Back in the day I used to use ICQ and ICQ Plus, together they made a superior user interface.  I wish MSN Plus had the same graphical setup options as ICQ Plus did.  Let me show you

I don't see anything other than a desktop screenshot

if you mean those contacts on your desktop, you can do that with messenger plus, Right click on a contact and then go to Messenger Plus Extras, and then Add to desktop

Naw... its horrible doing it like the floating contacts method.
When you are as popular as me, that means over 100 people on my desktop and no way to scroll.. BLEH!

Check this out, I made another example. high rez.

You arent very umm.. Polite...

I just can't get over how cocky he is. Look If you wan't something to show your contacts on your desktop use the Contact List and make it 80% transparent.

Plus! isn't ment to show your entire flipping contact list on your desktop, thats not the purpost of the feature. If you want your entire contact list on your desktop, go back to using ShitCQ, I mean ICQ.

The other thing I can't get over is that stupid address bar in the taskbar, oh lets try and be cool and type in http://msnplus/ seeing how the address is http://msgplus.net

Like I said earlier, if you want your entire contact list on your desktop then make it 80% transperent, thats the best you can do. Or better yet make a program and set the parent window of the Floating Contacts to your program and make them scroll.

My point is that people like to be creative, and not just have a standard view of things.  That's why the car customizing business is so popular for example.  There are other people like me, like it or not, who want to customize their desktop appearance.  This is also why they integrated the abilitiy into the Windows operating systems.  However, it's limited, but open to such designers and programmers as the Messenger Plus team, people who have the skill to program at this level should let their creativity be expanded by their users.

Politeness is your perception.  Why do you try to impose your views on others?  I'm not saying don't stand up for what you believe, calling me rude is the way YOU interpreted me, and to me, the way you interpreted me was rude, so stop being rude

Anyway its true, if u hide the tabs and the ad banner, and make the window 80% transparent u can get a similar effect.

the idea isnt having the whole contact list on the desktop, thats instane

i like it! ill leave it like that lol

You can bearly see the names on your contact list!  It does look okay though, but that doesn't mean the option to be able to customize your msn appearrance shouldn't be integrated.  There are so many benefits, such as attracting more users to the MSN client.
