Hey this build is quite nice :)

Whats up with the grouping on the messages?

Yeah that's annoyed some people. If you want to turn it off (ie have it as usual) go into options >> Messages >> Tick the one that says show contact says before every message. Restart messenger and you're good (Y).

Why can't my contacts see what music I'm listening to?

The feature that shows song information works together with Microsoft Windows Media Player, and you may need to turn on the necessary components manually.

  • 1. Start Windows Media Player.
    2. Press ALT+T.
    3. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    4. Click the Plug-ins tab.
    5. In the left pane, click Background.
    6. In the right pane, select Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in.
    7. Click OK.

I think this build is an improvement over the other builds except for one major part. The colour scheme is still too light. The way you could recolour build 562 was absolutely perfect, and I really hope they bring that back instead of the really washed out colour schemes that are in this build.

We are talking about Messenger Plus! Live aint we, not just the regular Messenger Plus!

It works perfectly.

I think I understood that we're talking abt Msg+ Live.

I just have this problem and can't read the "colored" pseudo

but maybe this option isnt in msg+live..

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
