Well, the next update will not be very soon... because I decided to completely re-write the plugin.
The things I want the plugin to do (like some nifty skin triks) are not possible the way the plgin is programatically setup right now.

What I'de like to do:
- no video area on the main screen, only your own user-status and the friends-list with the details of the highlighted friend, the menu is hidden at the left.
- the "in-call" screen has the details of the ongoing call together with the video area.
- fullscreen in-call video
- Skype-video overlay for the ongoing tv-show, video, movie... kinda PIP
- localization

This also means that the skinfiles will change completely, sorry to all skinners out there...

If anyone can think of something else, don't hesitate to let me know.

I already started rewriting, but as my sparetime is limited for the moment, it could take a wile before I can publish something.

An exceptional work, it will be a great plugin. I am thinking of installing windows 7 for use it correctly lol

@frispy: will it be possible for future Version to use under XP?

 

[Gixxer]

please add the possibility to run skype4mp in the background of mp and if an income call is receive, show a popup message and be able to receive it. even if you are watching video.

The plugin will function under XP, it's only video that won't work.

Yes, I already created a routine that forces Skype behind the MP window, even when MP is not set to "stay always on top". Occasionaly, this can cause a single flicker on making or receiving a call.

hm, only the Video makes it interesting to use for me...
But Thanks anyway for your awesome Work.
I have to think about changing to Win7 for using your Plugin...
