For all of you who are still wandering what the plugin actually does:
- fix frame hiding (retrieve lost white space)
- windows snapping to edges
- true window docking and auto-hide to the screen edges
- hides contactlist taskbar buttons... yay
- disable flashing of windows and taskbar button when message is recieved
- auto close the contact list
- modify tray window mouse activities
- remember keyboard layout of each conversation
- opaque windows on mouse over where Plus! has set transparency
etc...
- right click menu (as the drop-down menu) but activated anywhere else.

Any changes will depend on the feedback i get on this...

- disable flashing of windows and taskbar button when message is recieved

OH GOD!!! yes please!!! i hate that thing. my double sized taskbar gets put infront of what im working on every 2 seconds when im in a convo. i cant stand it. this i want

hope everything works out and you can release it soon.

I am also very much looking forward to this. I only had two plugins for Plus 3.6 - Stuffplug and Window manager. I really miss the docking feature, and filling the entire height of the screen. I wish I could help with the preferences. Good Luck!

I'll be keeping an eye for this -

me too!

Unfortunaly, I dont know regex to help.  Just Photoshop, and other design programs.

If you want to see how to do plus windows then feel free to download my script (Google Utiltities) as it was made primarily for this reason.

The whole thing is documented and the GUI code + GUI design (xml files) are seperated from the actual google code.

This would be amzing, this is the only left that my boss might see. I so hate the flashy taskbar

I will keep an eye on this one

This sounds awesome
Wish I could help but I don't know squat about it

Hey thanks for the interest,

Matty has helped me a lot with the preferences interface, and i am in the process of loading/saving settings from the plus interfece

the plugin is almost complete most features have been already added back except of the balloon tip.

Once i get preferences working i should be able to post a beta version

-Taz

This is even better than i thought! Been looking for a autodock script/plugin since the release of the first WLM beta. I used Window Manager back in the days and i Loved it.. Litterally. So...Keep up the good work ninja!

I've been using the windows manager forever, I'm thrilled to see it back in WLM, can't wait

looking forward to this and screenshot sender 4 the most

How far are you from the release, Taz?

Can't wait for this. Keep us posted plz.

Yeah, long time no see Taz, keep us informed please, im really thinking of changing back to 7.5 otherwise just because of this!

This sounds really good, useful that's for sure.

Any updates on how this is going guys?

Hey people sorry for the delayed update...

I'll have a release candidate version released probably by the end of next week, some fine turning left to do, when time permits...

The links show up blank for me...

EDIT:

Adding www. before the URL makes them show up . You should edit your post...

whats the resource usage with this? does it eat away on ram?
its looking great
thanks

It doesn't help adding www., you gotta refresh the page once to see the images

I just removed the "http://" in each.

well, i know that. i mean of your script. does it increase ram usage by much? it seems very feature packed, so i thought maybe it does.

i cant wait. looking like one of the best scripts.
thanks

OK ppl happy hour...

I have put much effort last night, and i have compiled a version, this was much quicker than i thought...

Thing is that i must fix as much as possible by the end of next week, as  I will not be able to work much on the project after that fro a long time, so i decided to release this version now to get as much feedback as possible.

Any changes will depend on the feedback i get on this...

Download here

so spread the news and give it a shot now...

The script is GOOD from the little time i have used it but it would be nice if it was user dependant coz other people in my family dont want it how i have it. but it is a good script i love it

My first impression of this script: amazing!

I never used Window Manager but i must say i do like the autodocking. I also turned on "Activate window menu-bar on mouse hover" but setting the milliseconds stays disabled..bug?

Ohh yeh another thing wich might not be as intended: when choosing "load plugin module" WLM crashes. Is this ment to happen forcing a restart of WLM?

Very very nice script Congratulations of a job well done
Try editing the original post to have the download link aswell

It's an awsome script but what about adding this to the end of Enhancer.js so that you don't have to reload the script so ofter, it will do it for you.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd)
{
    DllPlugin_Unload(plugin);
    DllPlugin_Load(plugin);
}
function OnEvent_ContactListWndCreated()
{
    DllPlugin_Unload(plugin);
    DllPlugin_Load(plugin);
}

I like how it gets rid of the deadspace around the windows, but if I press alt to show the menu in the conversations, it gives the whle window a frame like a standard window, and i cant move the window around or anything. It's kinda weird to reproduce, but try pressing alt, or pressing alt and fiddleing with a menu. Great script though .

Awesome script, I love it! Be sure to submit it.

A few suggestions:
- Make it possible to apply "activate window menubar on hover" to contactlist only.
- Make "Animate on show | hide" work in default and dock modes too (if possible)
- Minimum dimensions of the coversation window doesn't seem to go any smaller in width than around 275 pixels, even if you enter lower.

Another idea in addition to those of MenthiX would be to have opacity of windows on focus as well as mouse over (like both selected at once or the choice of either).

I love the script, except of the fact that I can't seem to get the coolest feature working: auto-hiding the contact list!
Can someone tell me how to get it working, or what I can do about it?

It should work automatically. If not then in the preferences, click on contact list. Under miscellaneous settings make sure the auto-close checkbox is ticked and add 1 or specified number to time interval.

Mattike, make sure you tick last option in the square in Contact List Customization....i strugled with it at first too then finding i needed last option ticked (about menu)..

Thanks for the help, but I now get a very weird border around my contact list:

It goes on and off every second, the same interval as the auto-hide should hide.

Err... anyone knows how this can happen?!

Hmm is your contactlist anywhere near an edge of the screen (should be)?

Yes, it's in the very bottom right corner of my desktop...

Well... I really liked the idea but nothing works here!

I really don't know why, I've tested all the functions of the script and none of them seem to work here.

The only thing that happens sometimes is the messenger being shutdown.

I'm not sure if there ever were such feature as auto-hide/show when mouseover, like there were in WindowManager, i just cant find it anyway.
Just like Firehalk says theres seems to be quite a problem because almost every combination of options i've tried results in a frame around the contactlist which disappears and reappers every third second or so. Even tried to reinstall WLM and plus and removing all scripts and stuff. though nothing works

You guys shouldnt select any of the Advanced menu options, those are just for me to debug the plugin module....

You should only use Preferences... and About.

Unloading the module defeats all the purposes of the script/plugin
and Loading it for a second time should crash Messenger.

So just leave those menu items alone (on second thought i will comment them out on release)

Regarding markee's edit to the script i still can understand why he wants to unload and reload the module when a window is created, as the plugin module detects that internally and does not require any script events.

I have noticed the frame (no move) thing you do with alt and stuff, i'll try to get it fixed.

Animate is and will be only available for auto-hide

I will implement separate settings for auto-menubar for contactlist and or conversations.

For the conversation there are minimus internal failsafe dimensions so that you dont break things up....

I will see what i can do with transparency and focus.


Note HOW the Auto-hide feature works...
1. For autohide to work the menubar must be hidden or select the Force option to hide the menubar and then hide the window.
2. The window in Auto mode must be attached to a screen edge. If you select a side in options then the window will autohide even if it is not attached to a screen edge.
3. If you select the Focus option as well then the timer only starts after teh window has lost focus.

For all of you who cant get it to work please post your border width as found in the (right-click) Preferences > Appearance > Advanced
Active/Inactive Window Border (i have set it to 1)

oops. got it to work. auto hide i mean.
took a few applys and oks and restarts, but now it works. its cool.

GREAT script. i love that the task bar finally cant bother me anymore.

Is there a chance that this isnt compatible with the swedish verision of WLM, the latest avalible. Just realized that there isnt a "(right-click) Preferences > Appearance > Advanced"
Gosh, i feel stupid. Theres probably just something i missed somewhere.

