+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted March 1, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Previous build being 0365. Well, do you think it's better or worse? Personally, I hate it. Colours are far too light (If I ask for #000000 I expect #000000 not #AEAEAE) and they got rid of the curves :( Bring back the old UI!

xorian Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yeah, the greenish layout was way nicer than now. I'd like to have the old version back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It's so much better. Cleaner and simpler, a bit more in tune with the Live design of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarFalcon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Maybe it's just me, but I think WLM build 0566 looks quite a bit more like MSN Messenger 7, especially with the subtle colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I agree, it's much better. The clean lines are a nice change to all the curvy designs we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Plz post pics to know which previous layout do you mean 7.5? 365? 562? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDog Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I like it to be honest - nice and clean... just wish they'd remove those ad banners (and have tabs off by default). Until then, I'm happy sticking with Trillian - though hey, it now allows you to rename contacts so that's a big thumbs up from me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.r.l. Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Far worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Live Veteran Posted March 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think the *design* could use a little touching up. But overall, the UI is much improved. I hated the "expand on hover" contact list, and a lot of other clutter. In 566 it's looking and feeling a lot cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It's decent. Quite bright, would prefer a similiar look to Windows Media Player 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It's much better. I _hated_ the hovering effect in the previous version that enlarged contacts and I didn't like the roundy design because everything else in the desktop isn't curvy and didn't match with my themes. Now it's clean but I do agree it's a bit too light, regardless which colors I try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deck Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It's probably a step back in the evolution of the interface, but not a bad step. The last version with the orange and whatever was ugly and hard to use. The Messenger 7 look is more familiar and easier to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhast Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 it changed my tray icon from that nice little green blob back to the old 7.5 icon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2xSilverKnight Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 it's better and it takes a lot less memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Definitely the best build out, but I would want a bit darker colours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 yeah i like the new build. but the colours suck :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralDream Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hate... a lot. So "white". If you're trying Vista you will know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxondale. Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Its much better in my opinion, much more smoother, i think the chat window borders suck something nasty but everything else is acceptable dave164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCheese Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Compared with build 365, this one is 10 times better. Build 365 made me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 2, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 2, 2006 It's much much better than the previous release. They smoothed out the edges and really worked on a nice data flow while compressing empty spaces to maximize the useage of existing areas. Very well done.

d3nuo Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 ya i like it too.. it's really smooth.. i just wish it wasn't so dang bright! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted March 2, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 2, 2006 Much better build. Colours are a major letdown though. Apart from the fact that I was almost blinded when I first installed, and I practically lost a chat window when going on Google (:p), all the colours seem sort of 'washed out'. Like when I change it to Black, it's more of a wussy Grey. Ah well, still good I spose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
