't work.

Why: This is because MP! makes the conversation window invisible, this means there is no thumbnail for Windows to display.

Affects: 4.8 and lower versions of MP! to date, on Windows Vista and 7.

Fix: Fixed in 4.82, along with better Win7 integration.

Menu Bar Issues in WLM9

What: Messenger Plus! Live tabs are hidden by the menu bar in Windows Live Messenger 2009.

Why: This is because the Tabs are currently drawn under the menubar.

Affects: MP!L Version 4.79.0.353 on WLM 2009

Fix: Fixed in MP!L Version 4.80+

No Tabbed Chats on RTL versions.

What: Tabbed Chats options disabled/greyed out on Right-To-Left versions - Such as Arabic or Hebrew.

Why: This is due to the RTL versions being programmed differently and as such Tabbed chats do not work.

Affects: All MP! versions to date.

Fix: No fix expected.




If you have anything to add, or there are any mistakes, feel free to PM me.

Also, would it be possible for a someone to stick this? Thanks.

No, Windows XP doesn't (unless you use an Alt-Tab replacement)

i think his point is that 4.80 is out now so you should change the initial post otherwise people will get confused and think that it's still happening, when in reality it isn't.....that bit can just be removed...basically the only things now are no previews and no tabs in RTL

No, because if someone on an older version has this problem, then comes to look for an answer, it wouldn't be there, then they'd post a thread and be told to upgrade to 4.80, defeating the entire purpose of this thread.

Even so, the post should be changed to read 'Fixed in 4.80' rather than 'Will be fixed...', as it has already been fixed, leaving it as 'will be fixed' might lead people to think that 4.80 isn't out yet
