Changelog(Release date:30/06/2009)

Enable/Disable Live Messenger 2009 Photo sharing

Photo sharing was added to WLM 2009 wave 3 onwards. What this feature does is it starts photo sharing automatically when an image is dragged into the messenger window.(pretty cool at the start). What’s bad about it is that if you need to send an image photo sharing is enabled and it takes up your space in WLM window making chatting a nightmare.

So how do we disable Photosharing?

There are two ways this can be done…

1. Patching msnmsgr.exe using a HEX editor

2. Using a 3rd party plug-in for Messenger Plus Live

while the first option removes photosharing permanently the second one gives you the option to change it when you want.

Messenger Plus Live 4.80.356 released

Messenger plus 4.80.356 has been released finally. This version is fully compatible with Windows Live Messenger 2009, and also has a lot of improvements made on it specially the scripts and skins section. Read the official post and feature list below.

After a longer than usual beta period, the new Messenger Plus! is finally ready and can be found in the download section of this site. Of course, the main attraction of version 4.80 is full compatibility with the latest version of Messenger, Windows Live Messenger 2009, and when we say “full compatibility”, we mean just that. You won’t find any ”light” trimmed-down version of your add-on here.

Despite the lack of visual changes in the software, the change log shows that many things were done under the hood. As often, scripts and skins in particular got their good share of improvements. There are now more than 500 of them in the official databases of this site. This means that you could spend the next month customizing Messenger with Plus!, its scripts and its skins and you would still haven’t seen everything. Big thanks to all the developers who keep on working on these improvements to make our daily IM life better.

In addition to the bug fixes and cosmetic improvements, this new Messenger Plus! also allows external developers to modify Messenger’s encoded windows’ files (UIB files) like they did with previous versions of Messenger. More information about that can be found in the skinning documentation. Note to all the developers reading this: Messenger Plus! is not required to be installed on your users’ computers for this feature to be used. The UIB files generated by Messenger Plus! can be read by Messenger just like the original ones which means that you can do the modifications you want on your system, encode the files and distribute the final result with your application.

Messenger Plus Live 4.70.334 Out

New version of Messenger Plus is released. See change log below:

• Messenger Plus! is now better prepared for the future with several internal changes.
• New feature: you can now paste very large chunks of text and pictures into a conversation. Messenger Plus! detects pasting operations that are not originally supported by Messenger and, when possible, generates a temporary file to send to the contact.
• Emotion sounds played by Messenger Plus! are now played in stereo. This fixes problems caused by faulty hardware or drivers that do not handle mono sound files properly (resulting in incorrect playback or no playback at all).
• New feature: all scripts and skins can now be automatically updated! this will ensure you always get the benefits from the latest versions of the components you use without worrying about them.
• Almost all the current scripts and skins are supported by the system. Update check is done once a week, as usual, and you can force a manual check by using the /checkupdates command in any chat window.
• If an update is available, you will be notified once automatically. If you choose not to install a particular update, Messenger Plus! won’t prompt you about it anymore unless another update is available. This was done to remove the annoying factor of this kind of auto-update procedure.
