Wake me when they hire an interface designer. An app aiming to replace the telephone needs to be able to be running most if not all of the time. Who wants this thing taking up 40% of their screen real estate with it's ugly, bloated window? I know I could just hide it or dock it or put it on a different virtual desktop but why should I have to come up with a work around? Make the interface compact, efficient, and maybe just slightly attractive and maybe I'll start using it.

I think Skype is pretty darn Cool. In terms of usability and design. Offcourse things can always be better, but I'll bet them Skype-dudes know that. Having no taste is a *censored* isn't it?Tuesday, January 18 2005 @ 03:15 AM PST

I find the Skype interface to be very nice and well designed, especially the main window. The only gripe I have is about the focus in the chat windows, and I'd like to be able to configure the appearance of the chat a bit more. Apart from that, this app is great and the sound quality is excellent.Reply to This
