RE: Contacts on Desktop sizing
What you can do, Wimz, is moving your most right contact a bit to the left so all three window buttons are always visible. I don't see why this wouldn't be possible since you already have moved the contacts a bit to the left.

Or you can do as Jesus suggested. With the new versions of Messenger Plus! Live you can middle click on the desktop contact to hide it for a couple of seconds. If you don't have a middle mouse button, you often will find that the scrollwheel on your mouse acts like the middle button and is clickable. If that isn't possible either, try to click both the left and right mouse button at the same time.
But remember to click on the desktop contact itself.

To alter the look of the desktop contacts like Patchou suggested, you need to first extract the interface file called "INTERFACE1" out of the resource section "INTERFACES" of the file called "MsgPlusLiveRes.dll".

To do this you can use an resource editor like Resource Hacker.

After you've extracted the XML file you open it and copy/paste the sections:
<Window Id="FloatingWnd.1" Version="1"> (= window without second line)
and
<Window Id="FloatingWnd.2" Version="1"> (= window with second line)
into a new, proper XML file.

Edit it to your likings (use the Official Scripting Documentation > XML Schemas Reference > Interface Windows > Schema Documentation as guideline) and save the new file as "floating.xml", or the likes, into the "Interface" subdirectory of Plus! Live.

The file attached in the zipfile is this new XML which I already extracted for you so you can just start editing it. Remember to save it as Unicode and put it in the "Interface" subdirectory of Plus! Live.
