im a former trillian user who has had to convert because trillian loses lots of msn messages. i hate messenger... but ive been making it better/ getting used to it. there are some stuff that could be better still though.
-minimize to system tray
this is so stupid. you have to close the window in order for it to minimize to the system tray! i want it there all the time! theres gotta be a way to do this...
-remove the whole top options bar
i like the window to be thin, and when its as thin as i like it, the bar doubles up. its so ugly and i dont use that stuff anyways. could skins cover it altogether?
-sort by custom name and/or status
i went ahead and renamed everyone (using plus)... but its not organized by the new names! hell. i want to organize it any friggen way i like! also, can i organize by status? all the online people at the top of the group, then away etc...
-timestamping and history
plus has a history... but it keeps it hidden away. in trillian, you can see old conversations in new message boxes! its convenient to see what i was talking about last time... also, is there a better timestamper than the one in plus!? again, i like the trillian style
-skins?
is there a skin community for msn? i downloaded one, but its strange. you have to replace the whole program file... is that usual? what if its a different version of messneger? its this one... i was doing some reading and apparantly its a 'reshack'? its nice... it removes the stupid top bar. i need more info!
so yeah. those are my complaints. any tips and hints would be wonderful. anyone trying msn beta 7? is it any good? all ive heard about it is theres gay stuff like nudges. WHEEE.
