aMSN 0.95 is out


Recommended Posts

After more than a year since 0.94, aMSN 0.95 is finally released! [25th December] New features include webcam support, tabbed chat windows, improved skin and plugin support, new file transfer protocol, many new plugins (like Ink and Nudge support), an improved bug report system, as well as LOTS of bugfixes! We hope it was worth all this wait! :)

We also have a new website, which not only looks nicer than the previous one, but is also a lot easier to use and find what you need!

And, best of all, aMSN is still ad-free! :)

aMSN is an free open source MSN Messenger clone, featuring:

? Display pictures

? Custom emoticons

? Multi-language support (around 40 languages currently supported)

? Sign in to more than one account at once

? File transfers

? Group support

? Normal, and animated emoticons with sounds

? Chat logs

? Event alarms

? Webcam support (Detachable Webcams!!!)

? History in color

? Ability to autoclose the filetransfer window when it is finished

? New plugins log window (Alt-P)

? Plugins compatible with supported languages

? Faster loading skin window

? Skins in chatwindow

? Resizable chatwindow bottom

? When you add a new user, you can define in which group you want to add them

? When a contact change status, the top of the chat window changes color ( green for away, grey for offline, etc.)

? New panel GUI to alert when there's a new aMSN version

? Possibility to download the new release directly by aMSN

? Automatically update language files and plugins from the web

? New gui for deleting users (also possible to block on deletion)

? Possible to add notes for each user (XML)

? Support for MSN Mobile service

? Tabbed windows so you can group conversations using tabs

? Status is displayed inside a frame, so it won't dissapear when you scroll

? Display picture in notification alert (like MSN 7)

? Statistics for history (logging)

? Now possible to choose any state for your login status (before it was only possible to login invisible or online)

? Timestamping

But that's not all! More features can be added to aMSN with plugins, or for the adventurous, completely change the look of aMSN with different skins!

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
