Description of Messenger Plus! 5.10.0.748

Add-on for Windows Live Messenger

Messenger Plus! Live is an add-on for Windows Live Messenger which adds lots of features and extras that make your instant messenger easier, more useful or just tons more entertaining. Messenger Plus! Live is the one essential add-on for Windows Live Messenger, period. After 150 million installations since 2001, when it started as a simple add-on for MSN Messenger 3, Messenger Plus! is guaranteed to improve your Messenger experience by leaps and bounds. You won't just get a couple of new options, what you'll get is a whole new dimension for the Windows Live Messenger software.

Thought out end-to-end to improve and enhance your instant messaging without getting in your way, Plus! adds lots of capabilities to Windows Live Messenger. It lets you use them at your will from the simple Plus! menu that gets added to every Messenger window and a couple of new buttons you'll find within the Messenger interface.

Key features

• Tabbed chats - Use a tabbed web browser? Even if you don't, you might find tabbed conversations useful for organizing your chats by converting a myriad of windows into a simple single one. Vertical tabs on the left, normal tabs on the top. You name it. You can also use tabs to group just some special chats and keep all the rest in normal windows if you want.
• Quick Texts - Tired of always typing the same? Meet quick texts and text replacements: automatic and customizable messages that can be sent with a simple shortcut or typed command, or automatic text replacing to use written shortcuts or using it as a word filter.
• Custom Sounds - The Custom Emotion Sound feature brings sound integration in Messenger to the next level by allowing users to send their own sounds during a conversation. Sounds are played instantly on both ends and are transferred automatically and transparently when needed. New emotion sounds can be easily created from existing sound files (such as MP3s) or can be recorded live from a microphone or other audio source but, if sound authoring isn't your thing, thousands of sounds can be found in the public database or imported from sound packs.
• Colors, formatting and commands - Messenger Plus! gives you the possibility to choose any color you want for front and background, and add formatting, such as bold, italic, underlined and stoke-out. It also lets you control almost every aspect of Messenger via text shortcuts called commands, much like the ones in traditional IRC chat rooms.
• Recharge your Messenger - Various additions to manage your contacts and conversations
• Personalized Status - Create custom away or busy statuses with a special name tag, personal message or even an auto-responder. Set a timer to reset your status in a certain time and organize presets to reuse common statuses.
• Messenger Lock - Be it for security in shared computer environments or for avoiding your boss (which would be wrong wrong wrong!), this feature lets you lock Messenger with a simple shorcut (or Plus! menu command) and hide it in the system tray with an inconspicuous icon, the ability to password protect it and to automatically send a message to your contacts to inform them when you have locked and unlocked your Messenger.
• Contacts on Desktop - Similar to what ICQ used to offer, you can show the status of any desired contact on your desktop in the form of small floating windows. You can drag and drop messages or links into these to send a message to the contact, or drop a file to start a transfer.
• HTML Chat Logging - Messenger Plus! Live lets you keep logs of all your conversations in a much more flexible way than the original Messenger ones. Heck, Plus! let you do that for years before MSN Messenger added it as a standard, though not perfect, feature. But what does Plus! Live improve over it? HTML Logs: beautiful styling and the flexibility of files you can take anywhere
• Emoticons and Winks - Everything is logged, even custom emoticons are kept and winks shown as thumbnails
• Log viewer - Shows you all your logs sorted by contact and date within Messenger Plus!
• Skinnable logs - if you get tired of the default style of logs and know CSS or get a custom.css file, just drop it in your logs folder and change their look!

What is new in version 5.10.0.748

• Skinning: comments enclosed in "/* */" are now supported in style files.
• Once the installation is completed successfully, a web based 'Thank you' page will be launched.
• Once the uninstallation is completed successfully, a call is made to Messenger Plus! servers for statistical purpose.
Compatibility with Messenger 2011 Beta 1 has been removed and replaced by compatibility with the Final version (still un-supported and requires disabling safe mode):
• Skinning is now supported in Messenger 2011 with the exception of custom window shapes.
• Skinning: UIB files can all be properly decoded and re-encoded (windows definitions and styles can be skinned).
• Skinning: resources from new locations are now extracted from Messenger.
