That is a nice feature that they added there, I'll be downloading this tonight.

Here's some tips from Major Nelson. TJ and I were trying to figure out how to get the overlay to work earlier, so here it is.

Going to sign in to Messenger:

• When you are not signed in to Messenger, pressing Windows + M will take you to the sign in screen.

Going to start a conversation:

• When you are signed in but don't have any open conversations, Windows + M will take you to the Messenger screen where you can start new conversations.
  Note: if you have any open conversations, Windows + M will not take you to the Messenger screen. You'll have to bring up the Guide (Windows key) and navigate to Chat->Messenger Tab.

Going into overlay mode:

• When you have any open conversations, Windows + M will bring up the overlay over whatever you are doing. You can see the last few lines of a conversation and enter a message. This is a great way to exchange quick messages while watching a movie or playing a game!

Getting out of overlay mode:

• You can dismiss the overlay the same way you brought it up, with Windows + M.
  Tip: you can always get to the Guide when an overlay is up, by pressing the Guide button on your controller or the Windows key. This will dismiss the overlay and bring up the Guide

Switching between conversations in overlay mode:

• You may have more than 1 open conversation. In that case, when you bring up the overlay, you can cycle between the conversations using Ctrl + -> (right arrow key).
  Tip: if you are in the overlay, exchanging messages with contact1 and you get a new message from contact2, you'll see a blinking icon that will tell you that you should cycle to that conversation to see the new message!

Note: if you are using a Mac keyboard, substitute the Apple key for the Windows key.

So has anyone tried to adjust their VGA settings to the more black mode and if so, where can this be found to change?

It's in the same place where you adjust the resolution: change it to expanded and it will make the colors look a lot better.

So this messenger cannot be used with AIM?
