Tabbed Chats getting increasingly smaller when changing between contacts.

As per topic, I have been having issues for over a month with MsgPlus and WindowBlinds.

basically if I use the Tabbed Chat function when I am chatting to 2 or more friends, each when I switch between them the chat window gets increasingly smaller until it is impossible to read/use.

I spoke to the devs there who said to the exe to the exceptions in WindowBlinds, but that makes it all like like crap, as it defaults it to Windows Basic scan (which I hate).

I have asked again today in there but do not know if I will get an answer, so I am asking is there anything that anyone can suggest here, or maybe even an update to fix the issue?

A link is given at the top of this thread to the question on MsgPlus forums.

Whats the point of having an app that can skin itself if we are advised to remove that function to get it to work?

I think the problem is right there....
MsgPlus uses it's own skinning, which might "clash" with the way WB would skin it.

The only current solution would be to exclude MsgPlus from being skinned by WB, but as you said... it makes it look crap ;)

Thanks for the reply, strabnge thing is, it used to be fine both could co-exist. Sadly I use msn more than I do blinds, so have foregone using WB skins until this gets fixed, have gone back to using VS's
