Maybe it's just MY plus behaviour (WLM). Tell it to me if I'm the only one heh

Let's say I have 5 contacts in a tabbed chat. I am currently chatting with contact #3 and I minimize my window. Contact #4 messages me (So normally the chats task will now blink in my task bar (start menu bar). BUT (and that's the point of my post) the nickname showed in the takbar will be the contact #3 which is NOT (stating that contact #3 didn't message me back) the contact that messages me.

Is it possible that when I minimize my window the contact name in the task bar changes to the FIRST contact that messages me. It would prevent me from search which of my 20 contacts is messaging me everytime. Plus, sometimes I don't feel like reading a contacts message right now and I feel reading another ones

Thank you for reading, I really hope my english is understandable

This isn't a feature in Plus!, however, I believe it may be possible, may be possible to create as a script, and if not, I'd find it useful aswell.

Maybe someone with a bit more scripting knowledge can tell you whether it is possible or not.

EDIT: And yes, your english was very good. (Alot better than some others that ask for help...)

Thank you for your great comments and answering this fast

Tell me if I'm right ; when I had MSN 7.5 with the appropriate version of Plus! I think this was a feature. I mean if I am right contacts name were changing. So that's why I asked if it was my problem. But if you tell me it's not a feature of Plus! maybe bringing it back (if I'm right that  MSN 7.5 Plus! version was doing it) with Messenger Plus! next version would be great. And if it's possible trought a script it would be a great idea too

AFAIK, I don't think it was in Messenger Plus! for  7.5, but to be honest, I can't remember, months since I used 7.5 and Messenger Plus! 3.xx.

Hence why this can't be "a feature of messenger 7.5", however but it was a feature of Messenger Plus! 3...

Sorry, I knew that, I'll rephase it.

But this had problems too although many people didn't noticed them, they were there, even in Messenger Plus! 3. Hence why it was not included anymore in Messenger Plus! Live.


Anyways,
