RE: Contact status indication in window's icon in taskbar
Just a little notice that I made a little script to display status icons (for you as well as contacts) yesterday. I'm adding a few options to it when I get home from work. You will hopefully eventually be able to use 8.5 or 9.0 icons independent of WLM version and hopefully be able to set any icons you wish (more advanced users really I feel)

ATM, it uses LoadIcon, but seeing as it's deprecated, I'll take a look at LoadImage as well.

IIRC, the actual taskbar icon will only show your status. The other window icons do actually change though. At work at the moment so I can't test it. I never actually got around to adding an options window to my script, might carry on a bit tonight with it

My script changes that ;) It sets both the big and small icon, meaning that should change too

Wait for my script then. Plus, it has the old 8.5 icons, 9.0 icons, or the 9.0 ,squares to choose from for both contact list and chat windows ;)
