For those participating I want you to all keep in mind the GUI/Layout will not be the same as the previous version. The GUI was created to to match Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0562. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by ipab on 02-21-2006 at 11:37 PM

All the designs are nice. However maybe you should try something unqiue, the box sizes all seem to be the same as the old. Experiment to see what cool effects you come up with RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by ipab on 02-22-2006 at 05:18 PM did ya see my round one. That was experimenting, tuned out ok, but not sure its too feasible. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by albert on 02-22-2006 at 05:26 PM
I started working on one.. as bad as my designing skills are RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by hypedupmonkey on 02-22-2006 at 05:28 PM
I see people have started to steal my little Plus! butterfly thingy in the top left hand corner like in the Windows Live Messenger screens, RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by John Anderton on 02-22-2006 at 07:08 PM
Tbh eljay's first attempt was really good. I dont have the time to sit trhough 6 pages of pics so im guessing eljay must have improved his pics somewhere. If there is someone who has done a good job like trax () then tell me. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by hypedupmonkey on 02-22-2006 at 07:13 PM
Yeah, I didn't want to change it much so It wasn't so different and troublesome. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by blackjack on 02-22-2006 at 09:58 PM

Why the keyboard Methos2? Ruins the whole thing for me . Nice use of colors and gradients I must say though. Nice job. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Curtis on 02-24-2006 at 01:06 AM Keyboard is for message helpers I'm assuming. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by RebelSean on 02-24-2006 at 01:10 AM

Collective skills are far more powerful then those of 1 or 2 people Chris and when you're designing a product for 11.2M users i'm sure Patchou appreciates any input into this project (especially from long-term Plus! users). RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Patchou on 02-24-2006 at 08:06 AM
I don't know what you're arguing about. This is just a game, the UI of Messenger Plus! Live has been fixed for quite some time already. We are three to work on it: Guido (as always), Nicolas (a friend of mine who's also a graphic designer) and myself. RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by hypedupmonkey on 02-24-2006 at 11:47 AM I think the game has died...It seems to be falling behind in the "Latest Posts" RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Val on 02-24-2006 at 07:40 PM I'm going to start working on one Will post when done RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by tony on 02-24-2006 at 07:42 PM
