Wow i've had a big day! HSC results back and then i've been madly finishing this script all day for the deadline and its finally done!

Name: Stat Center (Statistics Center)

Version: 1.5.0 BETA (Released 27/05/2007 GMT+11)

Description: Stat Center essentially monitors and logs all your and your contacts activities on Windows Live Messenger. These statistics are saved to XML files split daily to ensure that performance and the user experience will not degrade over time through use. There are currently 4 categories of statistics that Stat Center will record - with the potential for much more in the future (feel free to suggest features ).

Changes in v1.5.0 BETA:

Improved:
- MAJOR: Statistics files are now saved using the registry! This means no slow waiting times to view your contact's statistics and also means no noticable degredation in performance when normally using messenger! Essentially all past performance issues are solved.

Fixed:
-The version error message window title now matches the colour of messenger.
- Yahoo contacts are properly parsed when they are the 'other contacts' in a group conversation if a WLM account of the same email present exists.

Limitations:
- Statistics from past versions of Stat Center (non 1.5.x branch) will not be 'visible' in this beta version of 1.5.0. The statistics will not be deleted, they are just not processed in this temporary beta version.

Here is a short description of each window which you can also see in each screenshot:

General Statistics: This is the default window that is shown when viewing contact statistics. It shows current information about the user and also provides basic statistics about their usage habits - such as time online, total signins and their status habits.


Conversation Statistics: This category provides detailed information on data that your contacts have sent to you and data you have sent to them. When you're viewing your own statistics this area will show the total amounts of data send and received from all contacts, otherwise per-contact statistics will be shown.


Actions Statistics: This category provides information about actions that you and your contacts have taken regarding Display Names, Personal Messages and Media events. It records the total changes for each item and also the names of changed items. (Note: This screenshot is from when i was testing, hence this is why it says that i've played 21 songs and only a few are logged)


Other Statistics: This category groups statistics that weren't large enough to be placed in their own individual window. When you're viewing your statistics privacy, personalized status and messenger lock statistics are shown. Otherwise just privacy information is shown.


Usage: Stat Center can be opened by clicking the Plus! icon in both the conversation and contact list window. You can directly go to your contact's statistics through the conversation window. Also the command "/showstats" can be used if you prefer to use the keyboard.
