User Feedback

With some users feedback, here is a new optional view mode of monkey messenger:



The default option at 32x32 is still available as well as 24x24, 48x48 and 96x96 with different layouts, image sizes and text sizes.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Any ideas or comments, please, post it! :)

Almost forgot! Please, if you are interested subscribe on the monkey messenger mailing list at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/monkeymessenger-list.

Monkey Messenger Engine

For anyone interested on coding protocols. The library used on monkey messenger to connect to the msn network and provide functions and events is DotMSN. Originally DotMSN only supports the MSNP9 (msn protocol version 9). I have changed it to support MSNP11 which adds a few more features. The target is to change it to support MSNP15 (the current protocol). If anyone is interested i've spoken to Bas Geertsema (the DotMSN author) and with his permission i have created a sub-project to target this. The project is hosted at google code: http://code.google.com/p/msnp-sharp/. I will be changing monkey messenger soon to use MSNPSharp instead of DotMSN. Any questions about this can be sent to me thiago.sayao@gmail.com.

UI Changes

Vinícius Depizzol has sent me some mockups with really nice ideas, so i have implemented some of them:
  • The top bar (which we call owner info) now follows the gtk+ theme
  • Removed the status combo from the top and integrated it on the top bar
Here are the results:

He also suggested some nice changes to the conversation window. I will implement those as soon as possible :)
