FILE TRANSFERS
Make file transfers appear in a fixed point of the window (ex. at the
bottom/top of the window). The main problem is that we need to use the
scrollbar every time to check if the file has arrived. It's a mess. File
transfers could be shown in a different window. Make them be togheter.

GROUPS
Add the ability to block/unblock an entire group. Add the ability to use
different status for differents groups.

INTERFACE WINDOWS
Wlm shoud let the user see the borders and the menus in all kind of windows
when we choose the option. It's ulgy to see the glass border in the main
window and not to see it in the chronology, contacts, friend list, etc.
windows. When you show the glass border on Windows Vista, wlm has a grey
border (1px) inside the glass border. You should remove it.
Change the two down arrows in the details contact window (it is used to show
contact details vs blog). You should put something that resembles to vista
arrows.

CONTACT LIST
I would like to have the image shown for my contact list in different sizes.
For now, it is too big and I can see only few of my contact per time.

I believe the idea is that you forget about it until the file arrives. The problem with the
fixed point is that supporting multiple transfers is a difficult.

In fact this is what I do for now... but it is not that simple. In fact when
you share photos or multiple files (why the 3 downloads per time limit?) it
starts to be difficult to track the downloads' status because of transfer
failures, for exemple.
Why that difficulty about multiple downloads? I explain my vision of the
thing: if you decide that 3 downloads per time is the limit (server limit?),
you can make the conversation window expand in vertical to contain three
download bars (at maximum) which show the status of the three files. These
bars are not unlimited as 3 is the limit. That is my idea. You could use some
"aero" animation to expand the window as vista does when you select "show
details" in copying files' window.