Oh. Yeah. Right.Touché....never mind me.
It says italso has 1 at active/Inactive Window Border.
Still cant get it to work. perhaps i should try it on my sis's computer or something just to exclude the fact that it would be my preacious that causes this.

Activate window menu-bar on mouse hover

that is a global wait timer to activate hovering (ie. how much time does the mouse have to stay over the window to activate hoveing)

it is supposed to avoid unwanted window unfolding while in autohide mode...

this is not implemented yet, it will be implemented later, thats why it is disabled

I have the same problem as Markee, when I tick the option to make windows opaque on mouse hover, it works for all open windows,  but when I create any new window, they stay opaque, unless I reload the DLL. As if the new windows don't inherit these settings...
Markees solution should work for the moment, but it is really annoying

But besides that, Great script

i find that it still docks to the top or bottom of the screen when set to default and Dock doesn't resize the desktop envionment

This is just a beta, so really i understand that it isnt working perfectly yet, though im seriosly startin to worry that i am just a complete idiot because i cant get it to work AT ALL. The only difference is that i (and it took a lot of precison-work) got it to auto-dock...for a while.

I've feel like tried everything from disabling all other scripts and processes to "Go Go Auto-hide! DAMN! Uhm...Hide sesamy!..please?....whyyoulittlestupid********"

I think I have perhaps found a Bug.

I have this script installed, for a few days now, I do like it. Ok, onto the Bug.

Messenger is running with Plus! Live and your script enabled, with the following options Enabled in your script:

General - enable flashing when a message is received, Snap windows to screen edges (in pixels) [5]

Contact List - Default, animate on show | hide, auto-hide even when menu bar is visible

Advanced - Left mouse button click (Open Contact List), Middle moust button click (Default)

Never touched the Min Demonsions, and Remember keyboard layout between conv is Enabled.

Weird Bug: right click on your desktop, click properties, apperance - advanced - now change your Active Title Bar Size +1 Size or -1 .. up or down, I don't think it matters.

I get an Error, Rundll32.exe - unable to locate component blah blah
MSVCR80.dll not found, re-installing the application may correct this .. whatever

Anyway, I closed out everything I had running, Google Talk and Messenger Live with Plus! Live. Tried to change the Title Bar again & it worked, opened up Google.. still able to resize, opened up Messenger with Plus! Failed, got that Error Message, Disabled the Enhancer script, and resizing Title Bar worked again.

I was using .NET 2.0 Framework, until I just uninstalled it to see if that had anything to do with it. But it did not apparently. & my System is fully up to date I believe. Mess Patch applied & also A-Patch, to shorten Status Info in Convo Window. My Themes Service.. is disabled, not sure if that matters.

wow, sounds great.. I'll have to give this a try for sure.

I don't know if this happen to you guys, but I find it worth mentioning even though may be only my case. Interested in the auto-docking feature, I downloaded the script, only to find that the default options are horrible (which may seem so only in my opinion) and that the performance of WLM, together with Plus! Live, drops very significantly.

I'd say that you should try to make the default options what users will find WLM to be without the plugin first, and try improving the perfomance. I have 2GB of ram here and even so my WLM was acting like it is not responding. This is not the quality for release candidate, I'd say. An alpha would be a more appropriate term.

I also found reponse time to be quite slow with some things, especially the menus (the plus one from the plus symbol was the most significant and noticable).

I think if you made minimal changes as the default preferences this would be best so people do not get too overcome by such big changes that they may not want.

---

Laserjesus,

I'm feeling like you! I can't get it to work at all... I've tried everything, but it seems that the script doesn't like me.

The only thing that worked here is the shortcut to show my contact list pressing the mouse middle-button.

good and intresting script maybe a option to remove the icon from the thingy the >>>thing on the bottom right of the screen ......i think its dock bar..i dont no correct me if im wrong

Nice script, should certainly put it on the database. all the features are great, good job!

i agree. working great for me. hope the bugs can be ironed out that the others are experiencing. im having no problems so far.
thanks

It kind of sods me off that this thing works for everybody else, but not for me (and oh. yeah, Firehalk aswell).

Firehalk, where are you from, sweden? Perhaps it's something with different country-verisions of WLM or something?
Im using:
Windows Live Messenger
Verision 8.0 (Bygge* 8.0.0812.00)
*Bygge is a lousy swedish translation for "build" (or at least i think so ?

Laserjesus,

I'm from Brazil.

Here I'm using:
Windows Live Messenger
Versão 8.0 (Compilação 8.0.0787.00)

Compilação and Bygge (in your language) is the same as Build.

I don't know why this happens... but it seems that it's just with our messengers (?!) 

Do either one of you have Zone Labs Firewall installed? Sometimes they will block subclassing.

Nope, dont have any kind of software firewall/AV-program. (Stupid, yeah i know).
Firehalk, obviously (if you have the latest avalible) the "builds" aren't the same everywhere, so perhaps it has to do something to do with it? What do you think guys?

Well, if it's true, everyone that said it works would have the same build or is from USA/some place close to it.

I don't believe this is the cause of this problem, but who am I to affirm such a thing? Don't know. I just don't think this is the reason, because just me and you that told that problem (and I don't think that the engine of the program or something like that can change that much from build to build.)

Anti spyware maybe?

Nah, no spyware either. At least i dont think so?
I've tried to disable all non-systemcritical processes in windows and all that stuff. So no, i dont think so Gosh this thing is annoying

I'm using the english version of Windows Live Messenger (Build 8.0.0812.00). I downloaded it from here.

For me the Enhancer script is working fine without any problems (sorry guys ). You did again a very nice job, TazDevil !!!

I made a small report of what is happening here.

I am not criticizing the script, just supplying information.

Really enjoyed the idea, its a shame it doesn't work here

_________

In order of menus:


GENERAL:

- "Display animation rectangles on minimize, maximize, restore" - seems ok, except when I minimize (it keeps the default way)

- "Enable flashing when a message is received" - Works. When I disable, it stops flashing.

- "Snap windows to screen edges (in pixels)" - to be sincere, I didn't understand what this feature do.


- "Make transparent windows opaque on mouse hover" - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it works, it first turns my window completely black during less than 1 second and then the window gets transparent.

- "Active window menu-bar on mouse hover" - I didn't not understand this too. Is it suppose to show the menu bar when it's set to be hidden and the mouse is near the end of the window (at the topmost area)? If the answer is yes, it doesn't work here.


CONTACT LIST:

None of the features work here.
When I set to "Auto-hide" even when I try different combinations, it makes my messenger becomes crazy: when my mouse cursor is out of the contact list area, my messenger window keeps flashing in a crazy way. (always this happens)

- "Auto-close" - just in the first time of use it works, so I can say it doesn't work (at least here).
* "Hid taskbar button" has the same problem.


ADVANCED:

- "Left mouse button click" is set to "Open my contact list" but it doesn't open;
- "Middle mouse button click" is set to "Auto sign in" and it works perfect.


(Sorry for any write error)

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that now I'm using the last messenger build: Build 8.0.0812.00.

odd!
very odd.
every single feature works for me and has no effect on wlms performance.
i must be lucky.

Well I had some trouble where it seemed not to work, but i changed the options and it did... Dunno what was up.

Cloudy

I think I got the wierdest bug of all.

Check out these screenshots.

I imported it, but no options to configure it. Where do I go to configure it?

click on your plus! button in the contact window, and it should say 'Enhancer' in its Menu, or the plus! button in one of your contacts convo windows.

