Eli Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Works for me now. I like the new look. I would have prefered it to be darker, but it looks really good. If anyone from Microsoft checks these forums....good job. I'm liking it :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587255984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2006 IF your having problems installing WLM Build 0566, try to UNINSTALL MESSENGER BETA, then delete the MSN Messenger Folder! install from external link (one available on neowin) and install that way.. do a required reboot, and enjoy :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587256026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikee286 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Is this new build stable enough to use. does it crash much? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587256084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan. Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 If anyone cares, my opinions on the new UI can be found in screenshots on this page: http://jordananton.googlepages.com Remember this is only my opinion. I would like to see who agrees with me and who doesnt. Despite the fact that I only point out the wrongs of the UI, I actually do think it is a great improvement from the last build and think they are on the right track. But fixing these little extra things would make it that much better.

AaronMT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I agree with some of those Jordan. I just noticed the red pixel on the system tray icon, weird.

qdave Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 i dont quite like the new interface...its way too bright, spacings are too big. bloody ancient icons. even older 3666? build had better icons. i actually liked it more. will get used to it anyway :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587256304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklotus Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The only improvement for me is the Contact list. I hated that hoover thingie, zooming on the contact and stuff. Downright ugly and not really usable. I did however like the ... what to call it... the glassy ui with the possibility of changing color. I thought that was pretty sweet and really aesthetic. The contact list now is better, but i miss the glassy ui. These colors are just too faint and bright. Makes it look like a white square. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587256323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 ok, i see. suppose to be ads. haven't seen those in such long while that i have forgotten about them. like blacklotus, i hated the zoom thing. but overall i like the interface better than the previous build.

peewee41 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 i reckon this build is an improvement from the previous 0562 build...layout looks a whole lot better imo...but that annoying "what i'm listening to" bug is still present :shifty: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/6/#findComment-587257393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride365 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I really like the new design of this build. Its alot cleaner. My brother commented about how hard to look at the old one was. This new one looks more like the first one.

Pimpster Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 looks better but they need to implement a brightness slider for the colorization of windows.
