Could you please provide screenshots? I am not doubting you, but rather frustrated at being unable to get it to work. I could not for the life of me figure out how to properly work this.

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.

Check, and check. After enabling tabs again, and trying your script (v.1.0 -- I could not find the link to 1.02), I see that indeed the icons do change for the 'title bar', at the top of the chat window. This is great, indeed, but unfortunately I was looking for the 'side-effect', making the taskbar icon resemble the status icons. After reading in your other thread about how 'tabs' actually work, with the hidden windows and whatnot, it's understandable that this may not be possible, since Plus! will just assign a default icon to all the tabbed chats in the taskbar, but it will still show the status icons on the title bar.

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).


And Alas! we have come to the end. I think both of us can agree that most users that were looking for this script were interested in the taskbar status icon rather than the title bar, even though this was only a side effect. I was mislead in the  first few lines in this post when you claimed that it "worked for tabbed chatting", but I do not blame you. It is only a limitation within Plus! that the group icon for tabs cannot be changed in the taskbar, to resemble the current status icon for the current open chat.

Thank you for your time
