Tech_Dude_5000 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Now I know this isnt a huge ishue, but is the media player icon the same as before or did they update that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myNando Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Does anyone else have a white pixel issue around the corners of the player? I didn't have this issue with the beta. I also installed the final on top of the beta... I guess that could create an issue, but I didn't see any warnings to remove it before installation. I got that thing too. Just maximize then restore the program. If that doesn't work, restart the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one experiencing it. Sometimes minimizing/maximizing doesn't fix it, but going to compact mode back out to full mode always does the trick. It is a minor issue, but still an issue that needs fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batbeef Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They added completely new file icons (mp3, wma, and wmv as far as i can tell)! Damn..and they look nice too anyways heres some screenies of the new icons: I'll be back with more screenies of new stuff I see or think it's interseting. Edit: imageshack isnt cooperating so i put up another link. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Elі Subscriber² Posted October 30, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's still black and it's still an incredible poor choice for default install on an XP that's supposedly very blue (not to mention.. white playlist? Who designed the colours, a trainee?) You can change the colors from the default like I did with mine, since I love blue I gave mine a blue feel, check it out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batbeef Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They changed some of the icons in the gui, they're using alot of light blue now, and some buttons have been changed and got a glow to them now, overall the performance is 2x better than the beta 2. Much much fster imo, like when ur scrolling though your media it goes much faster especially i you have alot of album art...the top bar looks a little bit more flushed in and doesnt pop out as much..alot of improvements imo. I think it's looking really good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llbbl Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Too bad it requires WGA to install! Having to buy windows just so you can install WMP 11 and their other new junk will not be worth it for many people. Time to migrate to OSX or Linux!

-Hiroshi- Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Awesome, I've actually been running the beta for a while now, its a pretty solid WMP version, and the final is just as much better. Haven't noticed anything but speed increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to migrate to OSX or Linux! wow what a troll! nobody is forcing you to use it, if you don't like it don't use it. complaining because you don't have a legal copy of Windows? WGA is not a problem at all for us who run legal software, so stop crying like a baby and get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted October 30, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2006 :D :D :D x64 support at long last! About time. Why does ActiveSync open up in the system tray every time I open WMP11? It is starting to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
