What is iMessenger?

iMessenger is a Modification of the original Msn messenger, It contains better usage, quicker access and more understanding. Originally this was a creation I was going to make just for me because i loved the mac style look for msn.

iMesseneger was going to be a standalone messeging protocol for Neowin.. the project was cancelled because soo many people didnt like the idea and little did.

**old**

Hi people, Didnt you all expect more in msn 6.2?... well i forsure did!!!

so i have decided to make a a Personal Msn .. i have no name for it yet but it will be diferent to the one you use. i will change a bit of the layout and stuff.. ill start working on it first thing tomorrow... I need some beta testers too hopfully this is going to be good.. wish me luck hehehe...

Adding a Dynamic display pictures is going to be neat, but I am with Zero1 on this... How are you going to do this? I like that you are really changing starting to change MSN Messenger.... The more change the better MSN messenger will look...

Oh well I give up. Twice I have asked to see a list of what is new, and the only response was a really defensive "I made it for me, not you" style.

You have done nothing new, reshacking is not hard. I thought this was gonna be a cool product, but really you are just collecting things done elsewhere.

Nothing against that, but why trumpet it up to be better than it is? You did feel the need to make a forum, so why?

[dougkinzinger]

Again, I agree! :D

You also realize that if you market it as "iMessenger" you will be infringing on Microsoft's trademark.

You can call it a "skin pack" but you can't re-engineer or re-market/re-distribute it.

Not that you will listen to what I say, because you seem to hard-headed to do so anyway, but at least you now know that when you get a Cease and Decist letter from Microsoft you will know why.

Good point. Reverse engineering MS technologies is maybe not a good idea! LOL

I 2nd that, you did say you were going to make a messenger which has more features but that won't work using reshack. To add features you'll need the source code or make a 3rd party app which adds functionality to the messenger. So basicly you'll have to start programming (I don't know what Messenger was compiled in, C#?)

I liked the idea and I respected your enthousiasm, without it you won't get far. But don't make promises you can't fullfill.

You mean animated? How are you going to do that?
