I hope MS see the reactions Neowinians give on the UI.

Unless you really say what the problem is with it, there is nothing that will change! This seems to be a problem with WMP and you guys. You hate or dislike the software, but you can't come up with a reason about what needs to change. this is mostly with the UI and the resources it doesn't take.

Thats the whole point.

What happened after media player 6.4? Did they fire the whole team because it wasn't bloated enough? It's probably just me, but WMP just doesn't feel right.

So, you are looking for a "6.4-ish" skin/UI, but would you still like to see the tabs and have access to everything?

Did you wish to explain what about you dislike?  Or just leave it at that?

As for the glassy look, it's sort of a 50%-50% like dislike thing.

Here are some UI i dislike bout

1) for example you mouse over the buttons (Now playing, Library, Rip and etc) you get a bottom lit effect, what the hell is that? It looks ugly.

2) the Seek bar and the Volume slider, the green colour is stagnant there. I didn't find anywhere i could change that. If there is such a function, well it is well hidden. We can customize the skin, the player color but not that?

3) The Online store logo beside the Movies button at the upper right side. I couldn't even get rid of that stupid orange or napster logo if i want to.

4) When you click on the SHOW MENU BAR beside the minimize, maximize and close. It expands to the normal windowed mode. You can see a square box there and that's ugly.

5) In the Library section, the user could at least have an option (one click) to hide the right panel (the one with Start Sync and Start Burn). It's typically blocking my view on the centre panel.

Having said this, i'm not all against the WMP10, i do like the new features like better Now playing feature, better management of playlist, better support for synchronization with portable device.

2 - I believe that's due to your Windows theme. Change it to something other than luna and I bet it changes :yes:

4 - That's obviously a bug and it wasn't meant to look that way. I bet it's fixed soon.

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.

      Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By RejZoR · Posted

      It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
