Comment(by Universe_JDJ):

 That's great news! As I'm primarily a MSN user, my contact list has been
 growing more and more unreadable as time goes by. Thanks for picking this
 up again.

Comment(by Universe_JDJ):

 Unfortunately, switching average users over to another protocol never
 works. In my area, everyone uses MSN exclusively, and it's essentially
 impossible to change that.

 Well thanks for the link mastropino but it would be nice to have it
 included into mainstream and maybe compiled for windows too. I don't
 actually know any windows multi im client that have color nicks support
 for msn :P
 Waiting for updated version ^^

 I fixed some little things, and now it works with Pidgin 2.5.5. I didn't
 try it on other platform, but It should work anyway.

 Next step: gradient colors :-)

 FOR PIDGIN ADMINS: I think you should include my patch in trunk, because
 it may be useful for other purposes, besides Plus! color tags.

 You need to modify the patch to address the issues (the first two at
 least) brought up by [#comment:15 elb].

Comment(by daniele_athome):

 Replying to [comment:15 elb]:
 > This patch looks like a memory leak waiting to happen -- it strdup()s a
 string returned from a signal and discards the signal result.  I would
 generally expect the signal handler in a situation like this to have
 allocated the string it wished to return.

 Already fixed, I'll post the upgraded patch tomorrow morning.

 Replying to [comment:15 elb]:
 > It's also not clear to me why this signal is named "drawing-buddy" and
 takes a buddy as an argument, but seems to be utilized only to return
 markup for the buddy's username.  A more specific signal name which
 indicates this rather limited scope would be appropriate here.

 The name is absolutely not self-explaining, you can change with anything
 you want :)
 The handler should a have a buddy because of the information it can
 retrieve; passing only the buddy alias string could not be enough; for
 example, the plugin should colorize the buddy only if the user hasn't
 defined a custom alias.

 Replying to [comment:15 elb]:
 > It looks to me like the whole purpose of this plugin is to handle MSN's
 ill-conceived username markup language; this is something which should
 properly be handled by the MSN protocol plugin.  Perhaps a signal should
 be emitted from the MSN protocol plugin to the effect of msn-buddy-parse-
 markup, with a default implementation of simply stripping these codes from
 the nickname.

 In windows, Plus! nicks are managed by a windows live messenger patch
 (that is messenger plus!), and it is not a protocol extension; all is
 based on having that patch installed; that patch will render colored nicks
 correcly.

 Masca just pointed out that this patch won't affect the drawing of the
 buddy name in the conversation window, which is problematic.
