O.P. [Request] Custom Contact List Title

I have been using polygamy for a while now and was wondering if it is possible to change the contact list title bar text to determine the right account for the right contact list.

For example:
[Image: WindowClippings_26234.png]

Instead of them both being "Windows Live Messenger":
Left: "Account1"
Right: "Account2"

This way it will be obvious for people using polygamy to see what contact list is the correct one.
Is it possible with a script?

It isn't that hard to do... simple with a script.

Javascript code:
function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart) { OnEvent_ChatListWndCreated(); }
function OnEvent_SigninReady(sEmail) { OnEvent_ChatListWndCreated(); }
function OnEvent_ChatListWndCreated() {
if (Messenger.ContactListWndHandle === 0) return;
var lpsz = Interop.Allocate(2*Messenger.MyEmail.length+2);
lpsz.WriteString(0, Messenger.MyEmail);
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, 0xC /* WM_SETTEXT */, 0, lpsz.DataPtr);
}

}

Thanks for your help, but for some reason the title text only changes when the account is signed into. If the contact list for that account is closed and then reopened, the text no longer changes.

Haha, no problem, I appreciate your help.
Working perfectly

However, I do have one additional request

Since every account is different, I was wondering if a "check" could be done to see what email it is and change the contact list title text relevant to the email.

I'm not sure how this is done in .js but something like this:

if (email == blah@live.com) return "Account1"
else if (email == moreblah@live.com) return "Account2"

Any ideas?

function getTitle(){

else if(Messenger.MyEmail == "moreblah@live.com") return "Account 2";
else return "Your WLM has been hacked!";
}

str = 'Account 1';
break;
case 'johndoe@live.com':
str = 'Account 2';
break;
default:
str = Messenger.MyEmail;
break
}

var lpsz = Interop.Allocate(2*str.length+2);
lpsz.WriteString(0, str);
Interop.Call('user32', 'SendMessageW', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, 0xC /* WM_SETTEXT */, 0, lpsz.DataPtr);
}

However you would think that email addresses would be easier!
