@ start it was a cool tread because off xfade
now it's getting more boring with the day!

Just download the newest version of Plus! and then download this plugin. If you have a problem it's yours and not Finns!!!

Before i created this plugin, i had never been on this forum, look at the date my account was created if you dont beleive me, i was simply waiting for the new plus to come out, i saw that on mess.be and downloaded it, i then saw the plugin download on mess.be and downloaded that and wrote xfade in about an hour, AFTER i had written it i found the link to here in the readme inside the plugin download, so i came here and thanked patchou for adding the plugin support, i then posted  xfade here on the small chance someone else might find it useful. I had never even heard of gradier until someone sent me a PM asking me to join your team, at the point i went to the link and found out what it was.

Funnily enough the world doesnt revolve around you and there are some people on the net who havent heard of your program...


If you think you can do better than xfade (i'm sure you can) then go ahead and do it, i am not stopping you hell i even posted the source here if you want a template to work from, but seeing as i have done nothing wrong i would kindly ask you to stop bitching to me because someone else happened to have a similar idea to you.

Seeing as xfade is also completely free and without strings attactched what would i have had to gain from "stealing" your idea ?

Alright, i've been following this thread for since the start and i only have one thing to say.
Maybe Finn did see Gradier or some other program like it, but doesn't remember
On the other hand, maybe he didn't.  The point is that either way it doesn't really matter because, like you say, most people on this forum know about gradier, so they'll know that it's been done before (although not in this way) and know that the Gradier team can do it as well as Finn.
Now that i've done the totally impartial bit i'll say this:  If an idea isn't copyrighted, can it truly be stolen?
Someone thought of putting a timer in an oven, now hundreds of ovens have timers, yet none of them are stealing ideas

EDIT: And since it's open source, the boon of programming, I don't really see what harm is being done, no matter how you think about it.  Gradier was the original and has been reborn in a new form and a different name, from a different family, yet the original still continues to grow and flourish.

It only works at my cousin's msn but by two other people it doesn't ??

make sure they close and then reopne the MsgPlus! they, easyiest way is restarting their pcs

FINN do you have any other projects??

Would it be possible to color the text on the receiving end instead of before you send the text? sending the plugin id along with the wanted colors .
