Con il beta-testing di Skype 4.0, iniziato con la prima beta, Skype ha osservato che imporre una schermata a grandezza desktop può non piacere a tutti, che gli utenti vogliono organizzare i propri contatti in gruppi e che la presentazione delle notifiche spesso è poco efficace.

La nuova beta (che potete scaricare qui) cerca di migliorarsi ed introduce:

• user choice of a default “large desktop” view or a compact view
• organization of contacts by categories with several default categories (the term “Groups” now refers to a multitude of users within a conversation such as in a Group Chat, Public chat or on a multi-party call)
• new drop down menu to select “Categories” from the “Contacts” tabnew algorithms for message and missed call notification, with the initial notification coming via a tag on the Skype System Tray icon so as not to make the notification activity overwhelming
• a new way to display a selected Contact’s information when in a call or chat session
• several options for resizing the user information, the video images, the chat area of a conversation, etc.
• entry of PSTN phone numbers into a Contact’s information on your local PC for those Contacts who have not included these phone numbers in their Skype user profile: mobile, home, office, other.
