Here's an ongoing list of changes and new bits in the new Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta (14.0.5027.908) that went live today (see post below):

- Changes we mentioned before when the first screenshots appeared: change your dashboard background ("scenes"), big inbox icon to the right, Personal Status Message separated from "music you're currently listening to", colored display picture frames to show current status, new buddy list icons, What's new feed and relocated promotional tabs.
- Favorites and Groups features, left-aligned display pictures in the convo window, added Segoe UI font... All as previously discussed here.

New discoveries:

- Hover-over contact options menu (Send an IM, send an e-mail, etc.)
- New Layout tab in Tools > Options allows you to customize the appearance of your contact list window (screenshot).
- New (softer) sounds for contact signing in, new e-mail, incoming/outgoing voice or video call, new Windows Live Alert and nudge.
- System sounds now have the same editor as signature sounds.
- Links in display names are not clickable. Those in PSMs are.
- Say goodbye to "Out to lunch", "In a call" and "Be right back". The Messenger statuses are now limited to "Available", "Away", "Busy" or "Appear offline".
- New "What I'm listening to" icon.
- Chat history button added to conversation window.
- Sharing folders feature makes room for Windows Live Skydrive: Click Files > Publish files online in the conversation windows. NOTE: Clicking "View your online files" in the hover menu on your own Display Picture opens a faulty link (skydrive.live-int.com instead of skydrive.live.com)
- New Display Picture options (currently greyed out): Webcam snapshots and Tile with moods.
- Clicking your Display Picture in the main window allows you to change your Display Picture again (in 8.5 this just showed your contact card).
- Word wheel now offers Search for profiles and Live Search options.

* Spunky haz... Goes to test

45 minutes after trying to install, and Windows Live Installer crashed ...

Why do Microsoft create such anti user-friendly software .

why do they bother to invite us to private tests then release before even having those tests?

ATTENTION when installing this software.

1) Here on my machine (Vista x64 Ultimate German) it deleted all restore points and created a new one from scratch in the middle of installing the suite (not at the beginning), making it impossible to restore the system to a pre-install state.

2) It is NOT possible to uninstall this software anymore once it's on your machine, when you click on the uninstall icon nothing at all happens (restoring is useless, see point 1).

3) Reinstalling the old Windows Live Suite doesn't work either. The installer returns some sort of fatal error message.

4) It is NOT compatible with the actual Messenger Plus! (although that was clear anyway, how could Patchou make a release in hours hehehe).

I guess I'll have to delete it manually and go through all registry entries. Microsoft needs new programmers and testers, period.

whoo..
could update my skin now

I will download it when Plus and all my favorite skins will work with it.

There will not be a compatible version of Plus! before the official release of WLM 2009.

Can anyone post screenshots of the new features and the new design if the previous one changed? I don't want to update so if anyone updated already and can post some screenies, it would be very useful.

I like this version, I think I'll stick with it.

Edit: It even shows updates for people in your contact list but has blocked/deleted you

Doesn't work for me !

On my laptop as soon as a start messenger it comes up with messenger had to close, do you want to send an error report to Microsoft!

On my desktop it takes ages to sign in and then it just hangs on the sign in screen. With mail live, it also takes ages to sign in.

Anyone got any ideas?

sounds like a job for my sandbox virtual machine

Looks nicer that the previous design. Not that there is much difference but I think it is even more clean. The new features look great too. Thanks for the screenshots absorbation. Now that the beta came in its public phase, when do we expect the official release?

It will take time to get used to it, but I think it'll be ok after that.
It's just that I can't live without Plus!, StuffPlug and A-patch, so I'll stick with 8.5 for now

As for the issues Islander posted:
1) I don't use system restore, so I can't comment on that.
2) It's definitely possible to uninstall the beta, just go to (the Vista equivalent of) Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Live Beta (all programs), click edit/remove and uncheck Windows Live Messenger to uninstall the software.
3) It's always been impossible to install an older version of WLM over a newer one. Following the uninstall procedure described in 2) should solve this problem.
4) As you said, that was clear anyway

---

Any optimizations or is it more CPU-resource hungry than 8.5?

