well i got it and there are a few things i should say about it. wrote the same in the feedback but i guess would be a good thing to point the problems out here too...

u have to do something about the font, this one's really ugly, or maybe it's just how my pc displays it, but the words are hardly readable, maybe you should provide an option to change the font, i prefer kroeger 05_53 for example, i think it would look much better..

the other thing is that i can't change the positions of the items, cos i'd like the clock to go on top but i can't put it there... the msn addin would be a good thing, also you should make a way to add/remove items or panels form the bar... and there's something wrong with the slideshow, it stretches the images very much and they have a very low quality.

but at least exp goes well on resources

Come on people. If you were to lazzy to sign up for the beta that is your problem. The beta sign up was posted for a month. I am sure the beta signup is now closed as he has his core group of testers. The main release will most likely be free but who knows. I am testing and have found a few problems with it. For me I just can't use it at all in my main Windows XP environment. It seems to have a problem staying docked to the side of my screen. It just keeps bouncing off the side. It does work in an XP install under Virtual PC just fine.

The font issue mentioned above I don't have. I can see everything just fiine. The slide show for me is slighty streched verticaly but acceptable in a beta/alpha build. Remember this is a beta/alpha and probably very far from an open circulartion release.

My biggest grip Is the clock. Yes I would like to be able to move it to the top as well. And joejoe really needs to rework the code for the clock. I guess he was using a flash version before and in the earlier screenshots it looked quite good, but what we have in the beta is barely usable. The hands are the same size, they are not positioned right, and they are all differnt colors. The hour hand is white, the minute hand is dark gray, and the second is babyblue, He rreally needs to fix this.

I will keep using it under my VPC XP install but I will not try and run it in my main XP environment again till another beta becomes available.
