O.P. [Request] In-convo status-viewer
I was just wondering, if it's possible to make an in-convo status viewer, like just  basically show an image in the convo window's formatting bar depending on the other person's status. For example, a green dot to show that the other person is online, orange if they are away/busy/on the phone/etc, and red iff they're offline.

From what I understand of msgplus Live scripting can do, this shouldn't be impossible to do, should it?

Well, if anyone would be nice enough to create such a thing, i've included images for the 'lights' if you don't feel like doing them yourself. Of course, i whipped them up in a few seconds on photoshop, so they're not that great, but it's better than just solid colours ^^"

It's pretty hard to do, but it is possible.
In this case i think the questions is whether it's worth it because the yellow info bar actually shows the status already...

I find that the yellow infobar is kind of annoying, and I don't know whether it's plus or mess patch, but either way, i haven't seen that bar in ages.... nor do i know how to make it come back, lol

That would be mess patch (fairly certain). As for the script, it's not THAT hard to accomplish. I don't know if I'm going to bother with it, but it shouldn't put other scripter off trying. You just need to search through how some other scripts accomplish things like this. Then just change the picture depending on status (easy)

the hardest part is to make a window on top of the chatwindow, which isn't that easy...

It's easy enough. Look at the code in the Timezone script by Shondoit and I think the iTunes+ script shows an even better way of attaching it using Interop.Call functions. In fact, the second one uses really a quit simple method which could be easily adapted
