I was bored and I quite like the interface for Windows Live Mail and other live products. Anyway, i think messenger is a bit of the "odd one out" so i tried to create a smilar design to which is functional, clean and easy to navigate.

What do you think of it anyway?

meh, I like the 2nd one. On the 1st screenshot, the contacts are taking up too much space.

Me 2 :)

Quite like simplistic looking applications. Apple seem to have nailed it.. more or less. Im sure the new live messenger release with wave 3 will be awesome, expecially with its use of vista effects (forget the name of it).

Shame about the adverts tho... they really do bollocks up any chance of a "nice and simple" UI.

Hey Buu,

That looks real good. (OT) Just out of curiosity, please can you tell me where you got that wallpaper from?

Cheers.

No worries mate, got if from http://dl.studiopd.com/images/Hardwood.jpg

Increased contrast and reduced brightness a little, also put a left to right gradient across it.

This is my wall, 1440x900 tho.

Great design, Just had an idea though... if instead of the top toolbox being for contact search, it could be for status update or display name... like facebook... so the second display bar message on WLM would be a status instead. - just an idea :)

Hey Buu,

Thanks a lot for that. Much appreciated.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
