O.P. Dear MP! team....(rant about mess in menus)
Dear MP! team (aka Yuna Software) I'm certainly excited about new MP!5 update, all that changes you've made to allow MP! grow much easier in the future and such, but please, why does each update has inherit the mess in menus?
Lets review our chat window.
What we have there are:
- an "!" icon on top
- "Plus" menu
- sounds button at the bottom
- plugins button at the bottom

All that have their own menus, but some of them have duplicates of others.
For example the "!" button on top, a common sense would suggest that button would have control of what MP!L has to offer, right? Well, it doesn't. The "Plus!" menu on other hand have almost all options the "!" has, plus some extras. Why do we have both of them again?

The sounds button. The access to library was moved to dropdown menu, which is ok, I suppose (at first I thought you removed access to library from there completely, so this is little offtopic), but from that library window why can't we send sounds to the chat window we opened the library from (or active chat window)?

Plugins button - we have available plugin's options, we can access website to download new plugins, but how do we control installed plugins? Do we need click the top "!" icon? - no, we got to go to "Plus!" menu...why not from the plugins button itself?
And I'd bet, most users don't even know "Plus!" menu even exists...

And then finally the main window - it has it's own set of options, some of them not acceptable from chat window...

It is certanly much better compare to previous v4 when we had 3 MP!L icons + "Plus!" menu...but still, too much, too confusing, too not common-sense-user-friendly.

So, dear MP! team, would you please look into this sometimes for next updates?

Thank you.

[EDIT]
Forgot to mention specs:
Windows7 + WLM 2009 + MP!5
