anybody else not like v2.2 with it big font?

Paradise-panda · 11-18-2007, 02:43 PM

I'm just not a fan of the distracting font they added to the zune. I like to have pictures of my favorite bands as my backgrounds and it is hideously distracting to have huge words written all over it. It also seem like the backgrounds are dimmer and less in focus :confused:. Also why is the music text so tiny, you'd think they would have made it big if they're gonna make the other gigantic. You think in the future they might let you choose which "theme" you want or are the people who don't like just gonna be poop out of luck?

Yea, I don't like how they used lowercase letters. But it's just something you have to get used to.

Super Person · 11-18-2007, 02:51 PM

I like the big font. The interface seems much smoother now.

and @cam-lowercase letters make it seems more casual then the hardwired "perfect" iPood.

CameleonMK · 11-18-2007, 02:53 PM

I guess your right.

Paradise-panda · 11-18-2007, 02:55 PM

i mean i guess i'll get used to it eventually, but looking at the letters over a detailed background gives me a headache. Maybe there's just somthin' wrong with my eyes

CameleonMK · 11-18-2007, 03:04 PM

I know what your saying. That's why I try to use simple BG's.

Super Person · 11-18-2007, 03:06 PM

Like the default one. They really put a good default one this time

CameleonMK · 11-18-2007, 03:14 PM

I know, it's so mesmerizing. I keep trying to find the pattern in it and I can't.

Gothenburgstyle · 11-18-2007, 04:36 PM

The biggest problem for me is how it goes from huge font to that tiny font for everything else it kinda makes my eyes hurt after awhile but i got to agree it has made everything so much smoother now but the best part of this all is now when i don't have album art how it shows your background instead of that weird picture with those random colors but thats just my opinion

Carlos · 11-18-2007, 07:16 PM

I actually like the new font size very much. Doesn't bother me at all. =]

vic123 · 11-18-2007, 07:23 PM

yea, the interface is great, but the only problem is non-english char hack doesnt work...

100% it's so great.

Techuguy · 11-19-2007, 05:41 AM

I like the new sound that the firmware makes when you select something...

Doppelfisch · 11-21-2007, 08:58 PM

I prefer to see my background, not huge words that are like OMG! "PICTURES" and "MUSIC"

The zune is typically marketed for a young generation, not an older one where this is visually advantageous to look at.

I don't like it.

I will continue to find or try and create my own hack if I can.

Robb4248 · 11-21-2007, 09:09 PM

it's different... I kinda wish that they would have stuck to keeping everything on the screen without scrolling, lol

Gothenburgstyle · 11-21-2007, 09:52 PM

if only microsoft sticked to ye old saying of "if it anit broke don't fix it"

ps yeah i know thats not the saying word for word but its the same principal

David · 11-21-2007, 10:04 PM

I like the larger font much better... but that's only because it's different than what I'm used to. I'll get bored of this, and the next change will be a welcomed one.

Gothenburgstyle · 11-21-2007, 10:11 PM

Still would of been nice if they gave us an option to change from the old layout to new layout somehow....
