In this section, we will be describing the features of aMSN, which will hopefully give you a better understanding of what the specific features are and their functionality.



The messaging interface is the means by which the user interacts with aMSN. This includes the contact list as well as other features which allow the user to easily contact other users.

Understanding the Contact List

The contact list is the central area used to initiate 'conversations' with other people. The contact list can be organized by status, groups, or hybrid. The contacts can be 'named' using their nicknames, using their emails or a name defined by yourself. The groups can be organized in reverse alphabetical order. The contact list displays other users that can be contacted through aMSN. The contact list provides an easy way to know who is online currently.

Adding New Groups

Adding new groups can be accomplished by right clicking on a group, (for example: online), and then selecting "Add a group..." from the menu which pops up.

Adding new groups can also be accomplished by clicking "Add a group", which is located in the "Groups" tab found by clicking Tools > Preferences... > of the aMSN interface.

Removing Groups

Removing groups can be accomplished by right clicking on the group that you would like to remove, and selecting "Delete" from the menu which pops up.

Removing groups can also be accomplished by clicking "Delete a group", which is located in the "Groups" tab found by clicking Tools > Preferences... > of the aMSN interface.

Renaming Groups

Renaming groups can be accomplished by right clicking on the group that you would like to rename, and selecting "Rename..." from the menu which pops up.

Renaming groups can also be accomplished by clicking "Rename a group", which is located in the "Groups" tab found by clicking Tools > Preferences... > of the aMSN interface.

Moving Contacts between Groups

Moving contacts to another group can be accomplished by right clicking on the contact name, then clicking on the group we want the contact to be moved.

Choosing a Contact List Display Mode (Status, Group, Hybrid)

The contact list display options are found in Tools menu, under "Order contacts by..." A brief explanation of each of the display modes:

• "Status" Mode

The "Status" mode orders your contacts on the contact list by their status. There are two separate groups for this mode; online and offline. Online contacts are shown at the top of the Online group, followed by "busy" and "on phone" contacts, then contacts set to "away", "be right back", "gone to lunch" and "no activity". Offline contacts are shown in the Offline group, sorted alphabetically.

• "Group" Mode

The "Group" mode allows you to have your contacts separated into groups. The standard set of groups for a new msn account is "Friends", "Family", "Co-workers" and "Others". However, you can create your own groups, and sort contacts into them as you wish. If you change back to "Status" mode, don't worry, you don't lose your groups! You can just switch back to "Group" mode to see them again.

• "Hybrid" Mode

The "Hybrid" mode is simply mix of the "Groups" and "Status" modes - you have your contacts organised into the same groups, but there is a separate "offline" group, where all offline contacts are shown. This is useful for saving space.

View Contacts By:

You can choose the way you want to see your contact's nicknames:

• Name : view user's contacts by nickname, name.
• Email : view user's contacts by email address.
• Change Global Nick : changes global nickname, howto instructions on changing global nick are provided when this is clicked.

This will organize all your contacts that are online into groups, and all the
people offline in an offline 'group. There will also be a group for users setup to use mobile.

The message window is the means by which the user interacts with another user by typing a message in the message box. Once the user clicks "Send" the receiving user will receive the message sent by the original messenger.

The message window also displays personal Display Pictures if it has been set up to use Display Pictures. More information on this can be found in the (3.8.8.4.1 Enable receiving Display Pictures from other users) section of this wiki.

Changing Font Properties

The font properties can be changed in the message window by clicking the "Change font" button which is located on the far left side of the message window
From the font dialog box, the user will be able to change the Font, Style, and Color of the message text.

Inviting New People into Conversations

Inviting new people into conversations can be done by selecting: Actions > Invite... from a currently active message window.

File Transfering

File Tranfering can be achieved by clicking the "Send file" button which is located on the right side of the message window. (second button from the right)

Once the "Send file" button has been clicked, a box will pop up asking for the file which will be transferred, simply choose the file to be sent and click "OK".The file will begin transferring. If the file does not transfer, check the "Connection" tab in: Tools > Preferences and make sure all settings are correct.

Profiles are personal folders which are stored in a seperate amsn folder under the user's account.

Understanding Profiles

Profiles store personalized information such as skins, logs, smileys, configurations, plugins, and the bug report file (bugreport.amsn)

Adding a new Profile

A new profile is added by clicking the "Add New Profile" button on the Log In window,
once the "Add New Profile" button is clicked, the user must enter the login which they would like to create a new profile for.

The user must then click "OK". This will store personal information for that user. The user may now login using their new profile by typing in their username and password.

Removing an existing Profile

An existing profile may be removed by deleting the user's profile folder in the amsn (windows) or ./amsn (linux) directory.

History is aMSN's way of keeping conversation logs. The history of each user's conversation(s) is kept in the corresponding user's profile

Activating/Disabling History

History is enabled by clicking Tools > Preferences... > on the aMSN interface, clicking the Logging tab, and selecting the box that says "Log all conversations to aMSN's History for future viewing" in the "My History and Logging Options" section.

