Time for the Live Messenger emoticons to be updated!

Submitted by alsiladka on March 18, 2009 to Aesthetics, Icons, Legacy

Problem: I don't think i need to explain anything. The Live Messenger icons have been the same from god knows which version. I think v6.

But the real problem is that they don't look at home with the new messenger UI.

Solution: Update and bring them to match the Messenger UI.

Windows Live Mail .eml, vintage icon

Submitted by formula_86 on February 3, 2010 to Aesthetics, Icons, Legacy

Problem: When you save an email message as an .eml draft file, the file type icon looks rather outdated.

Solution: Have it so that the icon used is exactly the same as Windows Vista's Windows Mail .eml file type icon.

Severity: Medium

Impact: High

Status: Fixed

Fixed in Windows Live Essentials 2011 suite.
