I don't really talk about scripts for Messenger Plus! Live, mainly because there is a huge amount of them, all with different classes of programming. However yesterday I came across a wonderful, clean and simple script called 'Status Icon' which I feel like I must post about.

The script basically changes the icon for Windows Live Messenger and conversations in the taskbar based on multiple variables, such as your contact's status. It does the job perfectly, and I find it a nice small feature for Messenger. Of course you can already do this with StuffPlug 3, but that currently does not work properly with the new 8.5 beta.

I suggest trying Status Icon today, it may be small but I believe it makes a huge difference to using Messenger.
