While for general users these changes most likely will be imperceptible, users who use high contrast Windows themes will see completely redesigned interface, because Skype will switch its interface to high contrast theme too.Īside from design changes, in Skype 6.7.0.102 for Windows was added the long awaited ability to make calls to Facebook and Lync contacts. Now Skype looks modern in all aspects and that's good. I think it's a right decision, because time of multicolored interfaces has passed. Furthermore, most of sections completely lost their icons.

The settings section has undergone changes too: all the tabs lost their gradients, rounded corners, and colored icons from the left side. Speaking about this window - it became a square shape, there are no more rounded corners and protruding interface elements. You can see it during installation or by opening the “about” window. Thus, “the secondary symbol” of Skype now looks simpler and less motley.
