Beta Manager Sharon Rylander writes: This new beta release includes support for 10.3 and has many fixes to the first public beta version. It also sports a temporary new skin–a baby step in the Mac direction–while we continue to hone an all new look and feel. It might even get better gas mileage. Everyone currently using the Halloween release of SlingPlayer for Mac OS X should upgrade to this release.

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 17:45:43 +0000 http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-10/mac-slingplayer-is-here/#comment-14550 [...] There’s been a decent amount of discussion regarding the (beta) Mac Slingplayer’s non-OS X interface. For example, MacWorld writes: The Mac SlingPlayer software works essentially like its Windows counterpart, and that?s good as well as bad. The first public beta of the Mac software, released Tuesday, makes no attempt to hide its Windows origins. Although the Brushed Steel interface skin approximates the QuickTime Player interface, it?s betrayed by the series of Windows-style buttons in the top left corner. It?s a little thing, but it?s still ugly, and I hope that the final version of the software replaces those buttons with ones of a more Mac-friendly variety.
