Thats mine I've just been spending the past two hours photoshopping for scratch.
(Bare in mind, this is my first attempt at something like this. I usually just edit pictures)

[Image: NotificationBoxcopy.png]

And the accomponing notification box...Just thought would be nice to throw in :P

Also added icons (changed from 3.xx, Taken from WLM 8 and Windows Vista), Not too sure about these though.

In my boredom, I've created some banners and stuff to accompany it futher, These are very plain though...

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.

But those do look great so far.


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by ipab on 02-21-2006 at 11:37 PM

RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Lou on 02-22-2006 at 12:29 AM

I might enter. Not sure yet. Alot of these look really good!

@ Simple me : Yours could be great with a bit of work and sizing:)
@ Cool Rik : I really like that. Different:)
@ hypedupmonkey : That's great! You've got too much time on your hands though (Refering to the banners and etc)


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by matty on 02-22-2006 at 04:31 AM

lj's style I think looks the best so far.


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by ipab on 02-22-2006 at 04:32 AM

lee you are pro (y).

Yours is really cool. Here is my lame attempt at beating it :(.

[Image: attachment.php?pid=608424]

[Image: attachment.php?pid=608329]

the second one is something I was thinking of as a new feature. Perhaps a widget?

RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Chestah on 02-22-2006 at 05:10 AM

Lee Jeffery's is the best :P

It has a new look instead of everyone else's "similiar" designs to the current layout! It also resembles WLM's own UI in the sense of the sidebar containing the option groups etc ;)


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Hank on 02-22-2006 at 05:14 AM

i like traxors saught of.

RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by user27089 on 02-22-2006 at 08:11 AM

How is the contest over, it was only on for 24 hours, I'd say at least do it until tomorrow... To give some other people a chance, like me for instance :p.


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Chestah on 02-22-2006 at 08:26 AM

Traxor i think its time to phone 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 and give it all up to LJ :P

I'm doing one now
Be warned it'll be crap :P


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by hypedupmonkey on 02-22-2006 at 09:39 AM

Do you think I should modify it futher and Make it original?
I thought the aim of the contest was something simple to blend with the WLM GUI and correct me if I am wrong...Mine does that?

RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by hypedupmonkey on 02-22-2006 at 01:16 PM

I'm photoshopped mine from scratch...
For simplicity, I just based it on the original so it wasn't to confusing.

RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Supersonicdarky on 02-22-2006 at 04:46 PM

holy crap this took atleast an hour:

i know the menu looks busy, but o well. mite fix later

edit: maybe make a poll after all submissions?


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Chris4 on 02-22-2006 at 04:55 PM

Very nice Supersonicdarky! Liking the design :)

.. And yeah, menu needs improving a little, but it's a great design.


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by stoshrocket on 02-22-2006 at 05:10 PM



it seems to like the old GUI to me.....

its not supposed to be unrecognisable, it still preforms the same function just with a different look
RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by absorbation on 02-22-2006 at 05:17 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 :)

Then we shall vote for a winner. I can set up a small script to help contribute if you want, I cant be bovered to open Fireworks, too much stuff running :P


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by ipab on 02-22-2006 at 05:18 PM

:p 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 :P

It's not done yet though, and I probably won't be able to post it before a few days since I have to much basket-ball games/practices + school work.. I hope you guys will wait for me before judging though.. I know I won't win, still I'd like to get your opinions.. :)


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,

I damn you all to hell....:D


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.
Btw, hypedupmonkey, your's pretty much feels like 3.xx with a bit of shading and image changing. The icons are good but its so easily recognisable as the same old interface :)


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.
Users are used to the previous interface, so why ruin it? Its simple, its easy...Just jazz it up with new icons and images to match WLM and its a masterpiece. If I was to make something unique and original, I could bet you everything I own it wouldn't be as simple and easy to use as the 3.xx interface.
Also, someone said it had to be simple (which I think it is) yet blend with the Windows Live Messenger. I've tried to do that with the borders and such; Just edited the Windows Logo to the Plus! Butterfuly (In the top right corner) to help distinguish it. If it was to change colour to match the borders of WLM, the borders would blend seemlessly (or I think it would atleast.)

costs too much, think of it this way. There are about 108 testers. If everyone gets a t-shirt and lets tag it at about $10 CAD (which btw is very minimal), then he is running his price tag to about 1080 $$ (oh and lets not forget tax, Canada kills its citizens with tax :P)

You're kidding right? WLM is for Windows XP and above, therefore logically Plus Live is for Windows XP and above. Plus will support the older operating systems, hence its safe to say Patchou can take advantage of newer features that are only available on Windows XP for Plus Live.