Also, did they fix the speed bug which the first leaked WLM9 version had when you were connecting from multiple places?

On my laptop it asked me to exit the Task Scheduler Engine (taskeng.exe) before setup can continue .  No idea why... on my home PC taskeng.exe is running too, but didn't have to close it there.

Also, after reboot, started Messenger... came up with a Windows Installer window... and crashed. Started Messenger again and now new problems so far.

Worked fine to install on my computer.
Even in danish now, courtesy of mess.be

Though the Favourites "group" isn't there and it wont show all my custom smilies, people see them though, but messenger doesnt show them on my side

German download links:

http://g.live.com/1rebeta3/de/wlsetup-web.exe (Web installer)
http://g.live.com/1rebeta3/de/wlsetup-all.exe  (Full installer)



Maybe Patchou makes an exception this time and adapts Plus! for this version, as this seems a "mayor" release and the Microsoft team doesn't [public] release many betas anyway... my guess is this will be the only one and be active until the final release.

I have the same problem with custom emoticons.. They don't appear when I'm typing, unless I type a few characters after them and then they randomly appear, but my contacts can see them fine :/

I think removing BRB as a status was pretty dumb to be honest.

135MB. Rather big for an Instant Messenger...

..Oh wait now it has to be full of un-needed features and missing ones that people would use much better. So it's a multi IM with incld features that no IM has had before

I'll most likely stick with 8.5 all the way to 10.0

Ok I have a question.. It might be really stupid of me, but where do offline messages appear now? There used to be a button that appeared when necessary next to the email button, but now.. nothing?

What a piece of garbage this is.

it's going to be weird where to put the plus! button and the scripts button.. tab bar maybe? or probably beside the email button

This is an idiotic question, but are they still using UIFiles? Or have the supposed WPF effects come onto the scene already?

Nothing has changed in the skins department since the last beta. Skins are still looking to take the fall for vista users. Now that its a public beta it means that this is now very likely to happen.

For those that don't know what I am talking about I did a post on Design Evovled that addresses the new beta in this respect.

http://www.designevolved.net/board/showthread.php?tid=328

Unless some workaround is figured out (asides from disabling Aero system wide) its not looking good. I am going to hold off some of my advanced skins for a while until I know where this is all going, there wouldn't be much point in starting something complicated if its just going to end at 8.5.

After using it for a day, I noticed that the display picture area is ginormous......not everyone has giant widescreens......

Yeah, the default sounds are much too quiet...although the other defaults (like the sax) are of reasonable volume.

Is anyone else having a problem with emoticons showing on people's nicknames in the contact list?

i dont have that problem un the contact list...      but i do have a problem like other ppl said,  about seeing my own custom emoticons in my conversation window....     apparently the receiver sees them...

still using UI files, in fact i have extracted all of them 

---

im gonna throw my 2 cents in

from what i see of WLM9 it still lacks the ability to use tabbed Chats among other features MsgPluslive has , i cant see any real reason to use 9 over 8.5 IMO .. i can see other instant Messengers making inroads like Trillian Astra an Pidgin an others, .. .

Goodluck to the Skinners,

I notice that also the chat windows colour does not change to suit as it should and only remains as the dodgy light blue.

I downloaded the web one and it said that I need XP or vista to run this and I have XP Installed....Should I try the full installer?

well after installing it on my virtual xp this morning, i signed in and minimized, only to have it crash straight after. Havent bothered with it since -_-

Well guess what guys. WLM 9 ignores any UIFile edits you do to it. It seems it keeps a backup of it somehow. Tried doing a few tweaks myself to wlm (i.e Moving DP's to the right and button hiding) but then I came across this.

All I can say that this is not good. I'll keep looking into it but yeah atm its going nowhere.

