Sn4k36 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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.

jmc777 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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.

TimRogers Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah, it's gone into my connect now and I'm running it. How do you change the colour?

Larney Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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.

Larney Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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.

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.