Nope no dice, nothing there.

what, u dont have the plus logo at the top of your contact list page?

I do but there's no enhancer option in the plus menu is what I'm saying.

are there any other script menus there?

Taz, is it possible to implement a feature som when you pull your pointer to the edge of the screen, the contactlist shows and then hides when loosing focus. Like it was back in "Window Mangager" Or perhaps that's the way it works for the rest of u guys?

This is a very nice plugin, but as of my experience, it is far from RC1. It has a lot of nice, but rather complicated features, that mess up some (visual) things in messenger. What I experienced very ofthen (but not always), is a menu bar being displayed without reason on maximising/restoring window size. Also, some of other small visual "bugs" that are nor really fatal, but just a bit irritating...
Functionality of some features wasn't really really clear to me, even after testing.

Please, do not think of this post as of something negative, because I like this script really a lot, and the features you introduced are really nice, but as I have experienced it, this script is rather far from RC. Look at this post as to critics from someone who have tried the plugin and who liked it a lot, only experienced some difficulties with it

2 really very nice features you introduced that were a lot of use for me:
- remember keyboard layout for each convo
- minimum window size

Thanks anyways, I hope plugin will be less buggy in the future Keep up the work!!

Open the preferences window.
Go to contact list.
Click between "seconds)" and the textbox. The combo box of Advanced pops up.

Good job

I haven't read thru the thread, but I have come across an issue. When I disable the snapping to windows edge (setting it to 0) it leaves an empty space on the right of my screen. Here is how I can reproduce it everytime:

- Enable this script
- Set snap to 0
- Minimize messenger (to taskbar, not the icon)
- Reopen it and you will have an empty space on the far right where you can click the window behind messenger.

Could you fix this please?

Was an issue with the skin I was using...

How do I install this? Is it an extension? I tried to put it in the extension directory but it doesn't show up as a extension.

is it still under development?

changing the colour of the flashing taskbar would be such an awesome update
I hope this can be incorporated into a later version

So, how is the development going?

If possible with scripts...

Would you beable to add an option to reorganize the dashboard buttons? Or better yet... add/remove some?

I can't figure out how to get to the options for this script.  I don't see any logo for Plus! on my window.

(I hate not being able to figure things out for myself ;_

::EDIT::  I got some help, and got it to work (My own idiocy was the problem)

I love this script.  I got it purely for the option of letting me set the minimum size of a window (FINALLY!), but I'm playing with the other options right now.

Hi there,

I really like your plugin. I do, however, have some problems. When Enhancer is loaded, I cannot resize the WMLive windows. As soon as I do that, WMLive stops responding. It hides (due to docking), but I cannot click on anything, not even menus.

Only killing the process works. If I disable Enhancer, I can resize without problems. What could the problem be. The only other plugin I am using is Screenshot Sender.

I hope Taz continues work on this script cause this is one of my favorite ones, but he hasnt posted on this thread for a while

hey ppl sorry for not posting here for a long time, i'm just
posting to let everyone know i am still alive ,
development was non-existent all this time due to college

please redownload and reinstall the file from my site
i made a quick fix (don't have much time to check the
code again for other improvements, i'm in the middle of
recovering the pc from format c: )

* hopefully i have fixed the startup crash (__stdcall issue)
* plugin now reads plus! worker file (MsgPlusLive.dll) from
registry, because this files may change due to installation
of plus! over the existing installation when messenger is running
* in about you can see separately the script and plugin versions

(this are the reasons why ppl have reported not working)
but please do post if you still have problems...

PS: to update remove the previous version first.

regarding improvement of exiting features and new ones
more dev. will be done after about a month, when i'll have
more time available.

(too bad i wont be able to work on the script so i can  enter
for the script contest, or should i enter it as is anyway ?)

/edit
hmm time to change my sig

I can't get the configuration window for this script to load. Where is it?

type
/enhancer in a conversation window

or through the popup menu when you click the plus icon ...

Hmmm, it works for me, try unistalling it, and reinstalling it, then see what happens. BTW, the preferences are located under the Plus! menu, or type "/enhancer" (without quotes)

Script Changes
- This version finaly introduces an update checker. (thanks to Matty)
- Menus and commands are dynamically loaded
- The Debug menu (for loading, unloading the plugin module) is now shown only when the Debug window is visible.
- About window now shows separate strings for plugin and script versions

Please remember to Remove the previous version before Importing the new version!

updater currently works each time you sign in, but is subject to change, if you think it is too much comment the line
    UpdateCheck(0);
on Event Singin, you can still manually check if there is an update through the menu

It is working fine for me.  Maybe you have some other problem with it.

do you have the latest version from my site? (script 3.0.8, plugin 3.0.10) I think, i'm not home right  now...

what is the error message you get, can you reproduce with no other scripts running?

also what os are you using 2000/xp or vista 32/64 bit, i'm not sure whether it should run flawlessly on vista

please expand so I can work out a solution...

suggestion:
i don't want my windows to become opaque when my mouse goes over them just less transparent
possible?
but kool script m8

yeah could be done, just  need to find room to sqeeze a trackbar in prefs

the opaque level will be the same for all windows when hovered tho

Done a quick search through the thread, and can't see any mention of the glitch this seems to put on the minimize function.  When this script is running I cannot minimize the main window if the taskbar button is hidden.  Works as expected when the taskbar button is present.

Also is there any way of making conversation windows opaque when they have focus, be it selecting them with alt tab, etc?

Appologies if this is repeating people, but I've skimmed it and searched it, but I am kinda tired so probably missied this already...

Cheers

If there is no taskbar button, there really is no point in having a minimise button. Simply no focus of the WLM window and it'll disappear.

Though I have another bug to submit.

Sometimes on odd occassions, I cannot alt-tab any of my convos into focus. The WLM green dude is not available in the alttab window and thus I have to manually click it to get it into focus. However, once I do get it into focus, alt-tab works. Currently I haven't been able to replicate the bug myself but it  just does occur on random occassions.

29-12-2006 - v3.0.17.18
- new version string (Major, Minor, Script, Module dll) for easier update checking
- automatic update now checks for new version once a week (every 7 days)
- fixed typo in preferences
- fixed activation hotkey registration issue 
- default keyboard language can be overridden through the registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Scripts\Enhancer\Settings
OverrideKeyboardLayout a DWORD value -> English US layout is 0x04090409, all valid layouts can be found in your debug output window)
- fixed contactlist positioning and sizing after minimize/restore (with autohide on)
- fixed window frame changes after minimize/restore (reported by kvnhmmd as well as others)

Jexel check if this version solves your focus issue...
It might be related to kvnhmmd's bug so...

its been a while since i touched some the code so i dont know if something else has broken... Please check and let me know

i will submit this version to the database (because it takes a couple of days to be updated) but i will enable the automatic update in a couple of days later if nothing is reported here.

TazDevil

Thread is TL;DR.

Any idea what causes this? It only happens when i minimize a conversation and open it again. Also, when i chose the show menu on hover option the menu wouldn't go away, at all.

I think I have fixed that, does it still occur with v3.0.17.18 ?

it was an issue that needed different frame handling between convos and contact list with out tabbed chats enabled.

make sure you get it from the link pointing to my site (once it goes live again) and not the script database as its not updated yet.

by the way what does TL;DR mean?
never mind i found out.

Sweet, thanks for this cool script .

A couple of wishlist (if other users also need this):
Tray Icon changer,
Tray Hint changer

What you think?

