Windows Sidebar Integration is a must.

The side bar is currently tossed onto my second monitor along with my contact list. Both take up a sizable amount of screen real estate and I’m sure it must be death for the single monitor user. One has to go in that case.

Now I love both programs. And I’d love to see some integration between the two. There is infact someone attempting to do it: cener.co.uk/blogs/tom/archive/2006/11/11/windows-live-messenger-gadget-beta-download-00010-public-beta.aspx

Very aesthetically appealing for sure, but, at the moment it’s lacking in functionality and responsiveness.

Secondly, while it may alienate the non-Vista Premium users, I’d LOVE to see some Aero glass styling in there. You guys just have to find a way to pamper us premium users and still accommodate for the little guy. Please? Pretty Please?

Please, I wish only for a best integration with WLMDesktop and more stability when sending rich mails (with so much emoticons and other metacontent).

I would like to see a lite Vista designed theme, a small app that runs quickly, not one of those lite apps that are so lite they are not even usable and they are meant for users who disable unwanted features, but a lite app that is a bit bigger than a Windows Sidebar gadget and has a unique touch to it, Windows Photo Gallery for example has a black bar below the titlebar and makes the app complete, I want to see that on it too, and maybe a flare somewhere in the theme too but this time it can be a bit hidden but still there, and maybe you can adjust the titlebar to make it a bit smaller, maybe a glass border around the window would be nice, because its better than having no glass at all or too much of it. I also would like it to be elegant like Windows Meeting Space is. I would like to see Windows Vista’s features be used by Windows Live Messenger, maybe Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger could have a new feature, maybe one of Windows Vista’s features could help out with Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger having sharing folders but with more features, maybe offline messaging can be better, maybe Windows Search could be better with having something to do with offline messaging!

missing Features :

The goal is to have “all in one” communication center.

- Possibility to buy a phone number, like in Skype. (Very important feature)
- Possibility to have a voicemail, like in Skype.
- Possibility to forward call to a cell phone.
- Possibility to have conference call, like in Skype.
- The conversation log should be saved on the server. (to have history access anywhere, and backup when you change your computer)
- The personalized emoticons should be saved on the server (to have history access anywhere, and backup when you change your computer.
- Personalized Status.

With messenger plus u should be able to find out it people are appearing offline but they are active doing something.

It would be a great idea to be able to turn emotions on or off to stop people sending things that are hard to read.
thanks Josh

I would really like to be able to leave my own personalized status, instead of the boring “away” “busy” etc. Other messengers have had this feature for years and it is an attractive feature too many! If there is a way to do this and I have missed it, I would most welcome the information on how to do this. Thank You3

Please add an item to block groups not only block individual.

for instance, in work hrs, I don’t want to talk with friends, however, off work hrs, I don’t want to talk with co-workers.Please add an item to block groups not only block individual.
