infopen - send ink messages with msn messengerMSN Messenger 6 is all about "expressing yourself" and from now on you can also send just about anything you draw with your mouse directly as an instant message -so-called "ink message"- to your contacts!

Just download InfoPen and show off your creative skills, just like Timothy did in the screenshot to the right :p

You contacts don't need this software installed to receive the images, but tell them to download it from Mess.be if they want to try it out themselves!

>> Download InfoPen (18mb) and don't be scared by the Chinese setup.

JimmyL is on rampage! Another Java game contribution from the french developer. This time he revamped Minesweeper and added a little stressfactor to the gameplay.

Also, Koen recently restarted his development efforts in order to deliver Backgammon as the next custom MSN Messenger game!

BTW, respect to Neil for redesigning games.mess.be! It looks terrific... along with the popularity index added by Koen (Hangman's your favorite folks!)

 More Messenger Plus! 3 News
More Messenger Plus! 3 News

dwergs says ( 25 Feb 2004 ):

 

messenger plus 3As announced previously, the upcoming new version of Messenger Plus! focuses on user interfaces. Most of the original windows created one year ago for Plus!2 have already been redesigned, the preferences panel included. The new preferences are better organized, more clear, and with more options.

Of course, despite what some of you are thinking right now, there will be brand new features in Plus!3, including but not limited to:

- Word Filtering, when you receive and when you send (see screenshot).

- Redesigned Quick Icons with 5 configurable panels, automatic custom emoticons detection,...

- Plugin preferences panel to enable/disable/configure plugins differently in each account (see screenshot).

- More multi-format options: 68 pre-defined colors, special auto-formatting panel, ... (see screenshot)

- Text Search function (see screenshot).

- Helper panels to select commands or enter command parameters while you chat

- No more permanent chat messed-up. Plus! now has a built-in auto-fix feature that detects placement errors in a chat and fixes them.

- Auto-accept feature for file transfers and other requests (like web cams). This feature can be enabled for specific contacts only if you want.

- The Personalised Statuses have been redesigned, the options are more clear and you can choose who receives your automatic message.

Again, this is just a preliminary list, there's much more to come. It's safe to say that the final version will be released sometime at the end of March or at the beginning of April.

 Openwave links to Microsoft features
Openwave links to Microsoft features

dwergs says ( 25 Feb 2004 ):

 

The world's largest software maker said that it had joined with Openwave to develop software to be featured on the smaller company's latest version of specialized software for cell phones.

Both companies said the decision to offer such Hotmail and MSN Messenger features was in the hands of wireless network operators. The new software platform, called Openwave Phone Suite V7 Platform, will be offered beginning in March.

Although access to Hotmail and other e-mail systems has long-been available to mobile phone users through software provided by companies such as Openwave, the deal extends such capabilities to a wider range of phone models, including many current data-enabled cell phones.

Such phones would also be able to alert other users of MSN Messenger to detect whether a cell phone user was online and able to receive messages, a feature that is currently limited to higher-end cell phones and handheld computers.

 Updated: CE/DP Stealer 2.0
Updated: CE/DP Stealer 2.0

dwergs says ( 23 Feb 2004 ):

 

The second most popular MSN Messenger 6 addon (Messenger Plus! still holds the title), CE/DP Stealer has been updated to version 2.0! This software scans, views and rips your buddies display pictures and custom emoticons (once viewed) by one simple click.

The CE/DP Stealer is now faster than ever before! New features include automatic adding of MSN display pictures, easy zipping of emoticons and display pictures, manual renaming and a beautiful new interface!

Its creator Sherv has decided to make version 2 dependent of adware called nCase. Please be aware that you are forced to install it if you want to run this addon, but by doing so you will financially support the developer.

UPDATE: The version of CE/DP Stealer 2.0 we offer on Mess.be doesn't REQUIRE nCase to be installed anymore. It does auto-install the adware but now you can remove it for example using the nCase removing utility.

>> Download the new CE/DP Stealer 2!

>> The adware-free CE/DP Stealer v1.4.5 remains available.
