Msn 6 Tab

[A.M.A.]

With the new MSN 6 (still in beta) there is a way of using Tabs to shows some web contents, for example the ten recent posts of YaBBSE forum. Do you think that a mod to do this will be useful.

I've never used Trillian ... does it support such feature.

Have a url about this, I've never heard of it.

There are some VB Arabic forums using it right now. I'll post a link when am home.

If MSN 6 can do rss, 1.6.0 already does this.

And, it already does this for Trillian perfectly.

That is great!
any how here are the steps to make this work:

1-you need to install MSN6.

2-after installation and running MSN and login to your account a special folder will be created on you HD.

3-browse your C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\MSNaccount\ConfigCache.xml
where username; is your windows username, and MSNaccount; is your msn sign-in address.
you may need to enable Show hidden files and folder in the Folder Options.

4-open the file ConfigCache.xml and search for <msntabdata> add after it the following code:

<tab>
<image>http://www.yourdomain.com/YourSmallTabLogo.png</image>
<name>forum name or site name</name>
<tooltip>tooltip text</tooltip>
<contenturl>http://www.yourdomain.com/MSN/</contenturl>
<hidden>false</hidden>
</tab>

Where <image> should be 28x28 transparent non interlaced png file, and <contenturl> should be some html or php file that uses similar layout of the other tabs in MSN; small fonts, small images ...etc.

I did not test that yet .. but I think it should work.
