The UI is not good as it is now. It only looks good as a variant of white or light grey. Why allow people to change the color if it only looks good in two colors? I have seen a few concepts/mock ups that are similar to this UI which would have been acceptable. The revert to the older icons was also a bad idea. The fact is that this refresh looks more incomplete than the previous build. Honestly they should have done more before releasing this.

It is a refresh after all.

It is a STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The icons are smaller now in conversation windows, it is cleaner overall, and it looks great in white and light grey. they have to of course make it faster and more streamlined yet, but it is better than the last beta, which was very very bloated and didn't look to great from a design standpoint in terms of the new icons and colors used.

It will get better, and this is getting there IMO.

It's going nowhere. It still has all the crap the old one has and an equally worse UI.

Yes, only first gen testers (those that were invited by MS) are allowed to use the new build for now, as per NDA.

Apatch is a patch engine that allows you to customize the client as you see fit.

Actually... the default theme isnt that bad at all. I like it now. :) But the dark blue looks horrible.

How come your tray icon is the old wlm 8 one??? Wasn't it changed?

( not that anyone cares but i happen to love the UI )

I have to say, that it looks absoutely horrible in black :x i'm gonna go tell them asap!

This issue has been risen by testers already.

It actually looks pretty decent in gray. :cool:

Yes, that's exactly the colour I'm using. Light blue is also good.

that's the point of beta isn't it? To experiment with different UI and stuffs. The team did not say it's the final UI.

So I'm confused...are there two different classes of testers and only the higher one is allowed access to the the new build? And what's the a-patch thing people are talking about?

(don't shoot me I know i'm a newb)

there are internal testers who get a much frequent builds, technical beta testers, and people who get invited by the first 2 groups of testers. So far only the first 2 groups of testers have access to this refresh...~

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.
