Messenger Plus! Live

For anyone who uses Windows Live Messenger, this Messenger Plus! is a free add-on developed by a third party developers other than Windows Live Team. Installing the add-on itself doesn't add too much feature to your messenger, but you could add more features by downloading scripts from the Messenger Plus! website.


Main features of Messenger Plus! Live...
- Multiple accounts.
You can now sign-in different accounts on the same computer.

- Hide and Lock messenger.
Good feature for students and office users. You can now play messenger at your school or office as usual. When your teacher/employer is nearby, just hide and lock all chatboxes instantly with a combination of shortcut keys. (example ctrl+space)

- Contacts on desktop.
You can drag and drop your important contacts onto your desktop, so that you can pay more attention to those contacts on the desktop. Or you may just simply put those contacts that you frequently chat with on your desktop, so next time you won't need to open the messenger to find the contacts to open a chatbox, just double click on the desktop does the job.

- Chat logging.
Unlike the normal Windows Live Messenger logs. Messenger Plus! logs not only your conversation, but everything including emoticons as well.

- Event logging.
You can keep track of all events happened in your messenger while you're away. (example what time your contacts online or change status etc.)

- Logs encryption.
Encrypt your chat log with a password, so that none other than yourself can view your chat logs. Extra privacy for you. ^^

- Auto accept request.
If turned on, you'll auto accept every requests, including audio and video requests, file share requests etc.

- Tabbed chat.
Just like tabbed browsing, tabbed chat makes all chat boxes in a window. Save your taskbar space.

- Quick texts and quick icons.
You could set a shortcut key for a sentence or icons that you use frequently.

- Personalized status and auto-reply.
Instead of being 'away', you can now set your status as 'went out for tea' or 'playing games', 'bathing' etc.

- Further customize your messenger with scripts.
For advanced user, you can write scripts yourself. Or you can just download them from a gallery of scripts written by other developers.

A pretty good add-on for Windows Live Messenger.
Highly recommended.

Have a nice day~
