  • Latest Changes

    - The Messenger Lock feature has been fixed. A new icon is added to the tray in Windows 7 if an unlock keyboard shortcut is not specified

    - The default Messenger Lock icon in Windows 7 has been changed to blend in better in the new UI (hourglass: shell32.dll,323)

    - Note: the jump list of Messenger will work properly when using the Multiple-Accounts (polygamy) option but you'll get the options for only one of your Messenger clients

    - Tabbed chats display a proper preview (peek) picture with a list of currently opened chats. Chats waiting for input are colorized in the thumbnail and Alt+Tab or Win+Tab combinations also display the proper picture

    - A couple of other minor fixes here and there to make the Windows 7 experience complete

    - The settings of your scripts and skins can now be exported from the preferences panel and re-imported back

    The fact of the matter this author initially used deceptive dialogs (that have been clarified in more recent versions) to install the adware AND pushed adware to users during an online upgrade without a consent or asking their permission, along with hiding himself using domains by proxy as a domain name shield service should speak for his lack of integrety...
    Not worth the risk vector

    if ur 13y/o and love chatting on msn (wlm) then you NEED this!

    if your a noob and end up with adware after installing this.. you should of picked the misleading sounding option that reads: "I refuse to support", sounds mean, but thats the choice that does NOT add adware :-)

    No adware if you dont want it to be adware.
    3 stars because of removing support to remove the ad's.

    Hey n00bs....it's adware only by CHOICE! The developer has been kind enough to allow you to choose to install the adware or not. I never do and the program works just the same.

    For me it works great, and having tabbed chats is marvelous.

    The adware is optional, so for those confused by choices this isn't something you should use (as can be seen from the commenters below).
