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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Its much better in my opinion, much more smoother, i think the chat window borders suck something nasty but everything else is acceptable

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.

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