Works fine!
Very thank you for notification tab, very useful

And override the tray tooltip works only after wlm restart, but it's ok

Is a mess that I can use enhancer anymore

the contacts window autohiding does not work. email tooltip neither. contacts windows free resizing also not working. when menu is not showing all buttons in the right topmost area (minimize, makimize, always on top ecc) disappear and only menu button remains. so enhancer does not work for me..

yes mate ... I was very adapted to enhancer... now that I can not use it... is a shame...

i have improved the tooltip override issue
get v3.0.18.21 and tell me if it still crashes for you

With this new update, the single click on the systray icon to open the contact list doesn't work. And middle click to close it doesn't work either.

I'm not sure about anything else, but those are really the only things I use . Is it just me, or do others have this problem?

I have uninstalled the script, and reinstalled if that makes a difference...

For me, everything works great
except close button in preferences

I use WLM 8.1.0168.00
and MP! 4.11.0.254

My setup is almost the same as warmth:

StuffPlug Version 3.0.286 (this is the exception)
MsgPlus Version 4.11.0.254
Windows Live Messenger Version 8.1.0168.00
Operating System Windows XP Home

Still doesn't work .

Hmmm
maybe there is an incompatibility with StuffPlug then, please try without StuffPlug and tell me if you are using 32bit or 64bit Windows

yeah the full screen issue annoys me as well... i'll try to resolve it.

i have last wlm beta, last mp!live version, stuffplug and xp pro.
but even without stuffplug it doesn't work at all!

I unistalled the Stuffplug and was the same history... but maybe I missed some info that now I saw can be the problem... When I installed your script I went into the LE preferences and I changed the tooltip display form... original is:

code:

---

%origianal%
email: %email%

---

code:

---

WLM - %email% (%status%)

---

if you go here
http://ioannis.mpsounds.net/blog/?page_id=3&page=2
will will see some pictures from the old version of the plugin... but the auto-hide feature is the same

What the auto-hide feature actually does is that it will put your contactlist window to any edge of the screen to a 2pixel strip (so it will be out of your way) and then you can restore the window by hovering the mouse over that 2pixel strip (like teh animated picture.

For auto-hide to work thou the contactlist must be attached to one of the edges, auto-hide must be selected from the preferences obvioulsy AND the window menubar SHOULD be hidden (if the menu bar is visible then it will prevent the window from auto-hidding to the screen edge.

I found the error for me. If I use the %status% tag in the tooltip, then the script doesn't work. Removing the %status% has fixed all the problems, and it hasn't acted up since .

I have the setup I described above, and its 32-bit windows XP home .

so is the %status% tag the problem... nice Keikonium that we found the bug!

Mate I installed and now there is already a bug... if you have a personalized status when you install the script and if you have %status% tag in the tooltip, nothing is showed... you have to change the status to a normal one... and then it's showed... after that I putted again the personalized and is showed the normal one again... maybe you can do... that %status% tag display the normal one if there is not a personalized... and in the other hand if there is a personalized one, that is what is displayed... what do you think???

Update: sorry if i didn't understand what was your point in your last post and I am saying that is a bug that you already know...

Update 2: Actually each time that you enter to the preference and click ACCEPT/OK button if you have a personalized status then the real one dissapear too of the tooltip...

The update works for me now ^_^. Thank you very much TazDevil!

On a side note, I noticed I didn't have to sign out/sign back in for the tooltip to update. I always had to with the previous versions. Maybe that was a bug before, or maybe that was newly added, but just wanted to say keep up the great work!

If I may, a feature request:

The option to change WLM's title bar text. Currently it says "Windows Live Messenger 8.1" or something like that. I know there are programs that can do this, but it may be a nice addition to your script .

what does not work is everything related to autohiding,windows snapping to edges and frame hiding fix: there's no configuration that will make these features work. Everything else works so I was wrong, sorry about that, saying "it doesn't work". Ive tried to install this script with messenger with nothing more than Plus added, and it didn't help.
Also, this:
Funzione chiamata: OncWndMessengerEvent_CtrlClicked
or any other string
won't show when in debug when clicking radio buttons or making any selection in "Contact List Customization". Actually, no action has an effect in the debug but apply and ok buttons, when i'm in "Contact List Customization".

As for my computer: I use win xp pro 32 bit installed on a 64 bit motherboard, and as I said before even a clean WLM with just Plus installed does not change my situation. If I missed to say something, please tell me.. Thanks and sorry for all the troubles i caused to you..

Hi, TazDevil! I'm a Chinese (simplified chinese) user of messenger plus! live. Your enhancer script is amazing, but "auto-hide" function doesn't work for me. What a regret!

I've refered to many posts by others, and have done what you told before. Unfortunately, "auto-hide" is still out of work.

Can I find the answer in our forum?

Windows Live! Messenger, Messenger Plus! Live and Enhancer are all running on Windows XP SP2 platform (simplified chinese version).

Messenger   V 8.0.0812.00  (simplified chinese version).
Plus! Live     V 4.11.0.254  (simplified chinese interface).
Enhancer     V 3.0.19.23 (downloaded from your website)

@ lovefollen & okaygo

lovefollen's settings look fine and the debug window does not report any errors so, i my self  am wondering what could be wrong....

lovefollen can you post the complete output of the debug window, please ? Specifically is there an exception being called ?


Do you by any chance have the contact list in a secondary monitor ? it works fine for me on the primary monitor and it should work on a secondary monitor as well based on my calculations....

Are you trying to autohide the contectlist to a side that a toolwindow (office toolbar or whatever)  already exists ?

Is there anything else that you think could cause a malfunction ???
I am open for suggestions....

I think i found it. when trying to access the config window of enhancer the debug windows reports an "error retrieving settings", these are not the exact words but I'm sure of the meaning. Enhancer fails in trying to load the settings.. then clicking on buttons or ticking options and applying won't give any result obviously.. Ah no, i got only one monitor! Something o don't know if is important: i use exploer 7 rc 1 and my xp pro has service pack 2 installed.. Thanks

Perhaps some of you enhancer-users can help me out with a small issue.

I'm unable to make the docking function of Enhancer work properly. Nothing at all apparently happens when I enable the docking option and press "apply" or "OK"

Any ideas to solutions, ideas and hints will be greatly appreciated!

I'm runnning
Live Messenger 8.0 (8.0.0812.00)
Messenger Plus 4.11.0.254
Enhancer 3.0.15

Sorry for the late updates but i am working most of the day so i cant use the internet much...

@ Finkster
As of v3.0.18.21 i removed the auto-dock (meaning: contactlist automatically takes the screen height once it is moved to a screen edge) because i am trying to find a better solution.

You can use docking (adjust desktop work area) thou, by manually resizing the contactlist height to fit the screen height and then move it to the left or right edge.

Please make sure you use the check for updates option to get the latest version

@lovefallen, okaygo
i am still trying to figure out why are you having so much issues
(i think i will design an extended debug version for you to find out what is causing the issue, on the weekend thou)

As for okaygo from the picture i can see you are running too much scripts, that one may be conflicting with Enhancer, or produce an error that inhibits Enhancer from loading...

It seems that I'm not the lucky one.
I have stopped any other scripts, and just ran enhancer with live messenger. The contact list can auto snap to the screen edge as before, but it still can't auto hide to the edge.

Ah, I can do nothing but leave a post here again.

Enhancer for me keeps working rare... many of the features are having a strange behavior... for example the tooltip...
I will post sun a summary of test and results that I will do to enhancer... so I can help you to solve those problems... but now I am writting for one specific thing... that is the incompatibility of the hide contact list of the taskbar and ALT-TAB...
The problem is with the last one... when you have some program that enhance the ALT-TAB windows XP feature...
Like for example the microsoft powertoy Alt-Tab Replacement (Taskswitch) and the simultaneous view of the Microsot IntelliPoint 6.1 Mouse Software for Windows...
The issue comes when you have this programs installed (I have both) and you try to switch windows... It doesn't hide at all... can you do something about???

