New MSN BETA theme - anyone got a windows theme the same?

MY EYES!!!!
Its rancid!!! The pictures are all blocky, theres no smoothness like the other one!
Oh, and how do you get mini display pics back? I cant find the option. I'm just stuck with the generic messenger guy for all contacts..

It just feels angular and bright.
I have to almost use black to make my eyes adjust nicely to it. I much prefered the bold curves to faint boxes

Want to elaborate on what you find good? Its 'nice' but needs a lot more refining in my opinion.

I had just got used to only seeing one display pic at a time, and now its been removed totally! That was the neatest feature in 7.5.

Secondly, uncollapsed groups only contain the number of contacts in that group in the headding. It should also display how many in that group are online.
 
They've really botched the whole Online/Total thing.

I want to be able to see all my contacts with the online ones highlighted with a different colour like before, now I can either see them all but looking identical or just the online ones. It's stupid.

Just the design changes, i mean.

Got rid of the stupid colour header bar thingies and I much prefer the simple minimalist look.

I only use Messenger at work anyway, as i use Miranda at home.

Apparently these "older" icons are just temporary anyway, they're working on some similiar to the green ones in the last version.

Banned words blurred out :p
 
i think its a lot better than the last one, just a shame that it doesnt tell you howm many contacts are online out of the total you got in that group
