like at everyone crying like little babies about the color of there UI.. Many of yeahs don't know this but windows live messenger 8.0 changes it color automatic to what kind of windows theme u got installed..

I got a very nice light greyish color for my UI and i love it.. An i hope it doesn't change.

u can just change ur default msn msger color. :p so stop all of ur bitching.

oh one more thing... Look at all of the paste msn msger UI"s it was all very damm blowed with to much crap on it and it wasn't nice looking at all.. But this UI isn't blowed like every other damm release of msn msger.

Ok just want you guys to share your opinion, maybe someone of the MSN staff will read this:

Wouldn't it be nicer if the info "<nick> says:" only appeared AFTER the other user replied, instead of appearing in each and every new paragraph?

It would make for a less visually bloated conversation. I think it would be a lot nicer.

:yes:

Another thing: they should improve in some way the presentation of file sending, the way it is you keep losing visual contact with the progress bar, and have to scroll up all the time. Maybe put the progress bars below the DP thumbnail, off the chat area?

Again, I agree.

It takes too long to sign in. It looks as ugly as my face. So yeah, happily back on v7.5 with APatch. And I'm sure Ahmad is working on a new version which may make it worth temporarily testing this awful version but he's offline at the moment so just wait.

Ewww, it's ugly :x

Why can't it retain the old better interface? :/

Because, if you haven't realised this already, Microsoft are trying to target 13 year old pregnant girls who like The Backstreet Boys with Winks and Nudges. Microsoft are just completely clueless to what users actually want from an IM client...to be able to IM people using a minimalistic UI.

Hah, nicely put.

It's depressing that they cannot make it look vaguely professional. Like many others, I thought the previous design was ugly and I hoped this would kick Microsoft into action to improve the UI. But this build has just proved to me that this obviously won't happen.

Maybe Microsoft could make a smaller, minimalistic version of Live Messenger, without all the extra stuff and a nice, simple interface. They can call it Windows Live Messenger Professional.

Isn't that the Live Communications version? Or maybe Windows Messenger. Ha ha.

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
