WLM doesn't use the system color for menu bar
The menu bar in WLM's Contact lists, which appears if you press Alt, doesn't use the system color. But it uses the system color for the hover effect.
This looks ugly on non-default themes.
Use system color.

Improve Share on the Live Toolbar
The Share button on the Live Toolbar allows the user to share a webpage with the entire public. It posts updates to every contact in the persons network. Sometimes a shared page is only pertinent to a small set of contacts. For example, a technical article (more...)
Add one more field to the form that displays when you click the Share button. This field will default to everyone or public or just "Shared Favorites", but it will be a dropdown menu that also lists each of the other user defined Shared Favorite (more...)

[Groups] TMI on WL Groups' What’s New list.
If a group member start’s a new discussion, the What’s New list includes the name of the user, name of the discussion, and the name of the group (e.g., Greg posted Stuff on Group). Outside the group that makes sense, but inside the group, the group (more...)
Inside the context of the group, the update needs to be amended to only include the name of the user and discussion (e.g., Greg posted Stuff). The group name is not necessary inside the group pages.

Bring back Shared Folders
I know you took them out for a reason or whatever. And I know that there is Live Sync. But it took me forever to get my dad to use Shared Folders, and I don't look forward to teaching him something new.
Please integrate Live Sync with Messenger in a way that is similar to how Shared Folders used to work. I believe this has been done with WLPG to sync photos?? I know that we are limited to 20 Synced Folders which won't be enough for most people's (more...)

Allow custom order of banner links
The Home Profile People Mail Photos More MSN links cannot be customized by the user.
Because different WL audiences have different agendas, you're never going to satisfy everyone with a single standard. Allow each user to define what appears on the "top 5" of their own WL banner. Anything else drops into the More category (more...)

[Messenger] Change 'Appear offline' to 'Appear unavailable'
At the moment the statuses are:
- Available
- Busy
- Away
- Appear Offline
The appear offline doesn't match in my opinion.
Change it to:
- Available
- Busy
- Away
- Appear unavailable
to match the 'Available' status.
I know it's not a huge issue, but it would only be a simple change.

Show only the first 20 people online in a group in Messenger - not the entire membership.
Instead of listing every member of a group and limiting the group size to 20 or less to allow group chat why not list only those actually online and not limit the overall group size.
List only the first 20 members of a group that are actually online, and allow them to group chat. Do not show the 21st and later online person or show them with a special icon indicating they are not available, and do not let them in the chat. Show them (more...)
