Now that looks really good, I have joined the forums and are willing to help with some graphic design. I use to be _cindern but I changed my name, so you should remember my concept art.

Exalted's design looks exactly the same from the "Longhorn Communications" video...if you don't recognize it you can see the video here : http://www.uxevolutions.info/lhcommunicati...'04-UXE.wmv

scroll to 3:35 min in the movie and you'll see

I was aware of this fact and think that once full skinning is implimented later, jase's idea would be a welcome addition to the skins.

  I'm willing to provide mirrors for your project if you would like. Please PM me and we can work things out.

I would suggest contacting ZogoChieftan (aka FaceofDeath) about this because he is the one organizing the main coding and uploading.

[Vice]

ok the Final Design has been chosen and can be viewed at the nova forums like always:

http://zogosworld.sourceforge.net/nova/php...wtopic.php?t=12

There will be an easy to use skin editor integrated soon for people to make there own themes meanwhile if anyone wants to have a go (don't be to elaborate and keep to the design of the program shown) then be our guest.

[Daniel Tablas]

nice graphics clean and simple keep up the good work ;)

Nova Messenger Alpha 4 has been released more info here : http://zogosworld.sourceforge.net/nova/php...wtopic.php?t=17

[Vice]

Just like to add that with Alpha 4 the Skin engine is online you can all start making your own themes for the program, it is stable now and chats fully work. The first skin which you can install yourself has also been posted on the forum.

[Exalted Shadow]

More Skins are now dowloadable from the forums offical theme/skin thread.

Alpha 4 also works great for chatting etc. :D :D

[SatansAceN]

Get ready for Beta 1 to be released soon :D has some cool features...

[Vice]

Just like to say that the beta of Nova that is so close to release is going to rock :p A quick feature run down

Full chat

File sending (via P2P not using MSN servers! = Speed! But is compatible with MSN7 and MSN6 client users)

File lists - create a list full of files that your contact can view and instantly download a file from you

Display pictures in both the contact list and the chat window

Full Font customisation including Colour Bold Italic and any choice of Font you have installed!

Full skinning - currently 4 bundled skins but very easy to add your own

User selectable transparency (0% to 100% selection)

Skin previews

Emoticons (has not been implemented yet but will be fully functional at the day of the beta release)

Status - Away, Busy, On The Phone, etc (has not been implemented yet but will be fully functional at the day of the beta release)

And it is stable and under 1MB compressed right now. It may come just over 1MB with some other features coming into play before the beta release we may release 2 versions, a full release and a Lite release, The lite version will include all the features of the full version but will only have one bundled skin which will be the Default Nova skin.

More features to come! - Please leave any features you want and we will try our best to get them done.

[TimRogers]

Cam't wait for it, sounds great :yes: :woot:

[Vice]

Just thought I would mention again that we do need ideas for features so if you want a feature that other clients don't offer or maybe something that a client you love has please mention it in full detail! don't be afraid to voice your ideas :)

[Eli]

Great. I'm glad this project is running the way it is. I may have to set up a THIRD account so I can run Nexus, Nova AND MSN at the same time.

[SatansAceN]

Just run Nova :p

[Eli]

I would BUT I'm an official Nexus beta tester and I'm liking how this project is going as well. I believe in fair compitition. Like how I run IE AND Firefox on my computer. Or how I run Winamp, Media Player Classic and WMP10. It depends on what I want to do with it.

But yet again, I'm impressed on how you guys are working on this. congrats.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

i think Chat logging (plain txt files) would be a good feature to have, its mainly what i use msgplus! for :p

if you need another mirror PM me, i have some space left, although you probably have plenty atm :p

[Vice]

Would you like the logs to be just like Msgplus ones? with the same type of logging?

Or perhaps you would like HTML logging ? or maybe Both? (user selectable)
