I don’t know who is designing the UI for Skype but in my opinion someone should loose there job.
The UI is so “puffed” up it is ridiculous, before Skype used about 20% of my screen now it uses almost 50%. One of the new additions is a iTunes artwork style browser for your contacts avatars, that is totally useless unless you are 50% blind in both eyes and can’t see anything under 2 inches.
On the old Skype the contacts list was nice and compact, the new one has the users avatar in the front making the list about 3 times as long as before.
Putting everything in one window is properly a good idea, but please remove some of the excessive white space and the overly huge avatars and icons.
Reading Apples design standards and looking at applications like Linkinus might also be a good idea.
