Harsesis Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Why can't windows users get pretty icons :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/150954-the-official-msn-messenger-40-icons/#findComment-1872967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_01 Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Because Windows sucks! No just kiddin', I think it has to do with that Microsoft needs to make those programs attractive for the Mac users. MSN Messenger is almost a part of Windows XP so they don't need to worry that Windows User won't use their programs. The second thing is, Mac OS X has a 128x128 icon standard, Windows XP doesn't have that, and Mac OS X programs are Mac OS X ONLY so you can make a program that fully uses the new system. Windows programs on the other hand need to run not only on Windows XP (that supports 32-bit alpha blending icons) but also on Windows 98, ME and 2000 (that don't support transparancy and 32-bit icons). That's what I think ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/150954-the-official-msn-messenger-40-icons/#findComment-1872993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intersect Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 wish some one would make a OSX msn skin for the windows MSN, as i have a mac themed desktop. and woud like my messenger to have the new OSX skin. why do microsoft allways make office etc. look better on a MAC they could reduce the size of the icons for windows apps. MAC ones look better. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/150954-the-official-msn-messenger-40-icons/#findComment-1978346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
