Have fun with this little plugin - it's my first.
Suggestions are welcome.


------UPDATE------
Nick Changer Plugin for MSN Messenger Plus 3
SmashD_NickChanger.dll V1.6.9
Additions are bold.


Now with predefined styles and more...
Up to ten configurable user styles!
Usage:

/xnickset       Show Configuration window for quick select a nick
        Just click on the nick from the list you want to use
        and click "Set nick"

/xnickset xxx  (where xxx is you're Nickname you want to create)
        Pre-defines the nick as xxx to quick-select a style
        and save it to your list

        Alternate Method: Type your nick into the text box.

/xnickshr       Share your nicknames and decos with your conversation
        partner       

/xnickabt       Show up the About box with visual realtime effects        


- slot number of nick/deco is automatically changed to the selected one
  so you can edit your configuration much easier.

If you want to save a nick or deco be sure to define the slot number!

I've aactually done something similar in my NickMem plugin, but implemented differently. I use a dialog box to show the (unlimited size) central store.

Forms in VB are easy: just add a Form module.
In C++ however, it is harder, and something I haven't managed to get to work yet.

As for the help part, it tells you how to do it in the plugin API documentation.

SmashD NickChanger v1.5.1

Totally rewritten version of v1.1
To see some functions look at the attached screenshot...
Be sure to check the About Box for Realtime Visual Basic Effects.

Hope you'll have fun with this.

Any suggestions? Just say it - I will implement it! (if I can...)

Looking good! I like the auto-embellish feature particularly, although it'd be good if you could add custom embellishments.

The development state you yee here is the work of just one day / 3 or 4 hours... So more customizable versions will come soon if you wish to. =)


EDIT / UPDATE:

Version 1.6.9 is ready!

Following the suggestion I've implemented some functions:

-up to 10 personal decorations beside the 10 pre-defined
-slot number automatically changes to the selected nick/deco, so you can easily edit your nicks/decos
-Deco's are saved in the INI file too
-Nicks and Decos are shareable with your conversation partner by sending the command /xnickshr