@Methos:
a) its too tall to fit on a 640x480 (and even 800x600) monitor :P
b) the way the save/load isnt the same width as reset to defaults annoys me greatly
c) the line linking up general options and the top tab is nice but it wont look right when youre on another tab
d) the messenger plus! live reflection looks dodgy over the top of the general options box
e) close button doesnt really match at all
f) the borders around "Language" and "Help improve.." dont match either
g) blue glow around OK button also doesnt match
h) tabs need a gradient to match main gradient

apart from that its nice (A)


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by stoshrocket on 02-23-2006 at 12:54 PM

a) its too tall to fit on a 640x480 (and even 800x600) monitor :P erm.... good point :P
b) the way the save/load isnt the same width as reset to defaults annoys me greatly they are the same size.... ^o)
c) the line linking up general options and the top tab is nice but it wont look right when youre on another tab you must be thinking of another design ;)
d) the messenger plus! live reflection looks dodgy over the top of the general options box what reflection 8-)
e) close button doesnt really match at all lies!

EDIT: all the other arguments i disagree with, the tabd are meant to be distinguished from the main body, therefore no gradient, the borders do match, they are intergrated form the old GUI, the blue 'selected' glow for OK and Local Settings is to match the new WLM build of Send and Search (the blue and grey buttons)


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by RebelSean on 02-24-2006 at 12:52 AM

Why the keyboard Methos2? Ruins the whole thing for me :S. Nice use of colors and gradients I must say though. Nice job.

@Lee, :banana:.


RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Curtis on 02-24-2006 at 01:06 AM

Keyboard is for message helpers I'm assuming.

You're kidding right? WLM is for Windows XP and above, therefore logically Plus Live is for Windows XP and above. Plus will support the older operating systems, hence its safe to say Patchou can take advantage of newer features that are only available on Windows XP for Plus Live.
I totally agree.

@ Eljay: Now that's a professional design. If my Plus! looked like that I'd love it.

No, YOU are wrong.
Patchou isn't the one designing the GUI just in case you don't know, Guido does it.
This contest is for people to trick as many websites as they could and made people believe it was a real screen shot .

There was no reference to a fake leak anywhere there. Patchou wanted ideas. So nvez thought we should have a contest. Patchou agreed. Nothing related to a leak there.

Actually you are wrong, :dodgy:. This contest is for people to design the best FAKE GUI concept, the winner will be choosen by Patchou and will get a t-shirt. The other "contest" was that the first person to get a website to post news claiming that a concept that was made here was the real thing but leaked, got a t-shirt as well.

What other, it was only one.. On the post i just quoted above, patchou says nothing about making another contest, he's just changing the rules of the existing one.

What you posted was the thing with getting it posted on websites, yes. But if you bothered to read other threads, he also stated:

I totally agree :P. I'm assuming each "page of options" will have tooltips visible on hover so the user will know exactly what they are for. Patchou might want some sort of text visible under each icon so the user knows what options will appear. Not all users will automatically see an icon and go "oh thats what i'm looking for!" :P

I can confirm that: This is merely a competition to help Patchou design the GUI of Plus Live! I believe he stated that this was one thing Plus Live! was currently lacking and decided the community could help him with some designs :).

These forums sometimes remind me of King Lear... people seem to often misinterupt and misunderstand language. :P

I doubt he needs the "skills" of anybody here. He has an excellent GUI designer, Guido, as well as himself to develop things like that.

His go-ahead was to allow the community to have some fun.
RE: MPL! fake GUI Contest. by Chestah on 02-24-2006 at 06:07 AM

Collective skills are far more powerful then those of 1 or 2 people Chris :P 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).

Edit: Oh and i wasn't saying Patchou/Guido couldn't do a excellent job by themselves - i'm sure they will. :)


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.

So go on, keep playing and you'll get some shirts :). But yeah, remember that it's only a game :p.

Na, i was refering to when fake news was posted. Mess.be in the past have done so, either by being tricked (fake MSN Messenger 7.0 for example) or done it themselves :P Something like that could make reader angry at a site.
