RE: [request] - idle status display
This was never a feature in Plus!3. To show idle instead of away with contacts who were idle you had to patch messenger yourself.
However, now in Plus! Live this patch is included. So it is integrated into Plus! Live (only). If you hoover over a contact you'll see the status of the contact. If it shows 'idle' that is Plus! Live's doing:
Plus! > Preferences > Customize > Main > Show contacts as Idle instead of Away when appropiate.
The problem you have is that now in Windows Live Messenger, the name of the statusses isn't shown anymore after the nickname. This is because MS has decided to remove it. There are however some patches floating around which maybe can add this back to WLM. But be aware that some patches break compatibility with Messenger Plus! and even disable some other functions in Windows Live Messenger itself (like sharing folders) if not applied properly.
PS: for those who wonder: no, this can not be added back with a script as you need to patch the resources before messenger loads them.
