Yahoo Messenger for Vista Preview
Thursday, December 6, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Software
From the Yahoo Messenger Blog:
This is a preview version only (pre-beta) so not everything is in here that you might be used to seeing in other versions of Yahoo! Messenger. Here’s a list of the features included today:
- Entirely new interface that harnesses the power of WPF, the graphics subsystem in Windows Vista
- Organize your conversations into tabs, or drag and drop a tab out to create a new window
- Keep up with your favorite contacts by dragging them into the Windows Sidebar gadget
- Send enhanced emoticons that have some extra oomph
- Change the color of your IM windows with a built-in skin chooser. Go crazy with a different skin for every IM window!
- Adjust the display size of your contacts with a handy slider
- Arrange your contact list into multiple columns just by resizing your window
- Send instant messages to your Yahoo! and Windows Live Messenger contacts
- Send files to friends as large as 2 GB
- Find contacts quickly with the contact search bar. Type in a few
letters of the contact’s name or ID and they’ll come up in filtered
results.
- As-you-type spell checker that’s smart enough to know that "LOL" is not something to correct
- A preferences menu you can access by right-clicking anywhere at the top of the main Messenger window
