New improved Windows Live Messenger

by Andrew Pociu on Mar, 01 2006 - 17:42

Description:

Screenshots of the new beta version of Microsoft Windows Live Messenger which suffered a great facelift, making it more attractive.

Content:

The new appearance makes it look much better than the earlier version, giving it a fashionable glass-like look.
Along with the major appearance change, there are also changes among the functionality, although just a few.

Contact List

One great new option is that you can now hide the tabs that you see on the left side, from within Live Messenger's settings.

Chat Window

You can also send offline messages: "Messages you send will be delivered the next time they sign in. Click here to send an e-mail instead or click here to add a mobile number for this contact."

New apparence is not so great. To change email users or to sign out the menu buttons are soooooooooooo small. The colors are dark and make it difficult to see. The overal appearence is not user friendly

They really need a Sign Out button on the main interface, why do they insist you to go through the File menu I don't know! I think the colours are fine though.

I do not receive an email verification of my email address. Therefore, I cannot change my display name which is incorrect.

They could add much more features to enable/disable various things IMHO. Enable/disable sending messages while the other contact is offline would be great in next version.
