Amnesia Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 wtf is this! The ORIGINAL 8 looked liked crap, I get an email about a refresh and see that they've made it even MORE ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driph Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 what was that team smoking when they came up with this new UI, i also really dont like the way messenger returned to the old status icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnesia Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 wait! I got it! they're making the betas MORE and MORE ugly so the final one will look amazing even if it's crap. I see MS's mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 On the plus side I think they might have done a little to reduce resource usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kussie Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I agree a lot more ugly then the last version. And i hate the fact the contact boxes are so over crowed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoR*Evanescence Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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 ajh697-wlm@yahoo.ca 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Veteran Posted February 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2006 Have they completely gone insane with the graphics on this latest build? I was getting quite used to and liked the previous one, but this is a huge step back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoochieMamma Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Don't worry people, there will be enough people kicking up a stink at connect to make them re-think the UI a little ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewhaji Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chsoriano Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji@nBing Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 same version here: http://g.msn.com/1csbeta/Mess80_EN Can anyone confirm if this is the new build?
