Since its first public release, Messenger Plus! has come a long way!  Messenger Plus! was first started as a simple plug-in made by Patchou for himself and a couple of friends, but obviously it's more than a simple plug-in now.  Messenger Plus! has become more of a revolution for the world of Messenger, whether you use MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger, and no matter what version of Windows you use (provided its Windows 98 or above ).  Messenger Plus! 2 was released just last year, and Messenger Plus! 2.5 not too long after, between these versions there have been many improvements and many additions, Plus! has been the first in a lot of areas, including the full plug-in for MSN Messenger 6.0 and the first MSN Messenger plug-in with the ability to have more plug-ins added to it for extreme extendibility.  Messenger Plus! has certainly set a high standard, and isn't going to be beat any time soon!  With all this said it’s no surprise that Patchou is at it again!  But this time, it’s definitely better than ever. That’s right, Messenger Plus! 3 will set a whole new standard for Messenger plug-ins, and if you are an avid user of Messenger then Plus! 3 can potentially revolutionize the way you work with Messenger!  There are tons of new features in Messenger Plus! 3 but upon just opening the program for installing it you will instantly realize you are in for big changes in the graphical user interface. This is definitely what Plus! 3 prides itself on, a completely redesigned user interface and preference panel. But don't think Messenger Plus! 3 isn't going to have enough new goodies. No, quite the contrary, Messenger Plus! 3 has tons of new features, improved features and makes it quite a bit easier to use the features that were present in previous versions of Messenger Plus! I'm sure most of you are looking for a sneak peak at what the new Messenger Plus! 3 is going to look like so without further ado, lets get down to what all the hype is about.

Geez...

First Kao's review, then yours, which is huge... so huge I couldn't concentrate long enough to read it all...

I knew Patchou was allowing info to be released early, but I figured there would be limitations...

Now there won't be many surprises when the final version is released...

BTW, I didn't see any spelling errors in your review

Yeah, there are still tons of new features Don't think thats all

I don't need to read a review

I just overlooked and I think your review is ok

btw mess.be also has a review

Yes...and they claim they had thiers up first...but Mine was up at least 30 minutes before theirs......but of course I'm just the lil guy so they could care less

Blah... who cares which review was up first? They all went up at the same time as far as most people are concerned...

No kidding.

Thats a nice drop of review there DX. Thanks

Alright i guess i won't be writing an article tonight then, you covered it all. Gonna find some more bugs then

i prefer yours anyway.. i couldnt see a decent screenshot with MESS.BE being tatooed everywhere.. talk about copyrights

This certainly looks nice
I thought Messenger Plus! 2 was good, but this is even better!

I believe I spotted some incorrect sentences...

Good review, DX!

I too don't like the idea of showing step by step screenshots of EVERYTHING before releasing the beta (I like the part-by part idea of Patchou better), but still, people who've been waiting this long deserve some bite of the new version

Great Review DX!  Don't worry guys he aint let everything out just yet!!!

Patchou no doubt will have some suprises for you guys

MsgPlus3 U know u all want it

GFD's graphics rock ...Cept the color panel that was all fraisie

GFD, you got your life set out for you, the graphics are the best ive ever seen, you could spruce up Longhorn if you worked for microsoft!

[edit]: i'm not even a BETA tester, but i found a bug already

I dont understand

The image looks fine to me!  Mind i'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like this especially at 2am

in your screenshot, the icon makes sense (-> The light blue border around the icon)... But on the default XP theme it looks like shiit because the titlebar is already lightblue, and the "titlebar" in the icon seems like an error in the iconfile itself on that theme...

So for us the white wasn't the background of a window (which can be seen in your SS), but a non-transparent background in the icon itself. And the dark-blue bar across the icon seemed like a bug in the icon. (while in your SS it is clear that it is a titlebar of the window)

     

Blah!
You people are too picky




Should I make a poll?

[edit] don't bother answering, I already made one
