Now that the 8.5 cogs are set in motion, all what's needed is the eagerly-awaited Mess Patch, with its 80+ features to help you make Messenger your own. So what's new in this release? - Another HOT exclusive option that transforms your conversation window to look like the contact list (see screenshot here). - A new option to remove partner links from the display picture window (as requested by Markus). - Patching profiles have been removed. - Bug fixes: Dynamic display pictures now appear properly when viewing full-sized display pictures in the contact card (reported by the andyman), in addition to a dozen of other minor bug fixes. Worthy of your attention, is that this version of Mess Patch shows a license agreement page if any of the ad-removal options is selected. Advertisements are what keep Windows Live Messenger free and we discourage messers from removing them. Please make sure you read the license agreement thoroughly. PS: This is an English-only version of Mess Patch, expect a multilingual release sometime next week.
