Stationery setup wizard is wizard97 style

Submitted by formula_86 on February 12, 2010 to Aesthetics, Legacy

Problem: In Windows Live Mail, when I go and select stationery when composing a message, and select create new, the resulting wizard is wizard97 style rather than Aero wizard style.

(At least it uses the Segoe UI font! :) )

Solution: Come on Microsoft, its not 1997 any more; update the wizard to be Aero Wizard style.

Severity: Low

Impact: Medium

Auto-save feature for Windows Live Movie Maker

Submitted by formula_86 on February 8, 2010 to Annoyance, Usability

Problem: Its annoying if you have been working on a large movie project in Windows Live Movie Maker, you have spent literally ages tweaking and customising the whole project to your liking, forgot to save your project, then it either randomly freezes up or displays (more...)

Solution: Add an auto-save feature like in the old Windows Movie Maker.

[Website Suggestion] Make this site use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does

Submitted by formula_86 on February 7, 2010 to Aesthetics

Problem: The Seoge UI font is used widely across the Windows Live products, so why can't this actual site use the Segoe UI font?

Solution: Update this site to use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does.

Severity: Low

Impact: Medium

Status: Fixed

Site now uses Segoe UI font :)

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Problem: When you save an email message as an .eml draft file, the file type icon looks rather outdated.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