Hi,

In order to celebrate the continuing growing popularity of Messenger Plus!, a special set of goodies has been put online, representing the diversity of the people who use MSN Messenger with Messenger Plus! on a day to day basis. These goodies include new shirt designs and a new set of wallpapers for your Windows desktop.

The new wallpaper is a mosaic of many of the postcards I've received over the years from fans who wanted to show extra support for their favorite Messenger add-on. Even if your resolution does not permit it, I encourage you to download the 1600*1200 version to get a clearer view of each of the cards .

If you like the concept of mosaics but prefer keeping a clean background, checkout the new shirts! They are marked "special edition" in the Messenger Plus! Store and their price has been cut down for the occasion. The back of those shirts contains another mosaic of postcards and for having just received my proof test shirt, I can guarantee that they look real cool.

That's it for now. If you want more stuff more related to Messenger, I suggest you go check out the mpsounds.net web site. The content of this site is growing a lot these days as more and more people use the Custom Sounds feature of Plus!. Speaking of that, I had to upgrade the servers again this weekend, there just seems to be no end to the popularity of this thing.

As for when the next version of Messenger Plus! will be available, well, let's just say it's a secret for now but I promise you will not be disappointed. I will not release any version to support private beta versions of the new Windows Live Messenger (formerly known as MSN Messenger 8) but I guarantee that you will like what you'll see next year when it goes public. I'll keep you posted .

Patchou

Nice stuff!

(First I thought you had gone mad scanning all those cards, then I realized they were only a few repeated... phew )

OOOO pretty ..



very very nice,,,

Great Job Patchou!, you never let me down

Great news, just goes to show the ever-evolving poplarity of Plus!

The new shirts look great, must have taken a while to come up with that logo mosaic

And cheers for the mention of MPSounds Patch

Hopefully I'll be able to buy something next year... I've always wanted to have something from the MsgPlus! store.

As for now I'll get the wallpaper for my wallpaper collection.

VERY nice stuff there Patchou! Nice job done indeed!

Can I just ask how you did the mosaic of all of the post cards that you've received from fans, it it just an overlay in Photoshop or whatever with some opacity, or did you actually arrange them to appear like the Messenger Plus! Logo?

Well, I did scan 250 of them .

*= How long has it been since I last used gfdrin?

God damn, scanning 250 postcards must've taken a few days or something... I would hate to have to go through 250 postcards and scan each one, or did Fraisie give you a hand in that?

Does anybody have some information about how many people have ordered something from Plus! store? Soon I'll add my name to that list.

Well patchou says he donates double to the red cross. So i doubt he receives 1000's otherwise patchou is crazy

Nice work patchou

Great work Patchou, I'll be buying a t-shirt when I have money Background is cool enough for now though.

Nice patch!
Did you scanned all those cards?! That's |\/| /-\ |) !(I c there are a lot of repeatings, but they are still a lot of cards)
Don't think I need a T-shirt...

Can't w8 4 tha new !

WoW, awesome! A lot of quality too on wallpapers

I expect a lot from you patchou! ^-^

For those interested, I used a software called Mosaic Creator to help me do the mosaic. Once you get the parameters right, this software is real cool. Then, just use a couple of filters in Photoshop and voila .
