RE: handwriting/type bar
If you mean if there are any addons/plugins which add more things to where the handwriting tab is, there isn't any as far as i know :undecided:

No, the convert button doesnt allow both text and handwriting. I havnt yet heard of this being possible but it sounds like a pretty good idea.

It could cause problems, however, it could be difficult if the program/plug-in put the text directly over the handwriting (black on black you wouldnt be able to read it), or left big gaps to avoid handwritten things.

I know there is a convert button. I think it comes with the old ink/handwriting plug-ins (which tend to be a little dodgy with newer versions of MSNM) As far as i know did not allow handwriting and text together

Other then the convert tab there are no other tabs inside that bar, nor other plugins or addons which add something there...

With the convert tab you can write text with your mouse and it will be automatically converted to typed text.

For the convert tab to work you first need to enable handwriting. But the convert tab will still not work after you've installed the Ink Redistributables and/or the full plugin. For this you need to register another DLL which used to be on this site: http://www.mongfish.com/msnmsgr/.

Note that the handwriting plugin from TheBlasphemer is designed for MSN Messenger 6 only, and can even give conflicts when used in MSN Messenger 7. The link provided by Lee Jeffery is this specific handwriting plugin (with convert) for MSN Messenger 6.

To get the convert tab in msn messenger 7 you need to manually copy some language specific DLL as describe above, unfortunatly the site is down atm.

I added a button to that area in my skins.  It toggles the Formatting Toolbar.   The toolbar toggle buttons should come standard in MSN, theyre so useful.  Check out Washed Messenger or either of the iPod messengers to see what i'm talking about
