Desktop Contacts by Andre on 02-18-2005 at 03:08 PM

I'm sure i've got a similar "setup" to most people that use the desktop contacts feature. I've just got them in the bottom right hand corner and only appear on the desktop, not above programs. Now what i'd like is for it to autominimize them all and when i hover my mouse along that bottom right hand stretch of the screen for them to popup back again. This would make it much nicer and clutter your desktop up less (mine anyway because with 2 contacts it was alrite but i now have 5 on the desktop) and it'd be a nice feature.

Oh and what happened to the Messenger Plus icon appearing when you hovered over contacts on the main MSN screen? I'm using both the MSN Messenger 7 beta and the Messenger Plus beta.

Seeing as in the Messenger 7 beta releases (not counting 7.0.0604) the contact icon and the icons for statuses, blocked people etc. are separated, there was no place for it anymore. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere Patchou was working on something related to this though.

Due to the private Messenger 7 beta having changes to this with the status now going back onto the messenger icon, will the feature be more likely to make a comeback?
