I jus noticed another new feature.

I clicked the arrow to hide the display pic in a convo window before, now, hours later, program been closed n computer rebooted a couple times even, in a convo with an entirely diferant person, theyre still hidden.

Thats awesome, messenger actually remembers whether you hid them or not n applys it to all convo windows not just the one. Love it.

I just realised....

in this new version.. all though the logo in the top left hand corner is tacky and the old version.

if you press "Windows Live Call" button - there is the new logo.

Wow that's a huge and tacky logo. The MSN logo in version 7.5 is much smaller and smoother -- it actually looks nicer with it on the contact list window.

I agree, the 'new logo' looks stupid. The one on this leaked version looks fine as it is, it jus needs to be a bit sharper.

Yeah I don't like this at all.. :no: :pinch:

Correct me if I'm wrong, becuase I just noticed this while browsing options.

If you go into options and then the Messages category... You'll notice the option "Show 'contact says:' before every message is unchecked. I assume that if you check it, it'll behave the way it usually does.

I think it's pretty spiffy so far... I do hope that they give you lots of options for customizing the way it looks and acts. It would be pretty cool if you could choose how the color scheme would look (faded, solid, etc). Overall I think it's going to be a pretty good deal.

This is the build of MSN 8.0 I have used/been using for some time now. It's a bit buggy but it works and I prefer the design of this to the screenshots of the later builds that I have seen.

i think the how it bundles all the msgs together should have a bit of a timer like all the msgs within a 20sec span will get bundled into one msg.. cause if they msg later it should make it a new msg... i liked the idea but a timer would be nice....

they need to make an option to place just "-"'s for a msg so it will look like this:

[My super-very-long nicknime without any sense...] says:

- Hello there

- Not answering?

- Hellooooooooo???

He says:

- Yes yes here i am already. BTW how are you?

This is a multi line msg. As you can see no "-"'s were added.

Just to include as an option in messenger

- It would be nice because it gives you better overview possibilities...

(please PM me correct spelling, i need to study my english a bit more...)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
