bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 16, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 16, 2005 Dayle, so you know, if you wish to use Magenta for the transparent color, dont use jpegs for the images. The compression actually changes the color a slight bit which throws off the coloring in the app, thus giving you such things as those magenta corners in the screenies shown of the working conversation.

DayleRees Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for the advice mate, i was using 32bit bitmaps but, Rus says sometimes corners work sometimes they dont(im assuming you saw his screenshots) i dont think this is a large error because other users havnt had this problem... its just one of those things no one can explain i guess. Thanks for making sure tho :) + creamhackered thanks, its not currently being tested, those were just a couple of proof builds, no more tests will be given until alpha release :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/7/#findComment-585478979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayleRees Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, Although im very flattered by the BETA tester offers I would like it if you could keep them in the thread :) my inbox is getting kinda full :s Its very nice of you though :) however its also likely that the BETA will be a public beta, and i only really post nexus stuff on neowin so none of you will miss out :) > Added working caption buttons. > Working tabs. > Fixed shadowing on 'mybox' control. Latest build - 0.55 Alpha image posted in first post. Log in box was made by me using menges surround, top box and tabs... he says he doesnt want people to think he made the textboxes cos they suck :p hes probably right.

tekno Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 looking good :). It is kind of hard to create a logo without a final name. I think the name plays an important role in the logo/image of a program (company, product, ect). That is why I can't really visualize the final logo without a name (unless Nexus gets to be the final name :p) .so, a name goes before a logo.(at least IMO) Still, I created this image/logo (more like a draft) based on the msn butterfly which is what symbolizes anything msn related.(that and the little person thing that messenger has ) keep up the good work :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/7/#findComment-585480096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DayleRees Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Tekno, i do love your logo very good work, however I do like blax's logo simplicity, and it looks great in that flash movie waley ( please add me to msn - see PM ) very impressed. Blax has sent me so many designs for logos fair play to him, and i honestly think he deserves this... so blax congratulations, your logo will be the final :) And if Waley is ok with this i would like to make nexus actual logo the last frame of his flash movie with the text... looks so pro. From his flash movie im seriously considering just dropping the name to nexus now... it looks so right there.. and im getting used to calling it that now.

Robbeke Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I would remove the Send button in the message box and put the Avater in that place so you don't have blank space between the converstation textbox.

Since, they are not visible, if I just use the app without making any screens ;) ... so, don't worry :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/285122-nexus-messenger/page/7/#findComment-585481171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
