BuddyMessageUX-Free is a BuddyPress plugin.
Default behavior for the buttons is to take you to your own profile – to compose and send messages from there. 
Why? Why not stay on the profile page you are viewing?
Fortunately, BuddyPress makes it easy to replace the functionality for those buttons. 
With this plugin you can stay on a profile page and send private or public messages to that member.
This plugin uses the default WordPress ‘thickbox’ code.
If you need… 
* the ability to style the overlay 
* adjust the javascript 
* or prefer the use of ajax
… you might be interested in the premium version here:

BuddyProfileMessageUX Free

WordPress Notification Bar

I have been using a notification bar plugin with just 1000 downloads and I decided to change to something that has more downloads thinking it would have more featured. But this plugin barely has any options unless you get the PRO version. I'm not sure why the others have given it 5 stars. It barely has any options.

Awful looking and very limited