Btw there is something more... when you have the close automatically the contact windows feature enable... (I have it configured for close it in 10 seconds) and you try to change your PM (or you nick with Stuffplug 3 nickeditor) the windows closes without leave you finish...

Is there any way to make the tab bigger or ad text to it so it's a little bigger?

Tried all combinations of settings.  Whatever I do, most things don't work.

Contact List Auto-Hide - no
Hide taskbar button - no
System Tray Functionality  - no
System Tray Tooltip - yes

I tested about 30 scripts and 2 caused high Memory/CPU/Crash usage in messenger this one wasn't friendly at all

Also it really seems out of place on vista, i think this should act more like the pen tablet input tool, if you could do that, would be awesome

OKi here are some updates

24-02-2007 - v3.0.21.25
- fixed reading messenger resource file in WLM 8.1
- per user preferences
- added %unread% code for the tooltip to show unread messages count.
- removed an unused registry variable that caused errors for new accounts (maybe is due to this many of you were complaining)
- updated script package for new Plus! added version string
- fixed contactlist showing up in messenger lock mode
- autoclose is suspended if contactlist is active

16-01-2007 - v3.0.20.24
- improved multi-line text control ability to insert a line feed by entering (for the tooltip)
- improved fullscreen application checking


I enabled the automatic update for this version as well.
The script can be found on the first post of this thread as usual  (from my site) and if MethiX is kind enough to update the script database

@ aNILEator
The high Memory/CPU usage is due to Messenger, that has been discussed lots of times and has nothing to do with the script.
Just leaving your contact list open without any scripts running, the memory usage will go sky high as well...

@ bobbismal
Unfortunatelly the width can not become bigger

@ warmth
changed check to suspend autoclose if contactlist of a child window is active

true there is memory leaks in contact list, but with enhancer it is 10x worse and changing any settings causes it to crash and burn

suggestion: maybe could you PLEASE have it so you can have the Contact list taskbar not shown but also have alt+tab enabled?

this is REALLY annoying that i have to have the window taskbar to have alt+tab

thanks NF

Sorry for reporting that Auto-Hide doesn't work as before.

How so?
i havent touched the auto-hide code.... (i think)

You will have to set your settings again as now each email address used may have its own settings.

Needs vista ( and x64) optimizing

the most incredible thing your script does is that if I enable and then disable the debugger, I won't be able to see its window again unless i reinstall Plus.. I assure you this appens ONLY when your script il loaded and working.. anyway I get the same error i always have with your script, from version to version: failure retrieving general settings when clicking to see configuration of Appmon+

Hi,
I tried to find an already existing thread but couldn't, so if there is one please forgive me and redirect me to the correct thread.

I've downloaded the new live messenger with Messnger Plus and the Enhancer script.  On my old laptop, the Flashing Window in the taskbar was functionning correctly when disabled.
With my new one and the new versions, the window in the taskbar is flashing on a new message arrival even if the option is unchecked.  Is it a bug, will it be corrected soon?  Is there a workaround?

Thanks!
Andrew

Hi, i am the author of Enhancer

Yes i located and fixed the bug, so all you have to do i wait kindly for the next version to be released

You will be notified by automatic update, or you can check manually in a couple of days

Thanks buddy!  Nice job by the way! =)  Very useful at job!!

Heh i know,

yeah i am improving the messenger lock feature to enable/disable by the middle click mouse button at the tray icon

as well as some other small fixes

Hello

I'm encountering some installation problems with this script.

Maybe some firewall things are blocking this but can't figure out what it should be. I'm using F-Secure somebody any idea, because i really want the docking ability.

For the records

Windows Live Messenger 8.1.0178.00
Messenger Plus! Live 4.20.0.262
Messenger Plus! Live Enhancer 3.0.19.23

On Windows Media Center 2005

the last enhancer version is 3.0.21.25, maybe an updatre solves your problems!

Latest version still causes Messenger to crash in Vista Business on both of my machines.  Any ideas?

My enhanceris running perfectly now thanx for the help and the script great one

I've been running it just fine in business vista but just within the last hour has crashed...only version I can find is 3.0.19 where can I get the 3.0.21.25???

here http://ioannis.mpsounds.net/blog/?dl=Enhancer.plsc or just click CHECK FOR UPDATE in the enhancer menu...

hi there.

I have a problem... it appears that the enhancer doesn't work on my computer... i've been reading this whole topice for several times to  find a clue and get it to work, but nothing works... the only function I really wan't to use is the auto-hide function..

please help!

current versions:
live messenger 8.1.0178.00
msgplus 4.20.0.262
enhancer 3.0.21.25

I mainly use enhancer for the docking capability.

I realize that as per the developers post, the "auto" resize for docking is not implemented at this moment.   Is there any updated or timeline as to when this feature may be implemented again?

Secondly, is there a way to get docking to work with multiple monitors?  This worked with the older version on non-live messenger.

TazDevil can you explain to me how you did the feature that the windows get opened or get on focus when you click the wlm tray icon??? I just need this feature of your pluggin...

@ warmth
You need to subclass the WLM hidden window owner of the tray icon and catch the messages posted when the tray icon is clicked by the mouse.

05-05-2007 - v3.0.22.26
- fixed keyboard override requiring restart to work.
- option to lock messenger through tray icon middle button
- hide button show alt-tab (experimental)
- %unread% for non hotmail, live etc. addresses will display a "-"
- %chats% for number of open conversations.
- on message received and tabbed option enabled, status bar text will rotate between active convo and flashing one (experimental)
- fixed disable flashing feature
- fixed hotkeys working on messenger lock

Hi

i was so happy to see that new version today, which would fix the disable flashing feature, but infortunately, it's still flashing when disabled

i"ve encountered the same problem using msgdiscovery, which includes the same option.

this is my newest attempt at testing my system, to see what's causing the trouble,

i"m actually running a 0day fresh ( unattend ) XP Sp2 Completely updated..

the only thing is did before testing Enchancer was to patch my messenger, tested both messpatch & creative patch on another unattend i ran before, same problem...

i have really no clue what is going on since this function was working back in the days on my laptop.

could you tell me if you're using the same procedure as msgdiscovery ( if you know ) for that function ?

ty

Argg, I thought i had fixed this in the version i sent...

Well i dont think i am using MessengerDiscovery procedure as i have to counter-attack Plus! procedure to flash tabbed windows as well.

I have uploaded a new .plsc at my site and sent a new for the database.
It will have the same version number but this time the feature is fixed.
You will not be notified with automatic updates for this version, so you manually have to download it from my site until it has been uploaded to the script database

It was *broken* because i was implementing an experimental feature where if you have tabbed chats enabled and taskbar flashing enabled, and multiple chats simultaneously, the taskbar button will flash - rotating the flashing window title name - so when you are in another program you know which contact sent you a message.

Please try this version and let me know.
http://ioannis.mpsounds.net/blog/?dl=Enhancer.plsc

problem solved boss..

thank you very much, been wanting that for a long time

mX

mate many of the features aren't working to me yet (as docking)... contact me by pm if you want and we can talk in messenger... I can send u screenshots... and so on... I have some advices to you too... and some requests...

disables plus's transparency options

31-05-2007 - v3.0.22.27

FINALLY got around to fix a major frame issue... (triple bug actually as explained below) FINALLY !!!

