nazgul Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Holy crap, that's actually pretty impressive. It's obviously got a long way to go, and it won't make me switch from Miranda, but... damn.

f0rbez Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) First impression... disappointed. They did manage to revamp it pretty well. But once I saw that signature AIM ad on the list, I almost puked. Theres got to be a way they can put adverts in there, without looking that ugly.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2005 Wow, I just tried it out and they are DEFINITELY going in the right direction. It's a little odd navigating around the new UI, but it's got the simplistic but not beauty to it that msn completely messed up.

When the compile it under a release profile, it should go back down a bit.

Code.Red Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) It looks pretty good in my opinion, although the big ad in the buddylist is still there.. It also lacks some features, but I'm sure they will add them later on, after all, it is just a beta... Hey just found something, try saying :) and look at the effect..
