So now atleast one of my issues is solved. Neither the matty or stuffplug solution seem to work with tabbed convo's. Any solution around this?

EDIT #2:  After researching further on these forums, I have come across several threads where numerous people desires the said feature. Apparently this is a limitation within scripting and is not possible for tabbed chats.
It does work for tabbed chatting! Tabbed chatting does not break those scripts, nor is there any bug.

But there is a big misconception on what such scripts actually do.

It is important to know that such scripts like these are programmed to change the Windows' title bar icon, they do not intentionaly change the taskbar button icon, that is only a side-effect!!! The changing taskbar button icon is only the result of the changing Windows' title bar icon.

As such you must have the title bar of the chat windows visible to see the proper effect of the script. This means you must enable the borders of the window and thus the top menu in conversation windows.

Also, remember that tabbed chatting works in a different way than the conventional chat windows. And hence the taskbar button icon will show a different icon (because of the way tabbed chats work).
