Exclusive screenshot: new icons for Windows Live Messenger final?


Posted by the andyman on 16 Jun 2006 (3544 views)
We have managed to get our hands on what we believe is a screenshot of what may be the final beta/first release of Windows Live Messenger. The screenshot shows the conversation window and is the same design as the current public beta of Windows Live Messenger (version 8.0.0689.00_Branches). However there are several noticable changes.

First of all the Windows Live flair/vapor at the top of the conversation window is slighty different to the current one and looks very similar to the one featured on the new design of live.com that was released today.

The other noticable changes are some of the icons. The "Start or stop a Video Call" and "Call a Contact" buttons have slightly different icons on (they seem lighter) and the "Activities" and "Games" buttons have been redesigned, although they based on the same contents.

Well, I think they look slightly better. I like the better noticable flair, and the new icons are also nicer.
Let's hope they'll release the final version soon...

Bast***s (sorry), well.. that's it then, no leaked final. I had a dream the other night as well about me getting the password correct and seeing a final wlm install window.. lol, I bet it was a fake anyway. All you could do I guess is open with notepad and try to find it, but that's impossible I think. Also, maybe guess the password, we'll just have to wait until it's released 22nd I suppose. What will happen on the 19th? Delayed until 24th?? lol. See ya.

Nope, they rigged the rar so if it was cracked nothing would work.

The .rar file has been cracked. The file inside is cupport, just a trick really, a set up. Anyway, I like the extra flares on the conversation window .

OK then, so it's fine. The email I sent, just delete it, because now I know it's not my file . Anyway, I don't think there is any point to crack that rar file, no one could get their hands on the final that fast. Also, on second thought, try to bruteforce it or crack and then we can really see what it actually is. Bye.

It's not The andyman found that. But yes, there are tools for cracking the rar files but you need to pay for them .
