hmm, well i've downloaded the Mess.be Edition of MsgPlus, and its working great apart from the tabbed convo's.

When switching between conversations via the 'Tabbed Convo's' it makes the conversation window gradually smaller, getting smaller and smaller each time i switch between tabs. It starts by making the height of the window smaller, until both mine and my contacts display pictures are squashed together (obscuring the 'View contacts webcam' button on their display pic area) and once its as small as it can go in height, it starts to make the width of the window bigger, spreading towards the right...


Any ideas?

This is most likely caused by Windowblinds, are you using that? If so uninstall that and the problem will be gone

Ooh, i see, yes i am using it but it makes XP all nice and shiny, i suppose i need to make sacrifices... unless theres a fix

Nope, no fix asfar as i know.

I think you are better off without Windowblinds anyways, it can seriously mess up the OS (this goes for almost all, if not every tweaking program btw). You can go a long way by using the build in Windows themes and setting a background/wallpaper

Edit: you're welcome

If i remove the window frame, using the the little button in the top left, it works, so i can just use it that way

Thanks for the help

I knew about Windows Blind but I didn't know about htis workaround, thank you for sharing it . I'm sorry about the WinBlind issue but that's something they have to fix, not me.

NP Glad to be of a service

I was trying to figure out why it kept doing that. I too have Windowblinds. I'll just hit the lil arrow to hide the frame around the window.

hi! im new here.
the program Windowblind has an option tha can exclude a program, like MSN. you just have to select the .exe ( of MSN messenger) and ignore it. like this:
opne the windowblinds, go to settings, per application, add per application setting, select the msnmsgr.exe ( executable of  MSN in MSN messenger folder) and then, select "total exclusion", ignore this applicatio and dont skin it.
so, only this program will be excluded.

sorry by the poor english, im Brazilian!
bye!

hmm im using windows blinds. thanks that window frame option works. Is it likely tho that an update will be made for windows blinds users. Its just im lazy and am not one  to keep cliking that window frame everytime i need to use the toolbar at the top   and sorry i tried using the user over ride option but that didnt work for some reason.
