New Skype looks fine--we will adapt. Still so thankful for no forced read receipts. BUT with it users lost some options we had on the old version. Please bring back:
-Online statuses that match desktop statuses (Online, Invisible, Away, etc.) so users can be more specific about their status. Please allow us to actually set status on the new Skype
-Muting certain conversations, not just a master Mute on the new Skype
-Hiding, rather than just deleting, conversations on the "Chat" screen
Also, theres a noticeable lag on the delivering of messages. Frequently, messages take too long to be sent using the new Skype (desktop Skype is fine, so not a wifi problem.)
Basically, if you want to overhaul the aesthetics, fine--but dont take away the control users had.
