How about a msn messenger plugin that displays your online contacts or your "favorite contacts"

it would be nice to have a simple menu to list my friends, click one and have a messenger window open to start chatting ...

now i have to bring messenger to the front first ...

just an idea

I know Microsoft has an MSN Messenger API available on their site (it uses COM), so it might not be that difficult.

We have just gotten into instant messenging and to have a plug-in to select any messenger service would be terrific. Some services we know of that can do most im's areTrillion,Miranda &Gaim.

I already use Trillian Pro 2.0 for that function. I'd rather not see Yuri spend his time working on a feature that is more suited to other programs.

What I'd like to see is the ability to use IM contacts like shortcuts, so they could be easily organized in popup TLB menus, then with a click, send a message to that person (or group of people). However, in the meantime, I'm happy with Trillian.

I'd be even happier with the ability to put my system tray in a TLB menu Wink

On an unreleated topic, I'd like to see Winamp 5 dock the doohickey video window to the toolbar, like the Windows Media Player.
