I have dreamed for a while to be able to set up a picture in my Brosix profile. I wanted this picture to be displayed in the Text chat window, in the Voice conference, File transfer and whenever appropriate.

Latest Brosix gives us this nice feature. You can either set up an image file or you can take a shot of yourself with the web cam (if you have a web cam installed and working on your PC).

Here are the steps to set up your picture:

1. Open Brosix main window
2. Go to Menu->Contacts->Change my details
3. On the right there are two buttons – “Browse” and a web cam button.

You can either select an image file from your computer by clicking “Browse” or you can capture an image of yourself with your web cam by clicking on the web cam button.

October 2nd, 2008 – Brosix version 2.0 was officially published.
