Jan Veteran Posted August 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2010 Something else I've noticed is the new splash screen for Live Mail which looks pretty great and fits the overal theme of Messenger quite well. I've also noticed that all list hovers haven't been changed to the ones Windows 7 uses. This looks way better as well and more consistent (Y) Pics?

LightShadow Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 This is apparently the wrong build according to Liveside. The Refresh includes Facebook chat etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/40/#findComment-593041764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolix Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What about Facebook Chat? Is it working on Beta 2? Edit: @TechDudeGeorge oh, that's great, but is the refresh out already or not?

I got told it has not been turned on server side. But should do in a few hours. So for everyone wanting to be ready, Go to your Windows Live Social Settings On the Facebook Page check "Chat with Facebook friends" (Clear cache if you don't see that option). Connect to FB, Apply and wait.

BlueDraGon Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Looks like I just got the Facebook chat integration onto Messenger. Just go to Manage your services, then select facebook, then a check-box should appear asking you if you want to integrate Facebook chat into Messenger, follow the steps, save, and in a few mins you can chat with your facebook friends in Messenger.

Someone I've deleted and blocked just messaged me and I can't even find the proper settings for it. Yeah, they changed it now to "Appear offline to this person". But to see who you are appearing offline too, click the list in social view where you choose who you show and choose " People who I am appearing offline too".

LightShadow Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sorry but this is how a messenger should look like ... But from the looks of it, it lacks a lot of features, I prefer Messengers UI and features.
