if whenever you finalize the look your template is going for in the mock, just send me the psd and then i will find time to do it...i am thinking of having a template done for this weekend

you can find my contact information at my site (click on the image in my sig)

Looking great!

2 suggestions:

-would it be possible to make the little white "frame" surrounding the black conversation box strand out a bit more? Maybe make it thicker... or whiter... Stefanka's spirit has that around the winamp window and it looks great, just as an example.

-do you guys think it would look better if the dotted white line was dark grey instead (the colour of the large timestamp)?

Also, I vote against the large timestamp, while we're on the topic :) .

Love the concept, good job!

Took into account some people's ideas

1) timestamp removed

2) White lines are now dark grey

3) rounded the bottom of the "file status" box

4) added a much stronger white line around the transparent black boxes

5) created a small "incoming" and "outgoing" symbols in the bottom right of each message box.

6) User status is now displayed.

Thx :D :D, i cant wait to start working on this too, but i got an exam on monday. I'll see if i can do anything after monday b4 my next exam. If i have time i mite even be able to finalize it 2nite, but no promises. I also want to design custom icons for the toolbar on the message window.

Leetl90: ye it was originally a timestamp before i changed it to a status indicator, i'll probably switch back to a timestamp.

Oh don't remove the timestamps, I liked them like that :(, at least make a version with them included :)

ye i was hoping it wasnt gonna be a copy and paste job. Was hopping there was some "stripe" effect option in photoshop or something. Thx tho, ill use ur way.

you create a new document, same dimensions as your desired pattern. then, create your pattern (in this case, a diagonal line), so use the pencil tool to just draw the number of pixels in a diagonal fashion. after you're done this (make sure it has a transparent background), go to Edit -> Define Pattern. Press OK (assign a name if needed).

after this, go to the image where you would like to apply the pattern (correct layer as well). select the paint bucket tool (right click on gradient tool) and for the Fill options (on the toolbar) select pattern. then choose the pattern you created. then just click on the image (to fill it with the pattern)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
