It seemed a little silly to ask the user if what they’re doing is correct, almost like we’re too stupid to work out what the buttons are for. In the current version of Yahoo! Messenger 2.5, you hit these buttons hoping to see the actions take place, but instead, you’re asking if the user you want to send a file to is, in fact, the user you’re talking to. Sending a file, starting a webcam conversation and adding someone are now much more straight forward. Again, all these buttons are much cleaner and easier to understand, something which is a huge relief, especially to those with poor eye-sight. Buzz and Add Contact are now both present at the top of the chat window, next to Webcam, Send File and Conference (which has replaced ‘Invite’). Again, minimalist is the way to go and the text formatting buttons have finally been removed - instead, these are customizable in the preferences, which I’ll get onto in a moment.Ī couple of other things that have changed is in the introduction of two new buttons. User icons are rather in your face but are a nice addition when compared to the current Yahoo! Messenger 2.5. Each conversational line is broken up into boxes to make reading much easier on the eyes, it also helps that they’ve used a variation of colors too.

Once again the look of the chat area is much the same as the main window in that it sticks to OS X’s metal look. Instead, we’re presented with some rather soothing and not-at-all-intrusive ambient sounds when we both send and receive a message. You’ll be pleased to hear that by default, that incredibly annoying ‘ring’ when a new message has arrived has finally been removed, and hopefully destroyed with some sort of nuclear device.

On first opening Yahoo! Messenger 3.0, you’ll notice how much it looks like iChat with the sky blue/light blue alternating contact list style.

Instead, they’ve moved the four buttons at the top (New Message, Add Contact, Webcam, Mail) to the bottom, also making it much clearer as to what each button is for without the need of words. There are no more annoying window buttons at the bottom of the application, as seen on the current version of Yahoo! Messenger.

The edges of the windows no longer look jaded and badly sketched like it’s predecessor and even sticks with the minimalist look that Mac owners should now be used to. Yahoo! finally seem to have caught up with OS X and introduced a brushed metal-style effect which now fits in with the look of Tiger.

Many of you will have heard Yahoo! finally introducing the long needed update to its aging messenger program and, although still only in Beta, it is available to the public.įirst and foremost, the facelift. The interface is nasty, the features are rather lacking and useless and the overall feel of the application is clunky and unsteady-I’ve often found it crashing when conferencing with people using webcam. If any of you use Yahoo! Messenger 2.5, you’ll know how ugly and awkward it really is. Yahoo! Messenger 2.5 only seemed to be a more popular choice for some time because of the web-cam function that it offers, something which we’re still all waiting for MSN to introduce to its service.

#NEW VERSION YAHOO MESSENGER FOR MAC DRIVER#

Please make sure you have installed the driver software that came with your video input device before using Super Webcam in Yahoo! Messenger.It seems to me that companies such as MSN and Yahoo never really gave a damn about us Mac owners, offering us second-rate software that would only be acceptable back in the days of OS 8 and Windows ME. Broadcasting with Super Webcam requires a Quicktime-supported video input device, such as a video capture card, a USB or Firewire webcam, or a Digital Video (DV) source.
