I have it working (10.2), untar and run -> successful. BUT, why is it so ugly? even worst than 1.3. It doesn't honour my system font sizes. I know its beta - but does someone know how I can get it to display font pt 8? (I'm very particular about my font size).
The Skype for Linux forums are full of people saying the same things. There are so many dumb things in the UI... like: - Click to expand the user details, but you have to Ctrl Click to close. - The floating call session. - When you are on a call, and answer a second call it automatically conferences instead of offering to put the first call on hold. - The UI does not respect font settings - The volume ranges up and down during a call - You cannot group your contacts anymore and on and on... they took so much of the usability out of the product... I do have to say though that there are some definite improvements... I no longer have to restart Skype to accept an incoming call. I still use Skype, but nowhere near as much as I used to - I mainly use Skype now to do Skype-to-Skype calls with friends still stuck in the Dark Ages (ie Windows users). I do almost all of my PC-to-phone calls using Ekiga (with FreeCall as my VOIP provider). It works beautifully.. crystal clear calls.. even to destinations where Skype struggles to maintain any kind of call at all.
