Alright, you might remember when I released Advanced Display Picture about half a year ago. Many features were highly requested, and thus the potential of this program was very great.

But, it was my first large-addon, and I made a few mistakes. It didn't work for some people because it requires the Messenger API. The people that did use it, probably didn't use all of its features, because of the maybe-not-so-user-friendly-GUI.

As you might know, I'm most of the time very busy, and most things I started aren't even released yet (MEWS , SpeakIt)

This is why I talked with Destruction (the developer of Display Picture Manger), to take a look at my project. I can announce you he will be in charge of the coding from now on, and you can expect a version 2 of ADP to be released (may still take a few weeks-months of course).

This new version probably be a plugin, have a better interface, and probably some other features.

Ye, I am extremely pleased to take on such as challenge, I have been having a good look at the project seeing how best to go about it and I have started work.

It will have a complete new look, new features and of course we will be making it into a plug-in for msgplus!

Screenshots will be added here as soon as possible and we hope you will all like it!

Nice to hear! Hopefully that will give you more time to work on others plugins Juzzi

And Destruction, I'm sure you'll do stm nice Ill be waiting

Sounds great Juzzi and Destruction

I'll definately be downloading it once you make it into a Plus! plugin

hey juzzi you still got taht silly animated display picture app we made

Was ADP the animated display pictures thing that was intented a LONG time ago but never got finished....?

Nope, check the description at this thread: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=30...d=294927#pid294927

@fukafly: I don't think it's worth to release that code, it really wasn't that special.

hope to see it soon

twas entertaining though having a spinning 7 up can

OK guys, I have been having a play around with different bits, I am mainly concentrating on the design at the moment and I think I have found a winning formula.

I have attached a screenshot of the design and I would appreciate any feedback.

As you can see the right hand bar is the main options which have a mouseover effect as you can see on the information one.

The left hand side is going to be the main frames, and basically I am just hoping to make it much better and more customizeable.

I hope you like it, see the screenshot below!  cheers

p.s keep in mind what it looked like before.

almost everyone prefers menu's on the left matey

I don't think you can really say that mate because unless i see you show me an actual poll of results stating this over a long period of time then...

also different = good in my opinion. I don't want to be the same as everyone else with their plug-ins.

I have a question.  Does it have a list of pictures that just spin?  Or will it allow us to import .gif animations for our display pictures?

We will see about the menu but at the moment I am keeping it on the right.

I will try and get some more screenshots up very soon, it will take time but i will get there.

will it support the ability to set different dps as default for different messenger statuses (default ones and plus ones)?
to change them automatically by adp2 when I change the relative status?

looks and sounds good to me destruction, keep it coming

It will allow you to add different display pictures and have them like a slideshow
