AIM 6.1.16.1 beta is now available for download. The developers would like webcam users to participate in the Live Video Focus Test in order for them to make important improvements to the Live Video feature, including fixes to incompatibility issues with specific hardware. As usual, testers are asked to use the Bug Report or Feedback form to report new bugs, not that this build doesn"t fix other ones. As well, the team would like its testers to use the message board, blogs and surveys that are accessible from the beta area. For a more complete list of fixed and newly introduced bugs, check out the Known Issues and Fixed Issues sections in the beta area. There are UI changes and new features in this build:
- Color picker: located next to the Help menu on the Buddy List, allow cycling between 10 different colours (10 to choose from) that affect the Buddy List and other related window elements
- Style: located at the Settings window"s Style tab, this feature allows changing the style of the Buddy List"s groups and screen names
- Sub-sorting: select the appropriate menu item from a Buddy List group"s right click menu to change Buddy List groups
- Docking: located at the Settings window"s Buddy List tab, the Buddy List window can be docked to left or right of your desktop
- Linked screen names: UI changes - the status button of all linked names should now be displayed at top of the Buddy List and clicking a screen name"s button will display the buddies associated with that name
