DigitalResource Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Don't you guys think they should implement that spinning MSN logo from Mac's msn into the Windows version of messenger? it looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalResource Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 Yeah at school we sometimes use the mac, unfortunatly, but anyway :) I thought the logging in thingy was way cooler than the standard windows one. But i cant remember there was a RED guy in that spinning logo though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconman Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I tried to replace with the Mac Spinning Logo but it didn't work maybe someone with more experience will have more luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CustardFD Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'll have a look at replacing the logon animation that appears when you have entered your sign in details. I might have to cut some frames here and there to make it the right length.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalResource Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 Yeah because those frames are visible in resource hacker right? so it should be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxikk Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 this would be cool if it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardFD Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Ok. I've done it, but somehow messed up the icon - messenger is now invisible in the system tray. When I have time, I'll fix it and post the replacement exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxikk Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 can you post screenies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardFD Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Ok, the only animation in MSN (that I am aware of) that has more than two frames is the loging on logo - and messenger will only display that in 1 bit colour. Therefore, the best I can do is: which is 20 frames taken from the 32 frame animation It still looks pretty smooth Get it here Those on slower connections will be able to appriciate the two minor errors in the conversion that I have made!

0sit0 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 i don't like it in black-n-white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardFD Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Originally posted by XP-RTM i don't like it in black-n-white Not much that can be done about that. If you save the bitmap in colour, messenger just displays it as a block of grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iampedro Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Is Mac that far advanced over PC's in that we aren't able to have something look like that for us as they have it also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardFD Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I'm sure a proper hacker could enable full colour animations if they wanted - I assume messenger has has the capabilities locked up somewhere. I'm not a hacker though - I don't know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
