Chris-Gonzales Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 would be nice imo, if theyll take advantage of one old longhorn concepts: a nice photorealistic gui thats what i want... mmmm love that one. This was changed in Windows 7 because even more people complained about the lack of transparency when windows are maximized. They can provide a simple option right bellow the "show transparency". "enable transparency when windows are maximized" It can be done, its just weather or not microsoft wants to do it.

Aero is 10 times better then the ugly fisher price theme of XP. there have been so many (too many) changes from XP to Vista ....for a lot of people that don't wanna use Vista, it's the UI that has become too confusing... (from my experiences) why doesn't the recycle bin show me how much data it stores anymore?? Because its a major release. They can't keep the same things in there for ever. at least I want an adjustable icon bar in Windows-Explorer back ... Erm, explain. Ever since vista you have had a option to change your icon size in explorer by draging the slider. Thats a lot better then having to click each option to see what it will look like.

I'm sorry, but anyone who finds Vista or 7 confusing compared to XP probably has the attention span of a dead flea. The user experienced was dumbed down significantly compared to OS's prior to XP. The only thing that might be confusing is the way the odd thing is laid out or put in a different location. It takes a couple uses to get the hang of everything. Who cares about the size of data in a recycle bin, it's meant for files you delete, not store for a rainy day.

Windows 7 fixed many of the issues people had in vista. But its still in development, so saying you hate an OS thats not even out yet is down right stupid. ITS A BETA! theres bound to be problems. thats normal.

crazlunatic Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think the word UI was used to cause more hype than it should. Probably a new theme. I don't think its necessary for a start button to be there with many keyboards having windows key and it being easily accessed through Ctrl+Esc Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/759486-there-are-rumors-too-that-a-new-ui-is-coming/page/11/#findComment-590859956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrambo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Perhaps we will get some Longhorn UI features with Windows 7. I think RC should be called Beta 2. It's no rush.

If that was the case, it would have been gone a long time ago. May be not even come out in 95. Perhaps we will get some Longhorn UI features with Windows 7. I think RC should be called Beta 2.

theyarecomingforyou Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I really do hope we see a new interface or at least a change to the orb, which I feel really lets down the interface. I'm not expecting anything radical but I think the Win7 orb actually looks worse than the Vista orb. If it's an improvement then it would really add to the momentum that's already building behind it and further distance itself from Vista (which I personally like but many others don't). Also, I figure it's just a beta thing but for some reason every time I unplug my X360 controller I get a bluescreen. I booted back into Vista and doing the same worked fine so it doesn't appear to be a hardware fault.

Maximum Error Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 theres just no way they would update the UI after all the tweaks they hav made over all the build so far!

UncleSpellbinder Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Mark my words, the start menu along with the orb is going to die, and it wont be around in the RC... I did mark your words. Saved your post in my bookmarks so when RC comes out, I can re-post your comment in the soon-to-be-created RC Thread and "mark your words" as wrong.

raj1402 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 new theme /?UI is very much needed although win 7 has improved a lot in performance wise when compared to vista in looks it looks the same as vista if i wish there could be any change in win 7 that would be new theme /UI in windows 7 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/759486-there-are-rumors-too-that-a-new-ui-is-coming/page/11/#findComment-590860766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetech Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 i really dont understand the point why would microsoft introduce changes in the UI now in RTM branch.. i think windows team is working for a highly stable release. new UI now could create the inconsistency havoc which they would avoid at all cost...may be slightly tweaked AERO theme could come...

Mannlich Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 it wouldn't matter as most people will skin it with custom themes anyways. as a matter a fact ive already seen a few for 7. I really don't think that is true. That was definitely the case with XP -- skinning was at its peak back in those days. However, for Vista, I always found myself coming back to the default vista theme. It is a very select group that actually skins their operating system. Most users will just stick with whatever default themes Microsoft gives them.
