Meebo Got a New Design
June 21st, 2008 | Published in Meebo, Update, Web 2.0
Those of you that read the Blog at meebo or use the Meebo service – you would know that meebo just got a fresh new design for the meebo inside interface.
As meebo stated in their blog post,
- the background has been darkened to improve console and link readability.
- the new chrome uses fewer colors for faster loading (a section of the title-bar has 4 colors only).
- the new minimize, maximize, and close buttons are more streamlined so they don’t have too much that “click-me-now” feeling.
- the background, buttons and chrome colors all come from the same family of blues.
- icons have been reworked to use a consistent palette, so that no icon is more prominent than others.
- buttons have been updated to match the buttons introduced in the website redesign of a couple months ago.
- last but not least, new color schemes have been added: aqua, brown, carbon, red.
The day I saw this in my Preferences on Meebo Beta, It put a smile on my face! Why? Well to me, having the meebo interface how I want it to display is one of the Best Things that you can do!
For those that don’t like the flat skins.. There still are some of the Classic Skins on Meebo in your Preferences.
PS: David says that a new onyx design (v2) will be out in the near future – Stay Tuned to the Meebo Blog!
