O.P. Custom nicknames on Tabs suggestion

Hello.

I've note something when I use MSN Live Messenger with tabbed option enable (mean always) I did not see the nick which I set
to the contacts which I'm talking too, instead I see the nick which they're set.

Can somebody please tell me if I can do something for change this behavior?

Regards
I have a suggestion about this. When adding a nickname to a desktop contact, it says on the window "You can set a special nickname for this contact that will only be used in the floating desktop window."

Also at the fixed bug:

Blocked contacts are now displayed with the grey offline buddy icon when needed in tabbed chats and desktop contact windows.
As you can see, there is a relation between Desktop Contact window and Tabs. So my suggestion is: Expanding the nickname feature of desktop contacts to the tabs on the tabbed chat window. So allow us to set custom nicknames for our contacts from right click menu on Contact List>Messenger Plus! Features and when we open the "Set a nickname" window, it will say us "This custom nickname will only be used on Tabs when you are using Tabbed Chats and on Desktop Contacts windows."

Well, maybe there is not a direct relation between Tabbed Chats buttons and desktop contact window. I have improved my suggestion a little. Since Plus! can't get custom nicknames from WLM itself, then lets do Nicknaming feature of Plus! global to all Plus! features. For example, Event Notification pop-up can show the nickname which we set through the menu item above, and we don't need to customize event notification pop-up text like "/name/message". Thus, every user can set the nickname for a user both for WLM and Plus!.
