Sorry I think it is time for people just to learn the new interface. You can turn on compact view witch will do a little of what you want but basicly if you want to get the full use out of the program your going to have to learn and use the new interface. Change happens and your just going to have to accept it and deal with it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JardataMailServices Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 8:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Skypeenglish] Setting Up Skype 41 interface to look similar to and act like skype 38 for better ease of use for all Hello Doug! In one post, you mention that a person can make Skype 41 similar to Skype 38 by making a few checks of boxes in skype. Would it be possible for you, either through your scripts or just in an outline form, give the instructions on actually how one can go about setting up Skype 41 for use. I think this is the major problem people have with 41; there is too much changing of the screen and too many things popping up all over the place; it is hard keeping up with it. I don't mind the changes Skype makes, but I just want to be able to get where I want to go and have the menus and tabs be where I expect them to do. In other words, I want the history tab to work like before; when I go there with CTRL-8 and arrow down to a particular item and click on it for deletion, I want it to delete. I think this would help if you maybe in a brief notation, give us the exact steps to setting up skype's interface so we can recognize it. I mostly want the main functions I use to work for me: making contact calls; making phone calls to US/Canada and internationally from my contact list by just clicking on them or making the dial area easily reachable; maybe having the scripts make skype tell us how many conversations are open at a time as each open (three contacts or four and so forth and so on); have the tabs numbered like before and a control key plus a number could get to anyone of them and make those be true; make sending text messages be like before (just go to options, arrow down to send sms messages or hit the first letter attributed to this item, type in your phone number to receive text, tab over to message and enter message, and then tab to send message and send it, and you could just tab around and send as many as you wish). The scripts work fine; they are not the problem; it is just skype 41 appears to be too movable, you can't tell when something may change on the screen. We just want skype to be more stable and work for the things we want. I know skype is free, but they off services that we pay for, and they made the choice to give the service free. For some reason, they seem to feel that making the product as unreachable or unaccessible as possible each time they upgrade. They can still make their improvements and keep things stable. Anyway, I just want skype to make their menus and tabs work as before. So, to make a long story short, could you assist us by telling us exactly how to set up my skype screen, tabs, and feature to give us the chance to make the best of it. If I can get my screen looking like before and reach each and every tab and feature like before, I will be glad. I am not asking for skype to change their features, I just want to be able to use them as easily as before. I don't even mind learning new keystrokes and/or scripts. Just make all features true and reachable. I don't want to spend all day trying to figure out how to send a text message or make a telephone call. Thanks very much for your time and help.
