2 quick tips:

For it not to appear always on top go to the tools menu.

If install fails go to documents and setting/local data/temp/uk456.exe and run it *** Delete your messenger folder from program files before doing this. And it will install perfectly.

Wow im impressed with this build i thought i would really hate it but its pretty damn good. P.s took me 4 times till it updated.

Just tested the new live contact info.

Click on your Display Picture.

Flip your personal contact card.

Et voila ! push the Live Contact card to enter your info and select with who you want to share personal or business info

NB : Better to select Custom ... to have the choice to enable your infos visible for selected contacts

hrmm, i will post a screen shot of this when i come home, but there's this chunk of blank space under my contacts. how the hell do i get rid of it?!

[Storm]

Eh, it's being a bitch to me too.

I'm about to uninstall the connect build and then install the ideas.live build, then try the auto upgrade. Maybe that'll work.

it does :p :)

I got the new build to install on the second try.

They need to just update the download link on ideas.live.com to this new build. A friend of mine is on his 10th try on updating it right now and still nothing.

When the download finishes close WLM unistall previous versions..make sure you delete all the contents on MSN Messenger folder. go to your windows temp folder and locate the installer. its about 14 mb and its name is in random letters.

[grunger106]

The thrid time is the charm...:p (that's how many times I have done it...)

And oh yeah, anyone noticed this?, it looks like a new way to organize your contacts...

How did you get the big display icons for the contacts - i just have the little MSN7.5 Style icons.....

[Storm]

they fixed the convo bug, new toasts too :)

[sn00pie]

I used the auto-update and it works fine... :D

Thanks alot dude!

[nitronix]

ooo thats good, for once im impressed, just need aptch now to get rid of the adverts!

so annoying, the adverts are for things i already own!

[spikey_richie]

Mine has just updated. they seem to have taken 2 steps forward, and 1 step back.

The tray icon is back to original msn 7 icon, and stepped side tab has disappeared... looks good though

[-hurley18]

lol reporting my first error :pinch:

[wutang01]

Finally got it working. Uninstalled 562. Deleted MSN Messenger folder. Installed 365 again. Went to Local Settings\Temp and found the 13.5MB file

Installed it. And now 566 :D

IMO ... it looks better now. Hope the icons will be replaced. The look is now simplified but still stylish

Old one looked better. Only improvment is the status icons IMO.

[Corris Veteran]

i much more prefer this one to the earlier one 562 one

the whole colouring thing clooks much better, it doesnt ahve that annoying seperation across the top in 562 for the title bar that made some colours horrible

it looks much more refined, though i would prefer new icons

it sill has that annoying red pixel in the taskbar -_-

all in all, much better than the previous two builds in my opinion :D

[SpiralDream]

Well 5x times trying to update, now updated and not that great. Too "white" for me. And even with others colours still white too much. In 562 I complain about those old MSN icon and now it?s even worse LOL. Well I loved that hover effect on first WLM build and with the time going on I think that WLM is going more and more like 7.6 ou 7.7 version but not 8.0 at all.

Let?s hope this change.

See ya.
