meh, to be honest I don't think this is something people are gonna dig.
Like yeah I'm all for the old school messenger resurrecting (like 8.1 and 8.0 beta). But this is like going from XP back to windows 98
Plus because the UI relied more on windows back then it would be too much of a pain to get that working properly if at all
btw not every suggestion that is put up on the forums is gonna get made
so please don't take it the wrong way if ideas just remain ideas.
