[Messenger] Change 'Appear offline' to 'Appear unavailable'

Submitted by JTaylor69 on September 19, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

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.

Submitted by JTaylor69 on May 27, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

At the moment, if you accidentaly close a chat, and you wish to carry on, you have either wait for that person to speak, or find the contact in a list.
If you have lots of contacts, and it is hard to find a person using the word wheel, this may (more...)

Propose a recent chats category to enable users to quickly jump back into a chat with their contact.
Of course this will be optional to the user and can be enabled/disabled from the layout tab in options.

Submitted by JTaylor69 on March 23, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When the Messenger window is maximized or resized it pixelizes the scene or makes it distorted.

Fix the scenes by stopping them from becoming pixelized.
This includes the default scenes.

[Messenger] Show Display Pictures in Previews Instead of Windows

Submitted by JTaylor69 on March 22, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

Instead of showing the windows, show the display pictures in the taskbar.

Show the display pictures of each contact you are talking to in the preview area.
(Mainly applicable for Windows 7, but hopefully could be done for Windows Vista too)

[Messenger] Change my name window

Submitted by JTaylor69 on March 22, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

There should be a much longer field to input names especially if people like to go for long names (nearly everyone I know does)

Create a seperate window that can be opened when either of the following steps are taken:

Solution 1:
1. Click Name in Contact List Window
2. Click Change My Name...
3. Window Appears

Solution 2:
