New Theme (and more)

i have changed the default theme, here are some screenshots.





other stuff:

• now you can send messages to a contact in a conversation before he join the conversation, when he join the messages are sent.
• add/remove/rename group implemented
• block/unblock user implemented
• the soap requests are made in a thread so they dont freeze the GUI
• a stub of a plugin system started.

Encodings fixed!

i win!

i hope not offending somebody with what i have wroted :D

new features

Here is a screenshot of new features, mainly conversation log.

the conversations are allmost finished, you can chat, do multiconversations, invite people to chat, log conversations, format messages, see time stamp on messages,
send nudges, smilies etc.

The only feature missing is tabbed chat.

call for official logo/theme

i want a official logo/theme for emesene, since i dont think that i have good taste
i want you to design one, the winner will be anounced here with the logo and of course
the logo will be used fot the default theme of emesene and will be in the credits.

the conditions are:
* SVG format (if you can)
* GPL like license
* the logo must be a logo not a word.

thats all, you have to send me the logos to my mail

keep coding

copy and paste the svn comment:

text format in both ways (inverse color bug fixed),
style while typing (delay aplying the style fixed),
multiconversation in both ways (invite and be invited), a lot of problems fixed there,
invite dialog created (still some bugs there),
optional timestamps to the messages,
modified way of showing the contacts (we need bigger status icons until
we show the display picture).

i wait comments..

getting closer

a screenshot to see how the project goes:


a mention to emiliano schreiner who was the first to chat with me using emesene 1.0, to dx who filled a lot off GUI advises and to tuza who help me with the multiconveration.

Feature request opened

since somebody asked i officially open the feature request season.

if you think something is missing on emesene just request it, there are 3 ways:

• creating a ticket in the tracker
  
• creating a post in the forum
• commenting here

the features will be discussed and in 2 weeks when i have more time i will start adding them.
The features will be discussed so if you do a request, return later to see the responses.

not dead (yet :P)

just to probe that emesene is not dead see this:

emesene 1.0 alpha, a complete rewrite, now with MSNP13 support, a new library of our own.

new things supported (by now, new things to come):

• Personal Message
• Space indicator

i expect your comments...

Emesene SVN

i have enabled the SVN on sourceforge.

http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emesene/

Downgrading

I decided to delete the 0.1.6 release from sourceforge.

maybe this weekend i can make a stable release.

Recomendation

Since the code for the conversations have been rewrited 100% i have found that it have a lot of bugs, when i make the release i only tested the multichat and it worked very well but it have a lot of problems with single conversations.

I suggest you to downgrade to 0.1.5 untill i make a new release.

sorry by the problems...

• more emoticons added to the emoticon window (http://messenger.msn.com/Resource/Emoticons.aspx)
• multiconversations

emesene 0.1.5

new release new stuff:

* locales updated
* number of users per group
* no more empty messages from friends using kopete
* the userlist is again a treeview
* contextual menus for users and groups in the user list
* fix a bug that didnt let you use emesene on windows if you didnt have the library for trayicon

im calling for all the people how would like to do something for emesene, currently i need:

* someone that can make original themes for emesene
* someone that can make original sounds for emesene
* translators...
* a webmaster :)
* developers, developers, developers, developers! :P
* etc.

still alive

this post is just to say that the project is alive but the releases will be more spaced because i have started the university again.. :(

just to show the new stuff i will show you a screenshot.



as you can see (or not), i have returned to a treeview userlist, now the email is shown in the statusbar when you move the mouse over a contact.

if you think on a better way to show the user mail or you have some idea just post a comment

my english suck today (sorry!)
