Holy crap...the interface is BUTT UGLY. It came up orange by default, and I almost threw up. Are the UI designers over in Seattle all smoking something?

(By the way, if anybody still wants an invite, just e-mail [email protected] and I'll hook you up.)

It came up as a royal purple for me!!!!! Wow, kind of ugly.

I'm playing with the paint thing now, took me about 5 minutes to find where they relocated it, I thought they got rid of it when I didn't see it on the top.

Anyone find a good color, if so what hex is it. I'm trying to find something that looks nice.

What else is new with this? Anything. Or did they just drop a few things and change the looks. Like the contact list doesn't bounce around / expand anymore.

Edit: Actualy, after changin the colors a lot. The royal purple or royal blue, its kind of half way inbetween the two look. Is the best color I have seen, nothing else looks good, or is eassy on my eyes. I just don't like any color combination.

Don't worry people, there will be enough people kicking up a stink at connect to make them re-think the UI a little ;) .

I sure hope so. I MUCH prefer the 7.5 UI to this one. Come to think of it, I recall mentioning the fact that I liked the 6.2 UI much better than the 7.0 UI when it came out.

I guess things just take time to grow on you. I'm sure we'll all be used to this new UI soon enough.

I'd have to agree with everyone's comments here. They seriously messed it up. The previous build looked more finished than this crap. The old status icons just don't fit in, and the UI doesn't look as refined.

:rofl:

What did you do?!?!?!?

How often does this happen?

Always Happens

I guess the UI is one of those features of a program which "always happens", eh?

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