When checking whether the frame should be hidden or shown,
- a string comparison was made in english which made Enhancer not function well on all other language messenger distros...

- the "Close" button i used to detect whether the frame should be hidden or shown was not appropriate as when an activity is present, another close button is added to the activity that was detected by Enhancer and confused the results of the detection. This caused the frame to hide even when the window was maximized.

- the internal frame state was sometimes lost when maximizing, restoring and rotating between conversation windows.

- oh and the final test was made on WLM 8.5 beta so yeah it is compatible when the released Plus! will support it

Seems like the download link is still 3.0.22.26, or did you forget to change the build number?
EDIT: Okay, you just forgot to change it in the ScriptInfo.xml.
EDIT2: Yay, the hiding feature seems to be fixed since the last time I installed this! Loving it!

arggg and i just sent it for addition in the db

Well, maybe if you go with the speed of light you may be able to catch your e-mail while it's flowing through the Internet cables.

seems like my help worked TazDevil !!! congrats... I will try it... in a while...

MORE UPDATES

05-06-2007 - v3.0.23.30
- added back the much improved snapping-docking feature that expands the contactlist to the screen height (seeing that it is not added back by plus!)
- fixed tooltip strings due to altered string table from  8.0 to 8.1 onwards (sorry about that i hadn't realized that there where so major changes)
- added some support for Pager windows (chats with mobile devices) inclusion in %chats% count

31-05-2007 - v3.0.22.27
- fixed frame issue with active activities in conversations
- fixed frame issue where frame setting is lost amongst convos on max restore.
- fixed frame issue with non-english mesenger distros

IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES POST THEM HERE

there is a thing that claims to adjust the transparency of windows when you hover over them.  I can get this to work for my chat windows and my contact list, but not for my event logger window.  Is there a setting I need to change, or doesn't the script do this?

Ive found a bug that when i get added into a group conversation, my conversation window resizes on its own. Im running the most upto date release of the script aswell.

%unread% unread at notification does not get updated.I read my emails and in WLM it's 0 but at notifications it is still 6 just to let you know.%email% is also cut short at the 3rd line.Sometimes it's ok and sometimes it isn't.Please fix it thank you =)

Thanks man =)Did a wonderful job with Windows Live Enhancer.I now realize what you mean by a word limit for it.It works when I am online but when words for the status like Be Right Back.My email just gets cut off.haha.Thanks dude=)

what is your tooltip format and email length ?

its a very lengthy one haha.

%original%
%name% || chat windows: %chats%
e-mail: %email% (%unread% mails)

i have:

e-mail: %email% (%unread%)
%status%
Open Chats: %chats%

and i never have problems

just remember that each new line is 2 chars "\r\n" that is how windows recognize a line feed in tooltips

---

yup %original% tends to be big if you consider "Windows Live Messenger BETA" you waste 27 chars...

the format i wrote above is actually read by windows like:

e-mail: %email% (%unread%)\r\n
%status%\r\n
Open Chats: %chats%

\r is the carriage return character
\n new line feed character
\ is an escape character, therefore \r is treated as a single char same as \n
these characters are not visible to the user though

So these commands are hidden from us but Windows reads them like this?So we do not need to add them?

Exactly !

Thanks for the explanation!Really helped me a lot!Trying out different patterns.See you soon =)Keep the great work on your enhancer =)I used to use Window Manager but Enhancer's interface is as good=)Actually,I have been using Enhancer ever since it came out.I just realized the stuff haha.See ya soon with your new version of Enhancer!

-PEACE

I bow for you

thanks for the great new version! (auto-hide works perfect!)

TazDevil, I'm assuming that there are separate preferences for each user. Would it be too much to request a feature to remember the last location a user had his/her contact list?

Right now with my polygamy both contact lists open on top of each other, when I'd rather emailaddress1 opened in the middle of the screen (it docks to the top) and emailaddress2 opened on the right (to dock to the right).

Edit: when I say dock, I mean auto-hide.

I'd Really love the auto-hide feature to be more like Vista's handwriting docked.

so you see a small slither of border, when you hover over it pop out a bit more with the handwriting pen on, when you click it whizzes out, having that for messenger would be SOOOOO cool

Just a little tab on the side, pops out with messenger logo on click whizzes out

Very nice idea aNILEator, I think that's a great idea and will intrude less when you accidentally move over it.

also currently auto-hide makes some dodgy line appear to the left of the contact list before it slides out

Yeh, love the idea Nile. There is something about this script, it just seems to be playing up on my computer, the C++ version just seemed to work better .

Note: I just repleid to a post where someone was saying this script causes problem in Messenger 8.5. Please make sure you update your script as soon as possible . Thanks.

TazDevil, for some reason after the patch, i have some problems with the scripts
1: i usually put the contacts window and the msg windows as hidden menu bar. but whenever i maximize it, and restore back to normal, the menubar shows up. this happens to the contact window and also the msg window. and when i hide the menu bar again, it makes my window as big as how there was the menu bar... IT DID NOT HAPPEN LIKE THIS BEFORE THE LAST VERSION...

any ideas?

May I suggest "Ctrl+W closes current tab (chat window)" be implemented in Plus! Live Enhancer?

It doesn't have to be perfect, I mean, you just check if it's Ctrl+W pressed in OnEvent_ChatWndEditKeyDown and it should be nice.

mate how about just press ESC???

It's just a matter of habit, and esc is kinna too far away.

Is it possible to make it so that when you have the taskbar item flashing disabled, it still changes the colour?

What I really want is to know that a conversation event has occurred (i.e. task bar item goes from grey to blue) but without flashing. That, or change the window icon temporarily or something.

If you could do that, I would really appreciate it.

I can't get docking to work at all. any ideas? Is widescreen not supported?

well im kinda lazy to read the whole thing but doesnt this scrip "disables' the windows vista animation on the CL and conversation windows? WLM crashed so next time scripts were diable and i notice the animation now i re-enable enhancer and now no animation

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! INCOMPATIBLE WITH WLM 9.0!! WLM crashes and Plus! simply disappears...

Hello, i'm using windows live messenger 8.5 (traditional chinese)

i cannot see anything in the preferences dialogue box... i cannot configure the script... how to fix this?!

i would love this to work in WLM 9... i just miss this plugin so much

Yes i know, MS keeps changing the format and indices of the string references in the string table...

I had to implement this for providing multi-language feedback but i guess it is causing to much trouble...

I will provide a fixed version soon.

i think docking the convo window would be useful but only if you use tabbed chats

Can someone confirm me that Enhancer crashes in WLM 9.0 when the user status is changed ? or are there any other instances as well

Ok, i uploaded a new version on my server find the link in the first post.

It shouldn't crash on WLM v9.0 (9.0.1407) any more but i wouldnt guarantee that Microsoft wont change their string tables again until the final version is out...

A couple of other bugs have been fixed as well, see the change log on the first post.

thanks so much... it now works perfectly

now the only problem with this script is that it deactivates the mnimize animation in windows vista... but well i can live with that... it just happens with messenger windows... it would be nice if fixed though haha

Check "Display animation rectangles on minimize, maximize, restore" check mark in the Enhancer  options, to see such animation...

If that still doesnt work then you'll have to give me some more feedback on the matter as i dont have Vista installed.

is it easy for you to record a vid with a screen capture program showing the animation without Enhancer ? (because i am unsure of how Enhancer interferes with it )

hey taz

my msgplus has updated enhancer today. now messenger starts but i can't see the contactlist window. when i double click the messenger icon in the tray, nothing happens.

i'm using windows vista ultimate 32bit and i guess messenger 8.5 but i can't check this, cause i don't see the window.

thx for the help.

