pikablu0530 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Screenshot of WLM Build 0566 got from this forum. It's told that there aren't many new features besides UI changes compared to the 0562 build, except the tabs are finally not popping out.

Napalm Frog Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 WTF???it looks the same!!!!! well, it nearly is... biggest change is making the top part of the GUI left aligned vs right. I liked it right, but meh, it's not bad.

Menthix Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 English translation of the source (Google translate): Today there to see the latest from the web version of the 566, for some special reasons he did not give me, of course, I also understand this point. He said that in addition to the new version of the UI changes, and not so much elsewhere update. One is that more ugly details not stand outside the tab finally, the head picture has changed back to the original position shows. Other do not know. As for this version when released, I received the news this month visit to another place some time early next month, is merely unknown. Only to wait. 8.0 stereotyped as only hope, stability and the process itself began to change, optimization. Not to constantly change shape, so that those who support the 8.0 release of software supporting the dates, such as MSN live plus! And so on.

Slimy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks for the heads up, I just hope they fix a lot of bugs in this release, I doubt many features will be added at this point. About the icons, see feedback id #28799 and tell them what you think!
