XBList v3.0

A new version of XBList, a simple and unobtrusive Windows program that can display your Xbox Live Friends List in a buddy-list format, has been released:

Well, I've finally gotten around to releasing a version of XBList that's good enough to call 3.0. Last year I posted a look at what I thought should be in the next XBList. The most major has been the transition to .NET 2.0. Besides the increased stability and power of the new framework and doing things "the 2.0 way", I ended up rewriting most of XBList's innards in an effort to make it more maintainable, cleaner, faster, and more stable. That's all in there, even though you don't see it. Emblem loading, in particular, is much more robust. I also went out of my way to simplify the app and put in those little features that had been bugging me forever. For example, XBList now remembers if you've collapsed a category (like "Offline") instead of expanding it each time. And a list refresh won't always scroll to the top like it used to.

However, there are a couple of very visible changes. First, you'll now get a little tray icon and message bubble whenever there are new messages waiting for you at Xbox.com. This is really exciting for me, since it means that friends can invite you to a game and you'll know about it right there on your desktop. It's a new feature, and I'll be working on it more, but I hope everybody likes it. The other thing is that XBList has a new icon and a new set of graphics. There's an animated sign-in screen, a chilling error screen, and better indicators in the system tray. I never liked the old XBList icon (which was just the old Xbox logo, cut out), and this one feels much more professional, as well as having its own identity, which isn't to say that it doesn't owe a lot to the Xbox 360 UI team.

One last thing: I never got a chance to try it, but people complained that XBList 2.2 didn't work on Vista. I think XBList 3.0 might (and I created a spiffy Vista icon for it) so please give it a shot and let me know if it works!

It doesn't work for me. I sign in and everything but it still says you are not signed in. Restarted, did everything. Using IE7 on XP.

EDIT: Sorry all I had to do was sign out and sign in again! Also, just wondering if you are going to release the source code for this.

I thought this app died a long time ago. I'm glad to see a new version finally released. This app is very useful.

Great job on 3.0 by the way. Can't wait for the next release.

Cool App. Ever considered to make an Messenger plus plug-in? Would be neat having this integrated into Windows Live Messnenger.

I'm having the same problem. I tried signing out and signing in with no luck. I am using Vista.

The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please retype the e-mail address and password, or sign up if you haven't already done so. Need help signing in?

There is another tool with :

- friend's list manager (add, delete, accept friend request, retract friend request)
- friend's list sort by status or games
- see/ear a notification when a friend s connecting
- read/send/repy/delete messages to your friends
- and more...

it's free (only required a registration) : http://www.xblfriends.com
