my 2 cents.

The GUI is better than the last one, and it is starting to grow on me. it looks the best in light colors (just like the previous build looked best in dark ones), though it was quite a shock to have it come up in dark blue. There are inevitably going to be problems, I am sure that they know about the fellings for the GUI by now - over 45 votes/24 validations on connect about it.

Does anyone realize that sometimes at the end of each message carries over a letter from a previous message?

It's confusing, but if it happens to you you'll know what I'm talking about.

It looks VERY retarded.

Yes, it happened to me with the :-P emoticon... Very odd problem!

Who said I'm not a beta tester ?

Proof below:

That doesn't mean you're a beta tester. If you were invited by someone, you're not a beta tester. Only the actual beta testers have been given a link to this build thus far, and that's the way it's SUPPOSED to stay.

That is really nice work Luppy!

However, I feel that I have to comment on the interface itself of the chat window (which has nothing to do with your theme). Why is Windows Messenger in general, and in particular Live so little customizable? I have to rely on 3rd party tools like A-patch to make it more cool. Microsoft really suck when it comes to customizations and options.

From what I've seen, the recent build for WLM has a lot of faults such as no contact hovering (I like this feature), an inconsistent and noisy UI and somewhat limitied contact displays. But as it is still in Beta, I hope this is just a Build where they are testing out a few features. For now, I'll reserve my opinions.

Because obviously no one's leaked a copy to the A-patch creator, yet.

Of course he has it.

It's because patching wlm gets rid of sharing folders, because it does a hash against the files to see if they have been modified or not.

So it will be a while for wlm patches, as you will need to bypass that security, or you will do a msgplus style hack (editing wlm in memory) which is quite limited.

Ok I haven't got an email about the new refresh and I wasn't invited to the beta by another user, however I received an invite during the second wave given out by microsoft. Is this why I don't have access to the link on my connect page?

      I spent a good 15 min today trying to get new Outlook to use my default browser instead of forcing links into Edge. That kinda tactic is shady and it sucks.
