New icons are coming before RTM - Steven Sinofsky


Recommended Posts

Sinofsky has responded to me on that thread as well, on a different subject. He reads a lot of forums also. I think he really cares what we think. Good egg if you ask me. :)

I thought it was really cool that microsoft will actually listen to your comments/questions in the first place.

Looking forward to the RTM :D

Indeed.

Awesome. In way it's kinda cool to know there's still something extra we're all going to have to wait for. It's like waiting for christmas!

Does anyone actually use screensavers anymore?

I use the Ribbons screensaver in XP, Vista and 7. It's only visible for about 5 miutes before the screen does into standby.

I use ribbons too, it's so entertaining :p

Unfortunately, some do, but I try my best to educate everyone about the evils of screensavers (vs. just blanking the screen after a short period of time, like 2-5 minutes) (preventing the CPU from entering an idle state). :p

i dont expect any new icons , in the rtm

Really? Even though most prior releases of Windows have this very common trend of updating visual elements like icons etc last of all?

One thing they havent actually done in a long while is have more than one icon theme available to choose from. And I mean CURRENT icon themes, as in two new ones (not just a new theme plus an old one). I know 7 is now feature complete, but Im pretty sure this functionality is already in there, they just havent got more than one set of icons. That would be neat.

"We aren't quite done with every last visual detail"

could mean a lot, for example "it won't be ready to have all visual details fixed". I'd say maybe there will be visual changes, but only maybe. We will see soon.

+1! I agree, would be nice if they added a new option to allow you to change your icons to whatever you like in THEME sets, not manually going through each one to change it (like you can already do now). Or when you change your theme in the 'Personalize' area it also changes the Icons to match the theme more properly.
