i like the idea... that script will be great when the GUI is finished

-Update- v1.01.011
Fixed a few minor bugs, like the Timer stealing focus
And added an AutoUpdate feature...
('/TZAutoUpdate false', to turn it off)

WARNING: when you download the new version, your Windows.xml will be overwritten, losing the changes you made to the label (like centering)

Note: I changed the RichStaticControl back to the StaticControl, for multiline, this loses formatting

I'm going to sleep now (again )
Tomorrow I'm going to clean up the opening post, and add full documentation (I hope, I may be gone tomorrow, not certain yet)
And monday I'm going to clean up the code, and finalizing this last release (adding the commands in the command window, etc...) probably won't give a release, since it doesn't add anything

And then I'm going to work on the GUI, wich will take a while, since I'm also starting school monday

For some reason on the latest version (v1.01.012) the Timezone timer doesn't want to show. I even tried restarting Messenger and still nothing seemed to show. Am I doing something wrong?

It seems like the script won't start, coz of an error during the start
If you could post the Debug report...
Or add me to WLM

This is the debug report I get:

Thx, and good news...
I was just working on that

A few minutes...

-Update- v1.01.016
Minor bugfix, and added the 'Check for Update' item in the menu, which will check imediatly

Just got this, and I've noticed that the clock doesn't stay in the same position for each contact, for some people the clock is few pixels off.
I dont know why this happens because none of these contacts have emoticons in their name or PM
I've tried locking it in position, but that still doesnt work...

Also, I was talking to someone while changing the position of the clock and suddenly I couldnt send any messages to him
I had to stop and re-start the plug-in to make it work.

You only had to click in the typing area of the conversation window though (if that is what you mean).

The window where the clock is shown (it is a window which is 'simpy' shown above the conversation window so it appears to be a part of the conversation window), can steal the focus and can become the foreground window.

Since this window doesn't have any status or title bars, it is possible you might not notice that the cursor has dissapeared from the typing area of your conversation window.

i have aslo had this problem and sometimes if you wait a while it will come back but it is quicker to restart the script.

never ... but what I explaned is also exactly what you described in your first post (as you didn't mention the stuff you've just said). Though, I also said "if that is what you mean" because I wouldn't wanted to exclude other possible causes (like you just showed)...

sorry it didn't help you.



EDIT: blah... no excuses for me... I even didn't noticed you weren't the same dude I initialy replied upon... /me needs sleep