Manipulating History Files

History files are stored in the amsn (windows) or ./amsn (linux) folder. They can be found in a folder named : username_emailprovider (example:amsn_user_hotmail_com)
These files may freely be manipulated. The history files store each conversation as a text file, where each conversation is separated by a space at the end of it.

Custom states give you greater flexibiliity in conveying your status than simply using the default states. For a given custom state a custom nickname can be assigned as well as a message that will automatically be sent to anyone who sends you a message.

Creating Custom States

To add a custom state click on your name in the main aMSN contact window. This will bring up a list of states. Below the default ones is an entry called "Add custom state". Clicking on this will bring up a dialog with six options.

• Name of Personal State: This is what you want to call this state. This is how it will appear in the list.
• Custom nick: Your nick will be changed to this upon switching to this state.
• I want to appear as: This is how your contacts will see you when you switch to this state. Busy, Away, Offline, etc. You can only select from the normal states.
• Automessage to Send: This message will be sent if a contact messages you while you are in this custom state.
• Don't Save: This custom state won't be saved. When you restart aMSN it will be gone.
• Switch to new state: Upon hitting "Ok" you will automaticaly switch to this state.

Removing Custom States

To remove a custom state click on your name in the main aMSN window as if to change your status. Select "Delete custom state" then select the state you want to delete from the list.

Using Custom States

Using a custom state is as easy as changing your status like you normally would. Just select any of the custom states you've created instead of the normal Busy, Away, etc. Custom states are useful for things like telling people you're playing a game or that you've gone somewhere and having an automessage to say when you'll be back.

Alarms are an easy way to notify you of an event. As of 0.94 aMSN has alarms for a user coming online, a user sending a message, a user changing status, and a user going offline/invisible.

There are two types of alarms: global and user. Global alarms apply to all users on your contact list, user alarms are specific to a single user on your contact list.

Creating/Configuring New User Alarms

To create or edit an alarm for a single user first right-click (alternate-click) on the user and select "Configure/Add/Remove Alarm"

To create an alarm:

Click on the box next to "Turn ON/OFF Alarm for this user" . The box will turn red to indicate the box has been selected.

Then click on the boxes next to the events you would like the alarm to sound for, again the box will turn red to indicate it has been selected.

From this point on when any of the events occur a message box show up.

To enable a sound alarm:

Click on the "Browse" button next to the "Sound File" section, and select the sound file you would like as the alarm sound.

Then click on the box next to "Sound Alarm" if you would like the sound to loop click on the loop sound box.

To execute a command everytime an event occurs:

Type in the command in the input field, and select the box underneath it "Execute Command"

To send a message to the user when an event occurs:

Type the message in the input field and select the box underneath it "Send Message"

Creating/Configuring New Global Alarms

To create a global alarm (an alarm that applies to all users) first right-click on your own user name and select "Configure/Add/Remove Global Alarms"

The rest of the creation process is similar to creating alarms for single users. Refer to "Creating New User Alarms"


To remove all alarms for a single user, right-click on their user name and select "Configure/Add/Remove Alarms" and click "Delete" at the bottom of the window.

To remove all global alarms, simply right-click your own user name and select "Configure/Add/Remove Global Alarms" and click "Delete" at the bottom of the window.

Display pictures are a way of personalizing amsn. Display pictures are a good way for users to be able to tell who they are talking to by simply glancing at the user's display picture.

Display pictures are also an excellent way for a user to display their likes, dislikes, mood, hobbies, etc.

Setting Display Pictures

A display picture can be used for many things. Some people use them to show a picture of themself or their significant other. Some people use it to show their moods. Some people even use it to show funny pictures.

To set a display picture:

• right click on the default amsn logo display picture and click change.
• Browse to the directory of any picture you want and select it to set as your picture.
• Click OK and the display picture will be updated.

Viewing Other's Display Pictures

Cached Display Pictures

Cached display picture is one that each buddy on your msn list uses and your computer stores it on your computer for quick access.

To view them:

• Those files are stored in the amsn (windows) or ./amsn (linux) folder, into your account folder (ex. "username@email.com")
• enter the folder called display pictures and in there is a folder called cache.

This is where these are stored.

Alternately, you can goto the change display picture preferences and there will be a little box there that says show cached pictures and there they are. It also gives you the option to use them as your own display picture or even delete them.

Lazy display pictures retrieval

Lazy display pictures retrieval is in the advanced preferences, it means we won't retrieve a display picture of someone else if we don't get a conversation with them. If we don't check that box, we retrieve new display pictures immediatly when they change it even if we don't talk to them.

Docking is a nice aMSN feature which docks an icon in the systray so that aMSN can be controlled without maximizing the aMSN interface window.

If this option is unchecked, the aMSN banner will not be displayed at the bottom of the aMSN interface.

