tristantj Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 which one is better? the first one is from vista 5231 (the first wmp11 build) and the second one is the current release for xp... let's choose :) my opinion: the old one is better because it just fits in windows xp and the new one is black and doesn't fit in windows xp..

0sit0 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i would like the new one with the ability to change the colors for real not a dark blue dark red etc :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedyuthe Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I agree about the dark colours not suiting XP- they should change the XP version to suit. As for the layout, the newer one surely. One major advantage for me is having seperate repeat and shuffle buttons- both incorporated into one button was a pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I prefer the new layout and colour. Somehow, the black WMP11 looks nice on my taskbar :yes: . PSG22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolslacker Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 For XP the old one looks better, but on Vista the new one looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0sit0 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 view-enhancements-color chooser but it doesnt do much thats what im saying... i prefered v9 better cuz you could really change the colors not just add a lil touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted May 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 22, 2006 To be honest I prefer the layout of WMP9. I'm still using it :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eminem213486 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 the vistateam skin made a skin of wmp11 for wmp10 and it still works in wmp11. hehe. pretty cool. its nice to be able to switch back and forth just with a click of a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowestborg Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well I kinda think the new black is sexay. Plus the new library is a godsend. So so much better than what they had in WMP 9 & 10. If nothing else it's the reason you should upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperSnake Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Erm, Color Change has been in versions 9 AND 10, but what I think MS should do, is add an option to the Color Chooser to choose between a Dark mode (like the current one) or a Light Mode!

none_needed Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I like the new design more. But like y'all.. yeah I hope MS improve the color changer. Right now its just hard getting the color to match certain desktop feel let alone having the default black on a blue xp theme. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehouserat Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 the new design is definitely more slick, doesnt make any difference to me seeing as WMP is the ****tiest media player around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech_Dude_5000 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I like the new one, fits in well with my theme i have, whitch is a vista theme from vista trans pack .4.0 but its all onthe user, and what he/she thinks, and on the curent theme of the desktop Plus microsoft's been going with blue for way to long, basicly since microsoft windows debut in 1985. Ii think its about time for a change. BTW, i think the blue repesented the sky outside the "Windows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Like the blue one better... Unless MS makes a NEW XP Theme which is black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmarE D Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I prefer this new black/blue UI and I like the color chooser because I prefer darker colors, but I do agree that they could make it better by adding the option of lighter colors as well. Like the blue one better... Unless MS makes a NEW XP Theme which is black! That's not going to happen anytime soon. Your best bet would be to use one of the Vista themes that had the original start button before the Orb made its debut. I'm using a 2.0 version of KoL's VistaXP msstyle and it looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGiantHead Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Most definitely the newer one. It looks very polished. And since my theme is black, it fits perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt B Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 the earlier shot just looks like a modified WMP10 while the current one looks much more original and i like WMP11 as it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNo Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 There's nothing wrong about Michael Jackson as an artist. How he is as a person doesn't affect his musical knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
