When you are in Presentation Mode on Vista Messenger will change your status to busy so you can avoid the embarrassing situation of everyone reading your IMs! Don't worry if you want to show Messenger in your presentation you can turn this off (Tools->Options-> Personal-> My Status -> Show me as 'Busy'.). Here is something you will hopefully never need to use, but it is there just in case in the help menus. We noticed people look in the status menu to sign out and so ta-da now you can sign out from the status menu. In 8.0 all our icons got an update but we forgot a very important one. Just click the cell phone icon in them main window for a good time.

You now have a quick way to send SMS to a phone number or add phone numbers for your contacts. hint: typcially in the featured section the first 4 are free. They include a recently used list and easy access to featured content so you can get new emoticons, winks, background and display pictures to use.

Also no more squinting at an icon and trying to figure out what it means the actions on the card are now listed out plain and simple.Įmoticons, Winks, Backgrounds, Display Pictures Instead of a flip it does a slide to toggle between the Spaces and Contact information. The contact card has gotten a updated look. If you would prefer they stayed in place you can turn this off (Tools->Options->General -> Sign In -> 'Use the same display picture.') Now your display picture and personal message will follow you too. Your display name follows you any place you sign into.
