Hi again Patchou,

The opacity option for the contact list and conversation windows is great . Winamp has opacity options aswell, but it also has more (see below). You can make the window see-through, and then have it fade back into 100% opacity if you have the window in focus (by clicking on it) or if you hover your mouse over it. I think it's great for Winamp, but would be even better on Messenger, since you regularly have 2 or more conversation windows open.

Winamp opacity options:


So for example: you could set it up so the conversations that are out of focus would be see-though, but the conversation window that you're currently chatting in is opaque (not see-through). See below:



How about that Patchou, what do you think? I think it would add a great effect to Messenger. You could do the same with the contact list of course, which I'm sure lots of people would like .

Now that's what I call a good idea!
I'm behind it all the way

Great .

I'm worried about if it's possible or not though . But let's just keep our fingers crossed.

If Nullsoft can do it, so can Patchou.

This would be a better use for the see-through feature I am behind it too.

Yep, nice addition to the transparency feature. Definitely would use it

yip, great idea
i would use it

bhaaaa.... ok.... if I remember corretly,I didn't do it last time someone suggested it because I didn't had the space in the preferences panel to add this new option... I'll check this out again

Wicked! Me loves it

wow that looks AMAZING... maybe patchou could add some fancy transition from transparent to opaque too lol okay maybe im asking for too much now lol

It looks amazing. hope it goes well

I would so use this option! It looks amazing, I love it like this, patchou, you could possible change the height of the preferences panel slightly or something .

great idea =D hope it goes well, maybe add an option to have it go down to 0% opacity? or better yet have a slider AND a numerical way to set opacity

There's no point in having it go down to 0% opacity, that would just be the same as minimizing it.