It seems M$ may just be getting serious about stopping people editing the appearance of their software with patches and things If there not careful there gonna really piss some people off

Im sure that within time, new ways will be found and implemented to help plus be able to skin again.

Well hopefully Patch can overcome this stuff, otherwise its going to be a pretty bleak outcome for skins and patches since they rely on this sorta stuff.

Image replacement still works for non-layered images, but yeah for layered images without being able to add in custom code then its not going anywhere.

Would it be time to add a big notice at the top of the forums again linking to a thread about WLM 9 beta and Plus! status?

WLM 2009 seems to be cool for it's integrated and "renewed" as the life of Windows Live Messenger.

But on the contrary, it complicated things for Messenger Plus Live, and features are now limited than Windows Live Messenger 8.5 w MP!L v4.7

It's going to take some time to get MP! Live working with WLM again...

can't receive files form older verison of msn

Actually, I am already pissed off. Skinning had found many fans and now Microsoft ruins what Plus! and Patchou had achieved from December. I can only hope they will finally change the way Messenger 2009 works now so it will not be so difficult to skin it.

---

I hope so RebelSean. I agree the new UI is good but they could have at least leave the images format as it was. Besides, they changed most of the images to .MSRLE. Anyway, I am sure Patchou will find the way to fix any issues with skinning.

...maybe they're just not allowing you to edit the UIfiles whilst it's still in beta, I imagine they don't want people reporting bugs that have been caused by someone rearranging their code.

Anybody else noticing your own animated DPs going too fast or skipping frames in contact lists/convo windows?

Works fine in the preview though, which is odd. o.O

mess patch light was updated... so maybe there is a way to edit uifiles finally... let's wait for patch to announce... remember he is in direct talk with WLM dev team...

if MS want to stop skinning doing the CL bg feature and that protection to avoid uifiles modification this will be a huge hit for MP!L... I don't think patch will allow that to happen...

Me and duck noted this, but why are the sharing folders gone to make way for skydriver?
I think the sharing folders was a much better idea. oh well.

All I get is:

guys I invite you to read TB post here:

http://www.stuffplug.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1612

there is lot of important info there!!!

So, I feel dumb for asking this. But on the main screen where your contacts are I used to be able to see people's e-mail address as well as their contact name and personal message and I cannot remember how to turn this back on. Any help with this would be awesome.

Just tried to install it on WindowsXP 64bit.. no can do ..

lol, why is everybody so alarmist?

I spent the last 7 years updating Plus! to make it work on newer versions of Messenger and onething I learnt is that there's always a way, you just have to spend some time on the probem.

Right now I'm having fun adding multiple-location data into Plus!, I'll check the skins out later. There's really no need to panic though

It's not about using something fixed, but about graphics. WLM9 is quite amazing on that side. Definitely something Vista users have been waiting since Vista itself first came out.

it might be great for people using Vista but people using XP still it wont make a difference whether they stick with 8.5 or not

Automatic-synching would have to be done on my side, with my servers. It'S something I wanted to do before but I'm too concerned about possible privacy issues right now.

As for WPF: no, Messenger is still using DirectUI which is an internal library only Microsoft uses.

ok, when the beta came out, i said to myself, it looks great, i tried it and it was great, but a messenger without messenger plus! is nothing, so i went back to 8.5 but today i just wanted to use it, and i know that there is a way to use messenger plus on the new messenger, atleast just to have the basics, nick colours etc, and i even know some of us here do know how to manage this, it is complicated, but please anyone who do know just tell us i just want to see nicknames without the codes xD

What's wrong with the MSN Today button?
It randomly disappears

Oh just to post something else, regarding the custom emoticons, my custom emotions are fine, just when i type them, they appear text for me and to the person i sent it to, it appears as an emoticon(image), its not the option show emotions because ive tried it, please help! thanks =D

sorry..

but i didnot understand unything...

^_^

Basically it means we cannot customize messenger just yet, as it appears to keep a backup of itself, preventing us to change or patch it in most ways.

