I just got and compiled the new improvements and will take some
getting used to but they are nice. Have noticed the quirks that
Colter mentioned. But the thing I don't like is the new way in which
the chat windows handle MSN user names, ie mine. I Don't like the
@hotmail.com added every time I send a message. Yes I know I can
change the name in the prefs, but i liked having the service name in
the window as I was typing. It was another way for me to see which
service I am on for each window. Yes the icon on top works but I
ususally forget to look up there. Anyway thats my opinion about the
new interface.
On the Icons: Having change style icons for showing online/all
buddies look like the connect/disconnect style of buttons is
confusing at first. But again just my opinion.
