Everything you
wanted. And more.
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.
Yet, simple and
easy to use (and customize)
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
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
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!
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.
Plus endless
extensibility with the Scripting
Architecture
Messenger Plus! Live provides its own
scripting environment to developers who
want to add their own features to
Windows Live Messenger
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
