I'm not saying it doesn't fit, I'm suggesting that things like the pop up balloon that says contact went offline would be better to look more similar to the original WLM one and that kind of stuff.

That feature was in the beta version of WLM 2009. It was removed from the final version, most probably because it was abused. As fun as it was, it was abused because people can have a really loud or embarrassing sound, which all their contacts will hear. That gives a negative view of Messenger and people won't want to use it, due to it being annoying. Plus! won't be adding this feature back in.

I'm not sure if you got what I mean, I'm suggesting that it should be like nicknames, one can choose to put an aggressive nickname and spam it multiple logging-in thats so annoying as, but you've would be allowed to turn it on/off and to override the contacts signature sound with one of your own, like it is possible with nicknames. Though that's not pretty easy to implement.

If Plus! were to add that feature, it would mean Plus! users would only be able to see it, which isn't very good. Also, the custom dynamic display pictures would probably have to be stored on Plus! servers for them to work, which would cost money.

Absolutely not, by simply allowing user to choose a picture from harddrive instead only from web cam you would work just the same but with a customized picture, my hunch is that this is the easiest feature to add from the ones I suggested.
