my "always on top" doesn't work !!! well it doesn't stay default even if i tell it to "set as default". so it means i have to click "set as default" every time i start msn up, otherwise they just get hidden behind other windows

anyone know how i can fix the porblem to make "alweays on top" selected by default ?


Hi Toddy... make sure you select "Set as default", on the one you want to be set as default globally.

this is due to a known bug, all you have to do is sign out after you've added your contacts to the desktop. In that way Plus! will properly save the settings.

List of special contacts, alias special contacts list.. For as far as it's a list, since, yeah, they really are just seperate objects..  I recon theoretically you could make them into a list by assinging list index values to them according to their Y placement.. but that'll just be either, too hard to implement, too sensitive for bugs, and will basically screw up desktop contacts. if you want them in a list, open your contact list and make a group called "Special People" or whatever.. There, all sorted by on/off line status.
The way it is now, unsorted, is alot better as you can place them on the desktop randomly, (since they are not part of a list,) and allows for alot more dynamics, plus, you always know where exactly one contact is, if you sort it, you'll have to start browsing through the contacts... even merely visually, still defeats the concept of floating desktop contacts..
