someone has already made this script before and it worked great but now it doesnt work in the new windows live messenger 9 so can someone that knows what they are doing make a new one that works with it  that would be great

im sure someone could remake this or update it

Here is something I tossed together. Doesn't currently work with tabbed chats I am thinking of continuing on with this little side project for the fun of it.

Current Version 0.1

Works <3 matty

When I get around to it I will be adding the ability to select a different icon set that you can use.

Hey thanks man  your a legend  it works good just like i wanted

Not sure why but I noticed the icon changing back to the WLM default one for  some reason. If anyone else notices this let me know.

I was bored so I started working on a new portion, multiple icon styles.

Looks great Matty!

great script. Would really love to see an update for this

what for  a comand is it to change?
"/change icon"??

The script changes the icon of the chat window automatically depending on the contacts status. You do not need to do anything...

Is there any way to make this work in Windows 7 without using the small icons?

It doesn't seem to work when I'm using Windows 7's default task bar size.

I don't have Windows 7. When I get it installed I will.

matty, great! I'll be waiting for it I prefer the bigger task bar in Windows 7 than the old one.

Spunky, do you have your script uploaded anywhere?

Just add the highlighted line to the function

Javascript code:

---

function SetIcon (hWnd, nStatus, bIsContactBlocked) {
    var sIcon = MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + oStatus[nStatus] + (bIsContactBlocked ? '_blocked' : '') + '.ico';
    var hIcon = Interop.Call("shell32", "ExtractIconW", hWnd, sIcon, 0);
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', hWnd, 0x80, 0, hIcon);
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', hWnd, 0x80, 1, hIcon);}

---

It worked!

Thank you so much matty!

I forgot to include it originally.

This is straight from Screenshot Sender 5.

Javascript code:

---

/*
    Name:      SetWndIcon
    Purpose:    Sets the window icon
    Parameters: None
    Return:  None
*/
function SetWndIcon(hWnd) {
    _debug.getfuncname(arguments);
    _win32.SendMessageW(hWnd, 0x80 /* WM_SETICON */, 0 /* ICON_SMALL */, hScriptIcon);
    _win32.SendMessageW(hWnd, 0x80 /* WM_SETICON */, 1 /* ICON_BIG */, hScriptIcon);
}

(you've reinvented the wheel... but it is rounder now )

First of all, thank you for taking time out of your own personal schedule to help others. I really appreciate this forum. Again, Thank you!

I tried using the script with WLM 8.1 (hate the new versions-- Currently running ML!P 4.60) using tabbed chats, but it doesn't work.  Works good for when the tabbed chats option is turned off (as stated in the first page of this thread, by matty).  Could anyone please update this script?


Secondly (and of lesser priority), I realized a small (bug?) with the actual icons it uses. Take a look at the posted screenshot for further visual aid. Sometimes, the icons will appear as cute boxes that depict busy as red, away as yellow, and green as available. Other times, it uses the conventional MSN logo for busy, away, etc. Is this supposed to happen randomly or is there a way to choose which icon set to use? I don't mind either, it's just a little irritating when it switches back and forth between them.

Check what scripts are running, from the looks of that screenshot you are running my version (normal icons) and mattys version (square icons) at the same time

I have only installed mattys version (3rd post in the 1st page of this thread -- StatusIcon_WLMBeta.plsc). Where can I get yours to give it a try?

EDIT #1:  I was playing around with my other MSN addon (Stuffplug), and found that I had one of the options ticked. Take a look at the screenshot.

So now atleast one of my issues is solved. Neither the matty or stuffplug solution seem to work with tabbed convo's. Any solution around this?

EDIT #2:  After researching further on these forums, I have come across several threads where numerous people desires the said feature. Apparently this is a limitation within scripting and is not possible for tabbed chats.

Thank you for your time

It does work for tabbed chatting! Tabbed chatting does not break those scripts, nor is there any bug.

As such you must have the title bar of the chat windows visible to see the proper effect of the script. This means you must enable the borders of the window and thus the top menu in conversation windows.

Also, remember that tabbed chatting works in a different way than the conventional chat windows. And hence the taskbar button icon will show a different icon (because of the way tabbed chats work).

It's very understandable that most people think it is for the taskbar button though. It is indeed it is a bit misleading.

Then again, when you do have tabbed chats enabled, you would only have 1 taskbar button for all the chats anyways. So the usefullness of seeing the status of your contacts by glimpsing the taskbar buttons is already a bit less as you would only be able to see the status of the contact in the current focused chat, and not the statusses of the others.

It is only a limitation within Plus! that the group icon for tabs cannot be changed in the taskbar, to resemble the current status icon for the current open chat.

And that takes a lot of time and work. Much more than the time and work put into the current 'statusicon' scripts as they are all very basic straithforward and short scripts. Unfortunalty most of the scripters who would be capable of doing something like that are busy with other projects.
