About Messenger-Desktop-Client-Unofficial

Messenger Desktop runs Facebook Messenger in a window of its own,

with native notifications, a tray icon and a few things a browser

tab can't do.

Notifications with the sender's picture, and incoming calls that bring the window forward

Unread messages shown on the tray icon

Do Not Disturb, hidden message previews, and no pop-ups during calls

An optional PIN lock for shared computers

Fourteen color themes for the app window

An offline screen that reloads Messenger when the connection comes back