Truncate nicknames longer than window width in window titles and contact list

Truncate nicknames longer than window width inside conversations

Enable timestamps on chat windows

Save chat window size as default when resizing it

Default size for chat windows (XSIZExYSIZE)

Start AMSN on tray icon only

Typed characters counter in chat window

Restrict all fonts' size to the one I selected (Status bar and others)

Sometimes you want the notification window to pop up in a different location than the default. If your taskbar is not on the bottom of your screen or it is taller than normal, the notification window will pop up in the wrong area or will obstruct a part of your taskbar. This is a less than optimal situation which can be remedied by changing the X Offset and Y Offset advanced options.

X Offset

The default X Offset is 0. This corresponds to the right edge of the screen. The X offset is taken relative to the right edge of the notification window. Increasing values move the notification window to the left. For instance, a value of 50 will cause the notification window to pop up 50 pixels to the left of where it normally does.

Y Offset

The default Y Offset is 28. This corresponds to 28 pixels above the bottom of your screen. The Y offset is taken relative to the bottom of the notification window. Lets say you're taskbar is 48 pixels tall instead of 28. In this situation when the notification window pops up it obstructs 20 pixels of your taskbar, to avoid this you can just change the Y Offset to be 48. Now the notification window will pop up above your taskbar.

My Event Alerts and Sounds

Display notify window when contacts come online

Display notify window when contacts go offline

Display notify window when contacts change status

Display notify window when new messages are received

Display notify window when new emails arrive

Prevent closing a chat window when a message has just arrived

Connection

Enable receiving Display Pictures from other users

When this option is selected, other contact's display pictures will be displayed while you're chating. This is the default behaviour, but you can change it if you don't want to see that picture.

Show mail notification line (inbox) in contacts list

Connect on amsn start

Connect on aMSN start means as soon as you open amsn, it will sign in with the password saved. It is good for lazy people like me who dont like having to type in their login information all the time. It also makes reconnecting fast if you get booted for some reason.

To enable auto connect,

• go to the preferences, advanced tab
• select "Connect on amsn start" under the Connection section
• click save

aMSN will now autoconnect once it has been restarted.

Keepalive (NAT)

If you're using aMSN in an environment in which you sometimes want aMSN to dissapear so others don't see that you're chatting, you can activate the Boss Mode. Press Ctrl + Alt + Space and aMSN (all the windows) will dissapear. You will only see a little bar asking you for a password. When you enter the password (the one used to sign in to your msn account), aMSN will reappear.

Remote Control

Actions Menu

Send Message

Using this option, you can open a chat window to a contact in order to talk with him/her. Anyways, you can use a simpler way to start chating with a contact by double clicking its nickname in the contact list.

If you want to open a chat window to an user by only clicking once in its contact name, you can enable "Single click to open a new message window" in the Tools / Preferences menu, under the Advanced tab, inside the Appearence section.

Send Mail

You can send an email to one of your contacts by right clicking on it's name and then choosing "Send mail". Then you can see an internet browser showing you Hotmail and you can compose the email.

If no window is shown, perhaps you must configure your prefered internet browser for aMSN. You can do that by selecting Tools / Preferences in the main window of aMSN. Then you choose "Others" and fill the browser information. If your prefered browser is Firefox, you must write firefox $url

Change Nick

Check for New Version

This option checks the aMSN repository to see if there is a new aMSN version available, if so, it will download it.

This option is found under Actions > check for new version... in the aMSN interface.

Selecting a Skin

This option allows the user to change the appearance of aMSN by means of a skin. You can change the skin under Tools > Select Skin... in the aMSN interface.

Selecting a Language

You can change the language in which aMSN is shown by clicking on Tools / Language in the main window of aMSN.

You can change the language too by clicking on the word Language in the main window of aMSN when you're still not loged on to your account.

Applescript

AppleScript is an English-like language used to write script files that automate the actions of the computer and the applications that run on it.

Much more than a macro-language that simply repeats your recorded actions, AppleScript can make decisions based on user interaction or by parsing and analyzing data, documents or events. (reference: apple.com)

Linphone

Linphone is a web phone: it lets you phone to your friends anywhere in the whole world, freely, simply by using the internet. The cost of the phone call is the cost that you spend connected to the internet (reference: http://www.linphone.org/)

Philippe G. Khalaf created this wrapper for amsn in 2004. This program is based on Wang, Zhanglei's linphone wrapper for Gaim, which brings linphone to the tcl world (tcl bindings for linphone)

Linphone can be found in the plugins directory in the aMSN folder.

Tabbed Chatwindow

Tabbed chat is a good thing. It allows you to have all of your conversations in one window, saving space in your taskbar. If you're chatting to a lot of people and don't like to close the windows but want to keep your taskbar clear, tabbed chat is good. It is a neat and efficient way to organize your conversations without the clutter of multiple windows.
