O.P. RE: Tweak Plus! re-opened!
Okay, I'm pretty ready to release a stable alpha of Tweak Plus within the next couple of days. Remember, this is merely a test to see if it runs on all systems, on the feature side, nothing much has been added. I hope u understand my point.

Features that HAVE been added and work (at least on 2k/MSN5 and XP/WMSN).
* general options (force on startup and some execution tweaks)
* log utilities (organize all logs and rename folders (add year))
* export/import settings to and from .ini files
* a 24-bit color picker/setter

I disabled the "Prevent Plus from running on startup" option for now, on Patchous request and I might enable chat log encryption (basic).

Comments and flames are welcome as soon as the link is up.

On the side, I sincerely hope Patchou will support Tweak Plus! to the extent he can.

Thanks for the startup option... also, you may know that the latest versions of MsgPlus already ensure that Plus! always starts before Messenger... there is an option to disable it (it's enabled by default) so maybe you'll just want to map your option with my setting and let MsgPlus do the job :).

Apaprt from that, I must say that I'm really counting on Tweak Plus! and I'll comepltly support it.... there is many many registry settings that are there and that nobody knows currently. I'm counting on this software to use them.

Patchou.

good for you whiteshark (Y) :D

cool program, and i think it will be the ideal companion to msgplus, you just have to add all the registry tweaks that will be in the website probably :)

btw nice gui design (Y)

*coder's heaven...*


*drool drool*

me very likes program :)
and indeed, there are loads of reg settings [just sniffed through the registry :D]

Anyway, While you're at it, maybe you could make an option to export the registry settings [so ppl won't have to go through the registry...], and, of course, you would have to give the email adress you would like to export the settings of and yadda yadda...

Maybe a TweakPlus! Suggestiosn thread or something?

just a suggestion..

Pfew, almost done! I've managed to pump an (private) alpha with some of the basic features, just to make sure it'll run on almost every Windows platform. Meaning I'll release a first stable version soon to some people, who will verify it runs on their system. Once I know it does, I'll release it to the public so u can all report the awful bugs I spilled :refuck:

Meanwhile, here are some screens to feast ur eyes, they show all the features that are currently added.
Welcome screen
Browse screen
Intro screen (new look)
General tweaks screen (new look)
Appearance tweaks screen (new look)

Have fun, and expect to get an email soon!

BTW, once a first stable version is comfirmed, it will be a lot easier to add features AND I'm having some trouble with creating my own installer, so the basic VB (yuck) installer will be used f/n.

Actually I had only a few people in mind. So anyone who likes to be an alpha tester (to a certain extent off course), just PM me or send me an old fashioned email.

It is actually an expression by which I mean, I'm going to add the features Patchou added to Plus but hided from the audience, plus some general tweaks. Like all programmers, Patchou can't add all options just in one dialog, or fit all settings in one tab, so he used registry keys and possibly other tricks to still be able to implement those features, which I'm going to add to Tweak Plus.

Hope that answers ur question.

If you release the source code under the GPL (open source + other stuff), I am happy for you to use my installer that I wrote for BetterMSN.
