MemberA new beta was released today.
DeadAIM 4.5 currently looks to NOT work very well with it.

ParticipantThe IM window would not be so bad if they took out the Games Express and the little thing at the right side of the IM window.. All I have to say is, 1 more version of Aim And more junk smashed in it

MemberMy God that interface looks hideous. The button thing on the right makes me wonder whether or not AIM is going to start looking like the Instant Messenger in AOL. (AOL messenger has that exact thing on the IM window) Looks like the final nail in the coffin to me…

MemberDave is right, this is the end. But, us AIM modders are still here, and will do our best to provide users with quality software. 😉

Member**** that. I’m sticking with 5.5. I mean unless something important is added (You got pictures? Aim – Aol user connection thingy? who cares?) I’m not gonna upgrade. I mean that’s uglier than my ass on a thursday afternoon.

ParticipantCould someone that installed this excuse for an IM client please tell me what the thing on the right is? =)
We can only wonder what the heck will be in AIM 6.0…
Oh, and on a side note, where were 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8? Do they just choose version numbers and names that sound cool? (Oh, of course, AOL 9.0 OPTIMIZED)

MemberSomeone said there was a judicial issuing saying that they had to slow down. That’s why its been two years since 5.0 came out.

MemberThey replaced the bottom row of buttons with this:
Closed:

Open:

And new menus:

MemberOh my God…that is the worst load of crap ever.
As if the client needs to get any bigger, the menu comes out from the bottom!?!?!?! More crap…
Setup has a whole new menu!??!?!?! Christ, could it get any more bloated?
AOL needs to fire their whole programming team, right now. Why can’t they ever be normal?

MemberEverything in that drop box is useless. But it won’t be impossible to ResHack it out.
what does that pull-out on the side of the IM toolbar do?Quote:quote:Setup has a whole new menu!??!?!?! Christ, could it get any more bloated?That’s not so bad. I mean, now, you only need two buttons on the bottom. Just Info and Setup, no prefs at all. Well, that’s just me.
How about the profile window? Was that reformatted too?

Memberwow, that was a good laugh. I downloaded it just for laughs and to get screenshots. MANY a buttons were added. maybe 1 or 2 new features added. so theres pretty much NO new features, but many a buttons to go to old features. heres the new AIM Today Window:
http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/aimnew.jpg
found ONE usefull feature, thats this:
http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/prefsnew.jpg
the IM window looked different to me from the site:
http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/imnew.jpg notice you see your icon AND theirs. twice the wasted space
b/l menu: http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/menunew.jpg
something else slightly, but not quite useful, smaller notifications: http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/notnew.jpg
you may add this thing to the left of your buddy list: http://members.cox.net/princesslyssa/blnew.jpgAugust 11, 2004 at 3:10 am #74658Mr.Curlynose1
MemberThis why people use alternative IM clients…
August 11, 2004 at 3:44 am #74654David
ParticipantHey camster, thanks for the screenshots, but can you please save them as .PNG or .JPG? .BMP isn’t really an internet-friendly file format because it is so large.

sure thing, oh, and if anyone wants more screenshots of something, just ask, I still have the new version downloaded! the profile window is also a little different (a button is added) also. I forgot to mention that.

Participantlooks like its time for me to go back to finding an interop that I dont mind. I second Charles’s statement that the whole AOL programming team needs to be fired and replaced with a bunch of chimps. i’m sure we’d see immediate improvement
