RE: Help fix bugs in Floating Contacts
Being able to put your contacts on your desktop rules!

However, I spent the last 4+ hours making a nice background to store all of my contacts. It worked great until I restarted my computer and they ALL scrambled. :S I don't want to replace them all every time I restart my computer. PLEASE make it so they can stay where you put them! I don't want my 4 hour background to go to waste!

Also -- Not only do they scramble but they return to the colors you set as default. I sort my contacts using the seperate boarder colors. If it could save this information that would be awesome, I want to keep my list on my desktop.

Thank you Patchou and I'm looking forward to new improvements. You've made MSN infinitely better than AIM.

I know but I have the females with purple outline, males with blue. When I restart my computer ALL contacts scramble all over my desktop and all turn to the default (which I set as blue outline). This makes me have to replace them ALL, and switch the outline color back to purple for all the girls on my list.

Using Choli's tweaker or using the rightclick menu is EXACTLY the same.

At least it should be, and that is also the thing that KirbySSB is talking about (and the others); it is exactly the bug what Patchou is talking about: The settings for the contacts aren't always saved properly (on top, colors, etc... etc...). And if it isn't saved properly then it can't be read and it will change to the default settings...

I wouldn't mind it as much, except look at this! I spent so much time on it and if I have to replace them all every time I restart my computer.. screw it then :( but on the news page it said "Never use your contact list again!" and that sounded awesome.

RE: Help fix bugs in Floating Contacts
It was never meant as a replacement for your entire contactlist... Also, the bug will be fixed (and new things added). Have patience ;)

Also "Never use your contact list again!" is a catchfrase, an advertisement banner. And catchfrases in advertising should rarely taken 100% seriously (watch the TV and some commercials, you'll know what I mean ;)). Although you _could_ put your entire list on the desktop, but as said, it was never meant for that. The purpose of the floating contacts is that you can always keep an eye on those few special persons without opening your contact list....

I guess it's just a waiting game (H)

And yeah I know it's not supposed to be an entire replacement but I never use my desktop anyway.

O.P. RE: Help fix bugs in Floating Contacts
Sorry for this problem, it has been fixed in version 3.21. In the meantime, just remember to sign-out before you exit Messenger and your floating windows will be saved :)
