instant.human Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well, what can I say, it's still crap. Too bad, because I prefer the one-window-layout. They just... got it completely wrong. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well, what can I say, it's still crap. Too bad, because I prefer the one-window-layout. They just... got it completely wrong. :( They wanted to make the Windows and Mac clients look alike... If they insist, fine. But in order to do it properly, they could have simply done what they do on Windows and allow the user to CHOOSE which view they prefer. I can't believe they've totally ignored all of the user complaints (even the 500+ comments on their own blog) and still haven't done anything about it.

Hopefully Microsoft will breath some new "old" air into the Skype GUI... Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