I'm sure people will find a way around that, though.

thanx alot..

As a proof of concept:

http://www.designevolved.net/board/showthread.php?tid=331

two words:

awwwww yeah

In case anyone's interested, you can find the install files for WLM 9 at %programfiles%\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache

Useful if you don't want to wait forever running the web setup or downloading the full package installer.

NB: You must install all the msi's in the various folders found in .cache for WLM to work properly (unless of course you chose to download other components, in which case ignore their respective msi's).

strange aye? messenger plus still on my messenger, apparently everything's working, just the icons of mpl are not showing, colours neither, can't use the commands ( i.e: /ping)  nothing else   on the scripts case, the settings work and even the script does!

of course that if you edit your wlm version it works at 10%...

yep i just removed it because its not good loads of problems

I just want coloured/formatted (Bold, underline etc.) nicknames to show up properly and I'll be happy

yep that would be awesome but i don't think it'll happen any time soon :/

@ Mattumanutd, why did you grey the script name out that you imported? You can still have WLM14 running and that script working. Just refer to mynetx's reply to [Release] WLMStatus 1.19.36 - Easy Web Display of your Messenger Status.

ye i know i see your threads haha i don't know why i greyed it xD

hey all
thats what i thought of WLM for now...

personal review for WLM 9 Beta
I've been testing it for 2 days and this is what i think of it...i hope my review helps a little for you all, thank you

the goods...
fresh new design
the "groups" feature
added History feature in Conversation window
new sounds and custom sounds possibility
Layout and "What's new" feature
added .gif for display pictures
signature sounds added
some nice scenes to choose from

the bads...
a problem with custom emoticons
the scenes and color themes don't apply to the conversation windows...to me there's a lack of coordination between the main window and conversation windows
crashing when viewing winks list
"send" button when writing text?????
the "contact sign in" and "new instant message" sounds are still old
the .gif display pictures can't be bigger than 200kb...doesn't leave alot of customizing capabilities...
clicking on display pictures and viewing contact card directly has been taken away
the possibility of draging a picture to the display picture box has been taken away...now we have to go all the way to browse...
the right-clicking feature on display pictures has been also taken down...
display picture size options are still "small" and "medium"...would be nice to have a "big" option...

conclusion...
nice evolution of WLM but it could be pushed a little further...
its really bad to have lost some quick access capabilities with the display picture...i hope its just because its a beta...

I just noticed that they "borrowed" a feature from my sexyskin

Clicking on your DP opens up the Change Display picture option, rather than your contact card

It does work, but only partially. Scripts are mostly running, including WLMStatus. Skins are working when replacing images, but not the UIFiles. Patchou is already working on a version with more compatibility

Is there any possibility that Patchou is going to need any more testers?

he hasnt said...yet, you will for sure hear when he does.

Thanks for informing me. I hope he does ask for more testers.

np, just keep checking.

I doubt patchou will be specifically requesting for beta-testers now... We have a good testers team and patchou trust's us. Whereas with new people he's wary and starts having to add protection to prevent anyone but us using it, if it's leaked...

I counted 94 names but not all of them are testers. What about making this number 100?

Checking which testers on the current list aren't active anymore, and switching them out with a few new people may be a good idea. I have a feeling there are some people on the current list who don't participate anymore. But give them a fair chance to respond first, being on vacation or in a really busy period shouldn't be a reason to be kicked off .

i dunno if i'm still on the list, will love to try but the true is that with work theres not much I can do so w/me its ok to be out

the scenes and color themes don't apply to the conversation windows...to me there's a lack of coordination between the main window and conversation windows

Somebody who has access to the newsgroup:

It looks like the file transfer speed when connected from multiple locations is still very low. Can somebody please report it to the newsgroup?

does anyone know how to set the colors so that everything is the same? I find it irritating that every single message window is a different color even after clicking "set as default".

not encouraging to hear about the uninstall problems. *sigh* too late now for me I suppose.
