Malisk Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Oh my god..and people complain about the new WLM? They both suck. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code149 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I think a great deal of reason for that has been Yahoo's cash-flow situation (application development costs money) - Yahoo likely didn't even HAVE the money for a serious YM revamp until it sold some assets (Zimbra among them) Well, I don't think it takes an awful lot of money just to get the interface nice looking.I mean if the software is modular, it must be easy for them to modify the UI module to make calls to the native UI APIs for drawing the window elements instead of the custom god-awful skins, or at least provide an option to disable custom skins.

Boo Berry Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Uhhh, if you knew what you were doing you could actually use the Yahoo! Messenger For Vista build on Windows XP with the .NET Framework installed. Gotta let XP go sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xilo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Why would anyone use Yahoo Messenger when other better clients are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bₒₒzₑᵣ Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 now they want to keep your message history on their servers. thats kinda creepy. I finally decided to download it, it actually looks much better than the version in the screenshots. But still abit bloated and ugly looking. could get rid of the huge tabs. But it is beta. Still isn't a game changer. WLM 2011 is much better. So is trillian 5 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 They've had that same ugly look for years now. It's about time they changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonoBurk Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The WPF version was slow, barely responsive if any animation occurs, and pretty featureless - still pretty though. On the contrary, WLMessenger 2011 manages to sneak in UI animations and still remain snappy. The Vista version was really never finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_mark Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 The only Yahoo Messenger for Windows I ever installed was the WPF Vista version and it was one of the most visually appealing programs I've ever seen. I still have that installer. care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
