WLM beta: usability/visual Improvements (Tray Icons; Page Curl; AP

I would like the ability to Disable *Change your scene Page Curl* thing (as I
hover over Display Name & Personal Status it can be annoying)

I preferred the previous *Tray Icons*
The Square-DOTs are distracting can't the Tray figure just change color
instead!?! The Square-DOTs in messenger are I like.

I liked the *glassy look* changing colors nice, but I prefer the slick look
to a dry color.

'Available' status blocks my name...size and I have to stretch messenger out
to accommodate.
....in addition...
My Display Picture doesn't need to fade when I appaer off-line it could be
like IE7, icons or text options.

Animated-PNG support would be nice

Ability to also Disable *Groups* display

First they could try to increase the 200KB file size limit for the animated
GIF.

Hi,

200k is rather large to be honest, compared to say AIM's 7k-ish limit.

You mentioned the 2 main things which I also didn't like about v9.0 =)

- (Available) status blocks name
- groups cant be removed

Also perhaps a few options to change size of contact names...

And yes the tray icon could just change colour as was used to show the
contact's status in earlier versions of Messenger.

The group's creator should be allowed to delete it or perhaps have groups
unused for a long time automatically deleted.
