It’s near Christmas and Patchou has delivered an early gift for yourself, family and friends. The gift of the latest version of Messenger Plus! Live 4.50. So whats new?
- Compatible with the current Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta though not everything works
- Skinning Messenger has now became reality. Skins can be found at the Messenger Plus Live Skins Database. Pretty good ones already available to try out now!
- 30 pages of detailed documentation for Skinning your Messenger so you can make your own and share!
- Numerous optimizations, fixes and improvements to Messenger Plus! overall.
I’ve personally tried this baby out. I’m very impressed with the skin quality and for me the best version of Messenger Plus! to date. So do yourself a favour and download the new version of Messenger Plus! Live
While the buzz around is the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta, you must remember that if your considering using it your going to have to go without. Going without I mean, not able to use add-ons such as Stuffplug and Messenger Plus! as neither software are compatible as yet(leaked beta after all!)
Atleast for now Patchou has said compatibility will be expected on the release of Messenger Plus! 4.50, theres no word on when Stuffplug will be. We’ll keep you posted but for now if you love your add-ons, still use Windows Live Messenger 8.5.
Windows Live Messenger 9 has been leaked to net to numerous websites around the globe, sporting new features;
- Messenger Sounds - Configure a signature sound when you come online to your buddies.
- Multiple Sign Ins - For example; Allows you to sign into messenger on the pc as well as your Xbox Live account. Note that it’s only working for registered Beta participants. It should also coincide with the expected Xbox Dashboard Update.
- Contact Spam - You can now block and report a suspected spammer(relating to advertising etc.)
- Animated Display Pictures - Such as an animated gif, Dynamic Display Pictures(DDP’s) which currently can only be made by companies with a Digital License are still around.
Links can be found all over the place and we won’t be linking it to front page. Try Google perhaps ? We suggest you keep using the current version 8.5 till this is publicly released by the Messenger Team. You can also head to mess.be for screenshots.
The final version of Windows Live Messenger 8.5 is now officially available to download. It was leaked ahead of schedule but I thought we’d wait till it was official. The english version can be found here and for other versions heres another 20 languages which Mess have provided. Also the only thing noticeable is the fact there is finally Vista x64 support(Yay!)
Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese-Simplified, Chinese-Traditional, Croatian, Czech , Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese-Brazil, Portuguese-Portugal, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian
Project Messy aims to enhance your Instant Messaging experience by adding colorful and custom content such as Winks but more interactive and fun. Here you can find screenshots of what you look to expect on using it.
