O.P. Backgrounds?
I miss being able to see my background take up the whole chat window, now it just takes up the chat box. Is there any way to fix this or am I stuck with it? I'm really not liking this new version of Plus! There's way less in the way of personal customization of everything!

You mean, Windows live Messenger new version... Plus! is just an add-on.
Yes there is a "fix", skinning =)

I've tried the skin, it didn't want to run on my msn. And on top of that, I didn't really care for any of the skins. I like my backgrounds. Why did they have to update it? It's like facebook updating it's page. Don't fix what isn't broken.

It was the Sweeney Todd one and it's the newest update of WLM and I'm pretty sure the most current of Plus!

Only the skins here: http://www.msgpluslive.es/skins/by-date
and the first 7 here: http://www.msgpluslive.es/skins/by-date/page2/
are compatible with the latest WLM.

Of course if the skins provided don't have the ability to do that, they won't be useful for you, what blessedguy meant was that with skinning you could probably do something, but you have to make your own skin.

Exactly robert_dll =P
But you can still get a skin you like and manually go to the skin's folder and change the backgrounds, but then you would not be allowed to share it. =)