I noticed that as well, seems it opens the window outside the screen.

To resolve open the task manager by right-clicking the taskbar and in the applications tab, find "Windows Live Messenger" and right-click on it and select Maximize. Then close the contact list and open it again.

I think that should fix it...

unfortunately there is no such application running...cause i have enabled "hide contact list in taskbar"...

whaa

// have downloaded a tool called "window hunter" which is able to make hidden windows visible and/or bring them to the center of the desktop.

Before you take the steps i described above make sure you open the contactlist from the tray.

Even with the setting to hide the contact list in taskbar the window name should appear in the task manager

edit: hmm i see you have resolved your issue using counter measures , its good to improvise sometimes

can't confirm this. even if my contactlist is visible...it's not listed in the application tab of the taskmanagr.

WARNING: Importing the database version of this script crashes Messenger 9.0 Beta (dunno if it'd already been reported, sorry if it has )

I upgraded to the latest version andsince then, my WLM has been crashing on me. It deactived all the scripts for me. Then I had to one by one test which was the one giving the problem. And whenever I have Enchancer active, it will crash.

im using windows XP service pack 2

I also have stuff plug installed version: 3.5.590

any help would be appriciated

Hmm somehow my contact window never shows after uninstalling this script..

I'm not sure if you want to call this a bug or not, but definitely not the expected behaviour.
At the same moment I was disabling the tray icon flashing, someone sent me a message which caused the icon to flash. Now, without re-enabling the option or restarting WLM, the icon has been permanently hidden.

I think i will prefer the older version. Anyone know where I can get v3.0.23.30?

installing this script crippled my WLM! I can't evne open the main window to uninstall it... is there some way yo open WLM in safe mode or something!?!?

im having the same problemo... worked great till i upgraded... gonna have to disable enhancer till theres a fix.

it used up close to 100% cpu. the main window refuses to open etc... over all total halt of the system. using WLM 8.5 XP SP 2 all updates done.

2.13GHz centrino
1.5GB ram

way to get rid of the script.... lol temp.. ctrl + alt + del close msnmsg.exe (think thats what its called) start WLM before its logged in ctrl + alt + del close messenger again then start it WLM will start with no scripts running

Quick register to report this..

May be i have many programs run in background..
After I tried the first feature "Display animation.."
the MSN went down to tray and never come up again
I can't uninstall the script since it'll never come up..

However, keep trying

Cheers

My problem is less of a problem, and more of an annoyance.

Where ever I have my contact list docked and hidden every time I click to switch chats the contact list pops out and then hides again.

This is extremely annoying.

Hi,

I just tried to import the script and there is an error says:
"The procedure entry point DoOpenPipeStream could not be located in the dynamic link library ScrRun.dll"

But still the import was successful. However, the whole window is blank in the Enhancer's preferences menu.

Did i missed something? Please help. Thanks.

I am using:

I tried your suggestion and successfully installed the WGA Pluggin and run the REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL. I then removed the Enhancer and reinstalled it. Unfortunately, still having the same problem....

Thanks anyway.

I am having some problems that seem to have poped up for ppl in 2006 and scaning though this HUGE thread I couldn't find a solution:

I am using version 3.0.23.32 or Enhancer
version 8.5.1302.1018 of WLM
and version 4.60.0.324 or Plus! Live

1.) My contact list is always on top now when it is in "Default" mode and even when I uninstall the script (I am not using any other scripts)

2.) I want to use it docked to the side of the screen but without it hiding. So it makes the maximised windows go next to it and not behind or infront of it. BUT it does seem to dock OK with "Dock (adjust working area)" selected but the windows maximised are always behind it and I can't access anything on the side of the maximised application.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,


Zasurus

would it at all be possible to extend the script beyond just the contact list? like, including conversations if wanted? i like the auto-hide feature, and id love to use it on my conversations as well, just a quick question/suggestion i had

hey everybody... I´m the new one

is it possible to make an Update to this great Script?


(sorry for my bad english)

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed WLM 2009 MP!L 4.80.

Now I have an issue with the Enhancer script.
The script only works now after I go to the configuration screen of the script and press OK or Apply...
It looks like it doesn't start automatically when starting Messenger...

How can I make the Enhancer script work automatically?

Regards,

T-PO

If I am not mistaken the script is not compatible with the latest version of Windows Live Messenger however I could be mistaken, I will speak with the developer when I see him online next.

Hi all,

Haven't been around much, busy life....

I have noticed that the new version of Messenger has introduced a lot of internal changes.

Indeed not all functionality is compatible with the new version.
I will try to make some updates and tests during the next week(s).

Do not worry, your favorite script will be fully functional before you know it

Regards,
TazDevil

I hate it because it made windows messenge live not to work

Hope so!!!

Nice plugin, I have 2 suggestions:

- When pressed "enter" on a group in contact list in WLM 9 don't open the "edit group" box but expand the group (like in WLM8).
- Move the display picture pane back to the right of the conversation window (like WLM8 and other privious versions of MSN).

Hello Leonmeijer,

Your first suggestion is up to TazDevil.

Your second, however, is to be taken care of by the skinning system of MP!L. You can go to the Skin requests section to request such a feature, if it hasn't already been made.

I'm a Windows Vista user (Windows 7 also) And just thought I'd let you know that with this it like kills the close, minimize and maximize buttons. Just thought I'd let you know, in-case you already didn't ^^ Can't wait for update

I need your help with the faboulous ENHANCER....it doesn't work with the last MSN LIVE version........it is terrible for me....I need to disable the flashing window....PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Just a small status update.

Most of the functionality has been recovered (hopefully).

Only thing pending matter is some glitches when maximizing/restoring the windows (code for that is all over the place, which tries to recover the whitespace above the windows)

Hopefully i'll have something working later today to post here for some additional testing before i send it to the database.

Soooo... talk to ya later

Ok, as promised before the end of the day.

The version attached below v3.0.23.80 "should" be compatible with the latest WLM version 14.0.8064.206.

I have tested it on XP to the extend that it will not freeze or crash Messenger, so i haven't done a thorough testing on everything else.

Try it.

When the new version goes live on the server it will require MP!L 4.80.0.356, otherwise it will not load. This requirement has not been implemented yet.

If you identify any bugs or glitches let me know...

Regards,

I get an error message saying "This does not appear to be a valid Messenger Plus! script file" I'm using Windows 7, which I assume would get the same thing on vista.

TazDevil, your ScriptInfo.xml 's BuildNumber tag is not closed properly (you're closing it with a <BuildNumber> instead of </BuildNumber>)

Yeah thanks, just fixed it and reuploaded

Still kills the minimize and close buttons at the top of the window in vista. =/

can you post a screenshot ?
Is the window maximised/restored...

I always have it Restored:



Screenshot glitched down the bottom, it doesn't look like that Just the top, there's nothing.

Hmm, i think i know what is causing it (but i dont have vista to test it) so...

Can you please maximize the window from the taskbar and tell me if you get the buttons back...

Still nothing back =/

ok, one more thing to try if you can bear with me.

Try disabling aero theme in vista and try the messenger windows in restored and maximized mode.

My best guess is that Enhancer should treat the window differently if the aero theme is in use.

Does Win7 have the aero theme as well ?

hmm...

So can anyone else test what i have suggested above, in order to confirm my theory.

Thanks

Which is the exact same theme as the one in vista I still had this problem. Yea, you're right, If you disable Aero, it thinks it's an XP type theme, and you get the WLM border:


I'm not disabling Aero if that's what it comes to, and I'm sure a lot of vista users would agree

Hehe

Don't worry, i dont think it will have to come down to that.

