[cal2002]

get better? the UI sux big time... i hope for longhorn MS won't be that foolish to even try using those glassy look... it's so awful..

I actually dont see any BIG changes from WMP9.

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

[JCAP]

[blueshirt]

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.

[SuperJediMedia]

That is one UGLY Media Player :|

Disagreed! I like the Improvements, especially on Now Playing and Taskbar Toolbar

[Si Veteran]

this is mostly with the UI

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.

[cal2002]

son of a....it doesn't support my h120 iriver. Fun times.

WMP 10 should support that device! It's on my list of new supported devices. Anything in specific happen?

[cal2002]

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?

So use the "Classic" skin (Y)

[SuperJediMedia]

Two BIGGEST things I love about this version so far...

Improved & Easier Now Playing

The skin colour your using is nice :yes:

Yes, no.

It really isn't a problem though, overwriting wmplayer.exe with a copy of mplayer2.exe is so cool :D

[cal2002]

I see, just a ol' school person.

[SuperJediMedia]

And, the Taskbar Toolbar

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.

the x bitmap thing is it trying to connect to the internet?

i am wondering cause my HOSTS modified

mitodna

[Zero1]

I have fixed the bug with the X at the bottom of the player, i will post the fix in a sec ;)

Wont install on 2k3 GRRR :angry:

Correct, as stated Windows XP only.

[housegroover]

It disturbed me a lot that in Windows Media Player 9 in Full Screen when you moved the mouse it would resize the video image.

Are you ok?

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.

Not really, iTunes is new and brilliant. I just don't like Windows Media Player 7+

I'm weird I know :wacko:

[cal2002]

dreamthief, thank you! This is what everyone needs to do if they dislike something so it can be looked at again. :yes:
