| | WLM 9 Beta: User Experience Consistency When talking to someone who has a webcam, the small webcam button to "Start and Stop Webcam" has two different behaviours. If the webcam is not being used, when clicking the button, a small menu appears: Start Webcam or Live Call. If the webcam is being used, them pressing the button stops de webcam. Is my opinion that buttons should behave consistently. At least I suggest to change the button icon to something that depicts the action more accurately. |

However, from personal experience, I doubt they'll consider changing this. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "ups" <ups@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:79BC063B-F1C1-4996-9AB1-58E6E2596959@xxxxxx Quote: > When talking to someone who has a webcam, the small webcam button to "Start > and Stop Webcam" has two different behaviours. > > If the webcam is not being used, when clicking the button, a small menu > appears: Start Webcam or Live Call.

| | Re: WLM 9 Beta: User Experience Consistency Well... wouldn't be an idea putting the suggestion forward before discounting it? Or am I being stupid?