I'll do some research tonight in order to find out whether the aero theme is active or not and void some hacks

I have the same problem - I have Vista and I tried disabling Aero and voila, problem resolved...

Good Luck fixing it - I hope it's fixable

Nick

If the code below works as i expect it, then i think its fixable...
I am open to recommendations...

}
else

MessageBox.Show("Aero Glass disabled");

}

Link's dead xP And if I read correctly, and correct me if I'm wrong (No coding knowledge, what-so-ever) That's checking if aero is compatable, and if not, it disables it?

It will work but not as you expected. DwmIsCompositionEnabled has an output parameter that is true if enabled or false if it is not. You need to check that not the return value of the API.

Dear TazDevil, thank you very much for your prompt help but I have downloaded your script and I could add it to my Messenger Plus, but I don't know how to activate it.  It doesn't appear any option for disable flashing window or any option to customize the enhancer, I only can see that I imported that script but nothing else. 

Please explain me how to use or activate it.

Sorry if I cause you problems....but I am desperate...I need to disable the flashing window in a MSN conversation.

Thank you very much!!!

Proper c++ code would be...

code:

---

bool IsCompositionEnabled()
{
    HMODULE library = ::LoadLibrary(L"dwmapi.dll");
    bool result = false;

    if (0 != library)
    {
        if (0 != ::GetProcAddress(library, "DwmIsCompositionEnabled"))
        {
            BOOL enabled = FALSE;
            result = SUCCEEDED(DwmIsCompositionEnabled(&enabled)) && enabled;
        }
        VERIFY(::FreeLibrary(library));
    }
    return result;
}

Thank you, I found it, but something goes wrong, now I see 2 conversations open with the same contact and I only can see one of them but it continues flashing. = (

can you post a screen shot ?

after you take a screen shot and save it, close messenger completely (eg sign-out, exit messenger and then restart the messenger application from the start menu)
and see if it still happens after that.

what are your system specs ?

Once again, I get the error saying not a messenger plus! script =/

Hi again! I don't know if the Enhacer is, but now I can start a MSN video call just for few seconds (2 or 3) and then the window closes and appears a window with the message that Windows MSN detect an error and has to be closed

agh *shit* damn "/"

Lindi, try disabling enhancer and see if it still does it... (Click the 3 cubes > Preferences > Uncheck 'Enhancer')

Okay, I got a few screenshots here ^^ You fixed it Congrats

Restored Aero:  Maximized Aero:
     

Restored Non-Aero:  Maximized Non-Aero:
             

(When I switched Aero off. I got this error message


I guess it just doesn't like you switching it on or off while the script is running =/ Great work, thanks a bundle

EDIT: I get a crash when I change the minimum dimensions a couple of times.
EDIT2: It's always after 3 times of changing, then actually moving the window's size

When I disable Enhacer, the video call runs without problem.....=(((

I found some more problems on vista. It keeps crashing randomly, and I dunno why. =/

Yup, I get a heap of crashes too

Hope you can fix it

Hello,

Been a long time user of this script but after ecently reinstalling Vista (and subsequently latest versions of Msg Plus Live & Enhancer script) I have discovered the script will not dock - I'm selecting Dock from the script preferences but the contact list neither docks nor adjusts in size etc.

I've been using this script for years.

With the new WLM, it just jams the whole program up.

Time for an overhaul, methinks...

I have problem when loading the enhancer.  It can be imported sucessfully.  However, when loading the enhancer (i.e. when clicking either "OK" or "Apply", it hung msn.  I need to kill msn twice to disable the enhance, so that I can enter msn.   

I have ever tried to remove enhancer, delete the enhancer directory and reimport again, but the same problem still occurs.

I even tried to enable the debug window.  However, when I click "apply", it hung and debug window doesn't appear.

Any suggestion how to solve the problem?

My MSN ver. is 9.0
enhancer ver. is 3.0.23.32

Thanks

Raymond

oh sorry. it works now. thanks a lot

I did read the previous posts for above 10 pages, but didn't persist to read them all, cos already 37 pages.  Maybe I should read the last few pages next time. 
I also wrongly thought that version downloaded from the official web site is the latest.

hmm i cant seem to locate the latest version on the author's blog nor the dl link from msgplus.net..

Hi,

under "Notification" and under "System Tray Tooltip" there is the option to modify the system tray tooltip.

I'm wondering if there are any more predefined items than:

%email%, %name%, %status%, %unread% and %chats%

Thanks,

Pierre.

Predefined?

The docking feature (snapping) no longer works in Windows 7 RTM.

I NEED A UPDATE FOR MESSENGER VERSION: 9!!!
(BUG must be fixed!)

hi, i am very grateful with the option of being able to remove the flashing when new message is receive! can the email/name of the sender be removed or leave "blank" on the taskbar when message is received? is it possible?

I apologise if this has been asked before, I didn't see it anywhere but I may have missed it.

Is it possible to expand the no flashing feature to disable flashing for only certain contacts? Or is there a way of editing something that would allow me to do this myself? Certain of my friends seem to be unable to restrain themselves for more than a minute at a time, usually when I'm trying to concentrate.

TaZDevil remember to update the changelog in the first post Hope you are doing well my friend... long time without talking to you!

i'm having crashes with windows 7 and this specific script. whenever i try to enable it, windows live messenger just stops working..

has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hello. A version in Spanish?

Thanks!

Hm, it's realy nice but the white edge behind when you hide the contact list kinda fails...
Further it is awesome, I haven't noticed other bugs and I loves more space in my taskbar ^_^
Erm is it ok if i translate it to dutch for a friend?

Damn. Logged in via my laptop today for the first time in a long while. New version of enhancer. Ok good. But after download MSN crach without any chance of reching the settings part.

Where can I find the previous version again please? Download only lists the present I guess?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot t post.....

I am using Vista, 32bit WLM 2009 build: 14.0.8089.726

Updated enhancer to 3.0.23.81 today, and.... CRASH...

It works fine on my stationary computer though (XP) but crashed on my vista. So now I really need to go back to previous working version. Any link to that please?

/Michael

Where could I get version 3.0.23.81??


At msgpluslive.net I found this:
http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/157-Enhancer/

As you can see, it shows version 3.0.23.81...
...but when I click DOWNLOAD it just gives me version 3.0.23.32.


Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with another download, i advice you to clear yer browser cache :/
But the only way it worked for me was when the creator uploaded it to another server...

this PC has been formatted 1 hour ago.

On the first time I ran Messenger Plus! Live I saw the update for this script, but it couldn't download it.

So I went to Messenger Plus! Live homepage, looking for that version "81"

Nothing about browsing cache here.

When I download in Firefox I get 3.0.23.81
When I download in Chrome I get 3.0.23.32

So I don't know what's up with that.
It was just the filename - both were the latest version when installed.

Clear your browsers cache. If no good, just wait a little longer and it should update on all the servers.

Here, I've uploaded the latest version temporarily.

Thank you Chris4!
Installed as version "81"

By casualties, do you know what's new in this version?

Version label puts this release as one with big updates, compared with older ones:

This one:
3.0.23.81

3.0.23.31

Thank you so much!!.

I'm still getting errors with .81 I think it has something to do when you open up the main messenger with the contacts on it if it was minimized. That seems to be when it's crashing. I opened up the debugging tool but for some reason that's when the crashes don't happen. At best it's stopping me from even opening up the main messenger. Can anyone take a look at the source code?

hi to anyone one im just looking for found similar script for hide wlm from taskbar i cant get proprely script working on recent wlm2009
