I haven&#39;t had the time lately to install every build but I noticed something I really didn&#39;t like in RC1.

Music Library crashes a lot if internet connection not connected and its building the library ? Black screens when playing DVB-T radio (audio onlY) ? Random covert art replacing FOLDER.JPG (from internet or from inside a music track). (Media Player 11 issue) ? Widescreen Monitor setup does nothing! ?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=113180" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/09/02/112401.aspx#112487Sun, 03 Sep 2006 19:36:16 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:112487AaronI've noticed this and I actually don't mind it. The "now playing" background is darker, a bit more like a theater experience IMO. To me it's fairly pleasing. But I can understand why some people don't like it. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112487" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/09/02/112401.aspx#112466Sun, 03 Sep 2006 10:22:23 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:112466DaneeAgreed, (though I'm running the Pre-RC1 5536) I've noticed the same. But I do think this is intentional as this difference makes it visually clear when you are watching the actual playing content compaired to browsing through your library. Do I like it? Well, I like the idea but I'm not to happy with the choice of the background, they could have been a little more creative with it<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112466" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/09/02/112401.aspx#112461Sun, 03 Sep 2006 08:04:24 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:112461Brian BinnerupI just installed it (RC1) yesterday also. Am I the only one who things we are moving in the wrong direction? I would for almost all features prefer MCE 2005.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112461" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/09/02/112401.aspx#112427Sat, 02 Sep 2006 23:47:27 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:112427Mark SowulSeems like it's trying to match WMP 11.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112427" width="1" height="1">
