Messenger Plus Live
An add-on for Windows Live Messenger which adds lots of features and extras

Messenger Plus! Live is a plugin for Windows Live Messenger that will add lots of features and extras that make your instant messenger easier, more useful or just tons more entertaining.

Here are some key features of \"Messenger Plus! Live\":

· 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.
