RE: MSN Messenger 8.0 Features?
I think that everyone forgets that build numbers increase as the changes increase. Say, we got 6.2, with the similar GUI to 6.0 and similar features, just got very little details on. Now, look at 7.5 and 7.0. 7.5 got some new interfaces and features (Dynamic BG, Voiceclip, etc.). Look at 6.2 and 6.0 and find the differences, only colorize, yellow mobile thingy, and other details. 7.5 got more changes, obviously. That is why they renamed it to 7.5, not 7.1, because 7.5 got many differences. Of course, if 8.0 gets new interface and features, the build is accurate. You would not call 8.0 as 7.6 if it got skin added there, would you?
I, myself, has think of several features I want.
1. Skin and being able to colorize the contact list as well.
2. Always-on-top buttons.
It really makes life easier when I chat to someone while reading something else.
3. Game and Office Icons in PSM.
This is already partly implemented in 7.x, so I think they should make it fully functional.
4. Offline Messaging.
Same as above, already partly implemented.
5. Being able to turn off the file transfer limit.
WE KNOW THAT OUR FRIEND IS SENDING SOMETHING NICE ACCORDING TO THE CON WE HAVE, MAKE US ABLE TO DISABLE IT WITHOUT PATCHES, BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW PATCHES.
6. Tab conversation, though Patchou is implementing it on Plus!.
7. Animated DP.
What else should I say about it?
8. More Options Button
I hate it when the actions pane in contact list is now obsolete. Maybe they should put a single button under the contact list that will show a list of actions. That way, life will be a bit easier for people who do not like frames. Besides that, it doesn't waste much space like the one in 6.0.
