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
