MrCalifornia Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Weird re-arranging of the interface. Don't really get why they need a whole column on the window just for the buddy icon. Seems like a lot of wasted space. How did you get that ugly arrow on the right side? I don't see that on mine.

rumbleph1$h Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I hate how all the new versions of AIM are so bloated.... this one looks even worse than the 5.5 versions. I'll be sticking with 5.2.3292 ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/201855-aim-593672-beta/#findComment-584336583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firespite Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 i'm sure aim ad hack will fix some of this junk and no DeadAIM does not work with it..neither does Middleman im sure the others dont either Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/201855-aim-593672-beta/#findComment-584336678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Bloated software. AOL can do a whole LOT better then this if they just know what users want. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/201855-aim-593672-beta/#findComment-584336691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2004 deadaim doesn't work well with it, apparently. Howeverm I saw a screenshot, and underneath the buddy icon, when using deadaim tabbed windows, there was an internet explorer error page. I'm worried they are going to be throwing ads onto the IM windows like they did with ICQ.

JoDaddy Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I don't think that extra column comes with it; it's an expression. Does look ugly, though. If more of my friends used MSN Messenger I would never use AIM.

scsgoal31 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 looks kinda wierd, do you know if dead-aim works on it? Check at www.jdennis.net It definitely doesn't look like its compatible, very chaotic looking.

Firespite Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 if they throw ads in the IM windows, the ad on programs and aim ad hack will be quick to get rid of them Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/201855-aim-593672-beta/#findComment-584336813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokar Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 ahh i figured out why they did that remake first off, note that the picture in the first post comes right off the webpage linked in the first post. And the pictures they put there are pretty trimmed down... They did that remake to make it kinda like iChat, where its more buddy icon A is talking to buddy icon B. Let me attach a pic.

JoHideo Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yes, I'd like to see what you're talking about... Edit: That really doesn't look too bad... it's just that no addons work with it now. That's a problem to me. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/201855-aim-593672-beta/#findComment-584336972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokar Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) i dont see that sidebar on the right like the pic in the first post... i think that is because there i chose not to install Games support. When installing there are 3 options: Install AIM Games Support Install AIM WeatherBug Install AIM Popup Blocker The new EXPRESSIONS thing looks really neat. When you click it, it opens up the AIM today window and logs you into the screen name service. When you get there you will see what i attached... Allows you to download Sound, Wallpaper and Smiley themes...which are probably all ripped from AOL9 :). Theres a new bottom bar i the window...which is able to be supressed, to an extent...you supress the text in the bar, but the button to un-supress still shows. There is a new menu in the options which allows you to choose Live Video...the wizard to set it up lets you choose a video source, even TV Tuners.
