I was using Skype 4.1 for a while, but it didn't seem to play nice with my JAWS screen reader. Navigating was a pain in the ass and the file menus didn't work right most of the time. Maybe in the future Freedom Scientific will focus on making changes to JAWS that the majority of it's users will actually find useful and benefit from.

Hi. lol OK, well I guess the subject says it all I really don't like skype 4.1. I don't mind change, but this interface just looks really weird to me there is just so much rubbish on the screen. I mean for starters in the conversation window where did the nice edit box with the history go? I don't know why they thought this interface would be a good idea. whoever designed it at skype needs to be shot. I mean I don't mind change, but seeing as they are providing a few customisations to make the 4.1 interface look similar to 3.8 why can't they just go the hole way and have something like a skype classic interface that looks like 3.8? I have only been playing with skype for a few minutes, but I really don't like it. I will give it a while longer and then if I still don't get on I will revert back to 3.8. Dug just out of interest, do you feed our comments back to skype regarding the interface appearance? I really don't see what was wrong with the 3.8 interface myself this just looks a bit to fancy for me. its a shame that someone hasn't developed hacks to customise the skype interface similar to the ones that exist for other messaging clients such as yahoo messenger, msn messenger and windows live messenger. Just out of complete interest, are the majority of us on list using 4.1? or have we all stuck with 3.8 apart from a few brave souls? Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
