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.

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
