Actually skype has much of the actual MSN/WLM look and feel but in a better way; it has much more in common with aMSN than you think; for instance, I think that for techincal reasons you can't have an inline progress widget for file transfers as WLM has, but you could certainly improve the file transfer in a way that resembles the skype one >> if we >> change the look for something better, fix little annoyances, then >> ok, but a whole change in the UI isn't so good.. No, that's not what I meant; you know aMSN has some sharpness, and sometimes you ask yourself "how should we make this look like?", and you KNOW that many times aMSN does not look like WLM at all (you see, the DP browser). This of course DOES NOT mean it's bad; it's good to have a bit of identity, but my idea was that if you're not sure about how make something look, give skype a look, and maybe you'll find the idea ;) > I hated >> gaim/kopete/etc.. because I didn't feel at ease with those clients >> when I was already used to msn messenger.. although gaim has an >> awful UI, kopete has a nice one, but it's different from what you're >> used to, so you won't like it.. that's how it works Well one of the main reason for which people like skype is that it looks like MSN/WLM and the other IM clients HTH -- NoWhereMan (e.v.) -- http://www.nowhereland.it -- http://flatpress.nowhereland.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
