O.P. Cool  Feature request for floating contacts
I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice if there was an option to nail your contacts on your desktop. That's a lot easier than always on top, and the normal one isn't great either.. (H)
A second thing is that if you 'save as default', the size is saved too, because it's kinda annoying that i have to change the size all the time. (H)

I don't know if that already excists, but if this is included in the next version of Plus! it would be great :)


This was it for today..:P

Hmm.. Looks that this is my first post on the forum, didn't notice hehe

You can right click your desktop contact, go to Change Display Settings and uncheck the Always on top setting :)

It's not going to take that much time to Set a desktop contact to Always on top or not, This is not a desktop Messenger its a place for those special contacts (Friends, Girlfriends)...

Nice idea though

RE: Feature request for floating contacts
and i just noticed something. i like to put contacts on the bottom right hand corner and dock them together. then let's say contact A is right at the bottom and contact B is on top of it(not overlapping i mean docked on top). contact A signs out and the floating window disappears. i move contact B down. when i use the comp again, and both contact A and B are online, B's floating window will overlap A's. i wonder is there a way to prevent this or hope patchou will do something about this :)

Oh yeah, one other thing, can you disable the sounds (like oh my god, etc..)?

Sorry if I misinterpreted your request, but what exactly do you want? The 'normal' thing seems to do exactly what I think you want it to do. Can you elaborate your request a bit further? :)

Some programmes use nail to desktop, others use pin to desktop.. :) But what i mean with that is that if you go to your desktop (windows + D), that the floating contacts are just 'nailed' on the desktop, and not that you have to click a programme first, to show them.
For example rainlendar, a little calendar, has that feature too.

To make it easier, i'd like it if the floating contacts can stick on the desktop when you go there, without clicking on a programme first. :)


Pff.. I hope you can understand now? hehe:P

That's just a problem with windows + D; it does that to everything.
