new MSN 8.0 Beta layout.

[The Dash]

Most Beta users will have got this but I thought id make a thread because think it looks better than ever :)
New sounds,New Layout and New Icons!

It's alright, but I'm fine with the regular MSN the way it is~

 

[Lily]

I'm not too fond of Beta as it prevents me from fully downloading Messenger Plus; either way, as far as looks go, it's pretty nice~

Amusingly, I was more interested in your awesome computer layout. XD

 

[Drifblim]

Although I showed Lily the other day.

This is the third time they've changed the layout. Personally I preferred the lighter version that preceded this one.

 

[enyce]

It's nothing that is totally amazing. To be honest it wouldn't have bothered me if it stayed the same.

I couldn't stand the light colors, it really bugged me.

This new one looks very nice, and I'm satisfied with it. I believe the MSN team has done really well.

 

[The Fallen]

It looks more professional to me, now. I'm in no rush to download it though. XD

 

[Eon-Rider]

Someone can't spell the word "friends". XD

I've saved the .exe files of all three of them. :D

*blink* I must admit, I kind of prefered the old one in terms of design. This one I think tries for simplicity, but ended up ugly. I dunno, I really don't like it. o_O;

Not that it matters to me. No XP means no Live Messenger. ;_;

 

[pokejungle]

I don't understand why people don't like it Oo;

There's almost no changes, and they actually made the colors darker. That's always good.

 

[Cherrim]

I guess I just don't like how they chromed the whole thing and took out all the curves. o_o; It looks far too plain. You're still allowed backgrounds or colour changes, right? 'Cuz I'd definitely need it seeing as, judging from those screenshots, there's virtually NO colour differentiation either. Kinda hurts my eyes. x_o

 

[pokejungle]

Of course you get color choices o_o;;

And what curves were taken out?

 

[Jesus Freak Josh]

That looks just as crap as I thought it would. You seem to be using Windows Vista Beta? Or am I wrong?

 

[Haruka]

Omigosh, WLM looks fine, but toally the eyecandy is very unecessary and it's totally eating my resouces up. =/

I used WLM since Beta 1 and it works totally great, but it does uses too much ram.

 

[pokejungle]

I have a gig of RAM, so I haven't noticed any over-the-top eyecandy eating my resources ;<

 

[Haruka]

I have a 1 gb of ram, but I need more because Vista will use more than XP... =O

Like btw, WLM only uses like 23 mb of ram...

 

[pokejungle]

Is Vista that much of a burden?

Computers will have to ship with a lot more RAM I guess.
