my 2 cents.

The GUI is better than the last one, and it is starting to grow on me. it looks the best in light colors (just like the previous build looked best in dark ones), though it was quite a shock to have it come up in dark blue. There are inevitably going to be problems, I am sure that they know about the fellings for the GUI by now - over 45 votes/24 validations on connect about it.

Does anyone realize that sometimes at the end of each message carries over a letter from a previous message?

It's confusing, but if it happens to you you'll know what I'm talking about.

It looks VERY retarded.

Yes, it happened to me with the :-P emoticon... Very odd problem!

Who said I'm not a beta tester ?

Proof below:

That doesn't mean you're a beta tester. If you were invited by someone, you're not a beta tester. Only the actual beta testers have been given a link to this build thus far, and that's the way it's SUPPOSED to stay.

That is really nice work Luppy!

However, I feel that I have to comment on the interface itself of the chat window (which has nothing to do with your theme). Why is Windows Messenger in general, and in particular Live so little customizable? I have to rely on 3rd party tools like A-patch to make it more cool. Microsoft really suck when it comes to customizations and options.

From what I've seen, the recent build for WLM has a lot of faults such as no contact hovering (I like this feature), an inconsistent and noisy UI and somewhat limitied contact displays. But as it is still in Beta, I hope this is just a Build where they are testing out a few features. For now, I'll reserve my opinions.

Because obviously no one's leaked a copy to the A-patch creator, yet.

Of course he has it.

It's because patching wlm gets rid of sharing folders, because it does a hash against the files to see if they have been modified or not.

So it will be a while for wlm patches, as you will need to bypass that security, or you will do a msgplus style hack (editing wlm in memory) which is quite limited.

Ok I haven't got an email about the new refresh and I wasn't invited to the beta by another user, however I received an invite during the second wave given out by microsoft. Is this why I don't have access to the link on my connect page?

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Sekyal · Posted

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
