Messenger Plus! 5.50.0 Build 7601. There are numerous instant messengers available to Windows users, so everyone can choose the one they like best, then modify it to fit their specific needs and preferences – this customization can be performed either by adjusting the tool's settings or by installing a third-party app. An instant messenger that falls in the latter category is Windows Live Messenger which can be tweaked and personalized using Messenger Plus!, a tool that seamlessly integrates within it.
Messenger Plus! adds a new menu within the main window of Windows Live Messenger and users can easily select the function they want to deploy.
One such feature is the Event Viewer that enables people to view a detailed log showing the exact time a certain account logged in, as well as the status messages they used. Additionally, one can also use the Chat Log Viewer when they want to read the chat archives stored on the host computer.
A handy function provided by Messenger Plus! is that it can create desktop shortcuts for specific contacts selected by the users, so they can quickly start a conversation, appear offline exclusively to that person or access the log. Not only can users set this contact box to be always on top, but they can also modify its colors to match the OS theme or the desktop wallpaper.
Another valuable feature is the skin creator which comes with an intuitive wizard that guides users step-by-step into designing a personalized look for their IM client. They can replace the standard background images with their own custom ones, change the font color for the contact names or groups, along with the appearance of the status message.
The Preferences window offers even more functions that can be configured to make Windows Live Messenger more suitable to one's necessities. For example, Messenger Plus! can act as an email verifier and notifier for POP3 accounts, an encryption utility for the chat logs (to prevent unauthorized access) or as an automatic auto-responder when the status message is set to Away. It also offers support for multiple simultaneous accounts.
To sum up, Messenger Plus! can modify both the looks and the functionality of Windows Live Messenger without affecting its performance or the chat experience.
Features of
Messenger Plus! 5.50.0 Build 7601:
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!
Event viewer and event logging:
· Contact sign ins and sign outs, status changes, display name and personal messages changes. Everything can be logged and archived in XML-based files which you can view from your browser.
· You can also use the Event Viewer in the Plus! menu to view this info in real time, to find if a certain contact signed in earlier or analyze their status changing behaviour, or even their musical tastes!
Contact List Clean-up:
· Easily view stats about all your contacts (last sign in, when you had the last conversation, etc.) and clean your contact list deleting old and repeated contacts.
Polygamy (run multiple Messenger sessions):
· Just check a box in the Messenger Plus! Live Preferences and you'll be up and running for logging into more than one Messenger session at the same time, all integrating with Plus! correctly and without patching any files.
Requirements:
· Windows Live Messenger
