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

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
