Guys the concept was based on another concept, lots of original stuff, and all 3 of us playing around in photoshop.

My idea was that we let neowin users design names and logos for the messenger, and then we will pick one if we like it :)

SO COME ON AND POST SOME :D

Ok at the moment im dealing with a nasty bug...

it will only let u use hotmail.com and hotmail.co.uk accounts for some reason :'(

gonna have a fiddle and try and fix it, KoL was the first person to 'outside' BETA test, but he did get a stupidly buggy version :p

Thanks for all offers of hosting etc their great.

Please contact me if you want any technical answers as GHL is the designer.

Audio Visual Support? - maybe... it depends how well it goes when i get to that stage.

Thanks for comments, keep them coming!

habonator: excuse me? this entire graphical user interface was created from scratch. i did not 'steal' anything, please do not accuse me as i take it seriously. and what you were referring to were CONCEPTS by an artist whos obvious inspiration was similar to my own, the "ipod look".

Yeah sure. :rolleyes: Thats why the news posting providing this screenshots i've mentioned was removed by request of Microsoft on December 6th.

i want it :( so bad...

anyways i'll stop posting that as I havehad too many bears and I'm aware of that, but again, keep up the great work and hopefully the beta will appear soon for everyone :)

[edit] If you need help designing windows or something i'd be glad to help :D :yes:

I seriously do not want anything on it but msn... it completely messes my contact list up when i try to use a multi messenger program.

Keep it like this :)

/edit one thing that would be nice though, would be the possiblility for it to check more than one email account. :ninja:

any .net passport.

we are only going for the MSN protocol so no inter-messenger aim stuff etc, just to .net passports.

and we now know we can impliment display pics in the list and custom status's perfectly, its all coming together:D

and for those of you who have seen the new msn (released 10 mins ago) you will see that its UI is SERIOUSLY over cluttered now, they are trying to cram everything in one place which is what we are NOT doing.

and for the guy who is ranting about that concept art that was requested to be removed ages ago: my inspiration is ipod.

anyway as for MEM usage, its a bit of a whopper at the moment, i need to make the rendering a little better, and the code atm is messy as **** so lets hope it gets better. :)

Whilever you're using .NET, resource usage won't drop that much. NET has to be the worst platform ever for resource usage. I wrote a simple MP3 player in VB.NET and it used 26mb idle?! :wacko:

But it (GMessenger) does look nice. It's a shame it isn't being written in C or something though.

i agree i have the new msn and it is far to clutered.. i do like your design however atm the list looks like if i had 40 members online it was go on for about 40 pages;\ this may be something to consider also i did think that it might be a nice idea to do ofline msgs as you do in icq i believe. where your program stores it untill they come online and then they show up. just a thought

great work ghl the gui atm owns msn's

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
