All we need is a template making, but as I'm crap at template mods, err mods in general I thought I'd post it here, I've managed to get my site into MSN messenger already, just need a template to suit!
for example if I edit the file ConfigCache.xml in the folder D:\Documents and Settings\John Robins\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\1234567890\
OK to show I'll list the code in the file to show what I mean-
<MsgrConfig><Simple><br /> <Config><br /> <ExpiresInDays>0</ExpiresInDays><br /> </Config><br /> <Logitech><br /> <PreRollEnabled>1</PreRollEnabled><br /> <WebcamConfigServer>http://mlocate.spotlife.net/locate.sxml</WebcamConfigServer><br /> </Logitech><br /></Simple><br /><TabConfig><br /> <msntabsettings><br /> <oemtotallimit>1</oemtotallimit><br /> <oemdisplaylimit>1</oemdisplaylimit><br /> </msntabsettings><br /> <msntabdata><br /> <tab><br /> <image>res:bell</image><br /> <name>MSN Alerts</name><br /> <type>Alerts</type><br /> <tooltip>The Alerts tab lists all of the alerts you have received in the last 24 hours from MSN Alerts</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://alerts.msn.com/alerts/alerttab.asp?Country=00&CLCID=0809&PLCID=0409</contenturl><br /> <hiturl>http://c.msn.com/c.gif?DI=2308&TP=http://messengertabs.msn.com/gb/Alerts</hiturl><br /> <siteid>31560</siteid><br /> <notificationid>111200100</notificationid><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab><br /> <tab><br /> <image>http://www.expedia.co.uk/eta/tab_plane01.png</image><br /> <name>Expedia</name><br /> <tooltip>Travel with Expedia.co.uk</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://www.expedia.co.uk/pubspec/scripts/eap.asp?GOTO=IMTAB&EAPID=632-3</contenturl><br /> <hiturl>http://c.msn.com/c.gif?DI=2308&TP=http://messengertabs.msn.com/gb/Expedia</hiturl><br /> <siteid>2237</siteid><br /> <notificationid>000000000</notificationid><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab><br /> <tab><br /> <image>http://www.lastminute.com/lmn/mstab/images/tab_image.png</image><br /> <name>lastminute.com</name><br /> <tooltip>View your special deals from lastminute.com!</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://www.lastminute.com/lmn/mstab/mstab_index.jhtml</contenturl><br /> <hiturl>http://c.msn.com/c.gif?DI=2308&TP=http://messengertabs.msn.com/gb/lastminute.com</hiturl><br /> <siteid>7499</siteid><br /> <notificationid>111400800</notificationid><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab><br /> <tab><br /> <image>res:money</image><br /> <name>MSN Money</name><br /> <tooltip>MSN Money</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://uk.moneycentral.msn.com/messenger/tab.aspx</contenturl><br /> <hiturl>http://c.msn.com/c.gif?DI=2308&TP=http://messengertabs.msn.com/gb/MSN Money</hiturl><br /> <siteid>2503</siteid><br /> <notificationid>111100102</notificationid><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab><br /> <tab><br /> <image>http://tescotab.tesco.com/tescotab/images/tab.png</image><br /> <name>Tesco.com</name><br /> <tooltip>Tesco.com.

you'll see that you only need to edit the text between <tab> and </tab> to add another site,
to change how I'd potentially want to change my tabs to read-
<msntabdata><br /> <tab><br /> <image>http://www.audi-sport.net/asnet.png</image><br /> <name>Audi-Sport.net</name><br /> <tooltip>Audi-Sport.net Recent Posts</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://www.audi-sport.net/ubbthreads/dosearch.php?Cat=&Forum=All_Forums&Words=&Match=Entire+Phrase&Old=1day&Limit=25</contenturl><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab> <br /><br /> <tab><br /> <image>http://www.audi-sport.net/asnet.png</image><br /> <name>Audi-Sport.net</name><br /> <tooltip>Audi-Sport.net Who's Online?</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>http://www.audi-sport.net/ubbthreads/online.php?Cat=</contenturl><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab> <br /><br /><tab><br /> <image>https://ubbdev.com/threadsdev.png</image><br /> <name>Threadsdev</name><br /> <tooltip>Threadsdev.com Recent Posts</tooltip><br /> <contenturl>https://ubbdev.com/forum/dosearch.php?Cat=&Forum=All_Forums&Words=&Match=Entire+Phrase&Old=1day&Limit=25</contenturl><br /> <hidden>false</hidden><br /> </tab> <br /><br /> </msntabdata><br />
it just needs someone who understands the code to create a page or two for all of us, If it's possible I should be able to have threadsdev and audi-sport.net both sat in Messenger while I'm at work and just flick through recent posts via the tabs
btw it'd be nice to be mentioned in the hack if anyone ever does it
I am not sure though it could be that it will integrate on other environments, I just didn't see any other documentation than Windows. Here's a little more info on this
