RE: [Request] Gaming
Unfortunately, this isn't possible with scripts.

The reason for this is that a game has to use DirectX to get proper full-screen functionality. Steam and Xfire have some libraries to hook into the games with DirectX, but Messenger doesn't use DirectX in any way. Therefore, it's not possible for a Plus! Live script to hook into a full-screen game and make chat overlay windows in it like Steam and Xfire do.
