Messenger Plus

I just found a cool add-on called Messenger Plus! for Windows/MSN Messenger. It adds a bunch of great features that I've wanted Microsoft to add such as:

  • Chat logging
  • Personalised status messages
  • Quick text shortcuts (e.g. I configured /t to type "Are you there?")
  • Text recall - recall the last messages you typed
  • Window transparency
  • Change the silly "don't share your credit card" message
  • Disable ads

    There are plenty of cool tweaks in there for everyone. It installed without incident (didn't even sign me out), and the interface is very cleanly integrated. It just adds a "Plus!" menu to your Messenger contact list and message window, plus a configurable "Share" icon above the message typing area.

    Highly recommended if you use Messenger a lot.

    Warning: the Messenger Plus website will give you annoying popup ads.
