VS10 new UI

The VS10 UI is taking shape, it still looks very much like the UI in the PDC build but with some tweaks.

  • Multi-screen support, the screen shot does not show how it works in action but the things you want\need in this you should start shouting about.
  • Editor changes, expand, collapse, works for you or not, let me know.
  • Extensions, MEF powered, the new manager shows how rich this eco system is going to get.

Sorry for the long delay in posts, first time I have ever missed a month but crazy, crazy busy.

Why not some 1:1 screenshots? There's not much you can see in those scaled down images... :(

will I be able to turn off cleartype because it's WPF? it gives me a terrible headache no matter how I tune it, and I know a lot of people are in the same boat...

multi-monitor - nice, triangles look a bit goofy - doesn't look like a very big target area to click - seems like it will require careful aim and therefore be disruptive to normal workflow, i.e. you have to break your rhythm to slow down and hit it square on the nose to collapse a block of code...

@matt if the expand\collapse was tied to a short-cut key then you could open up\close blocks with out breaking that flow?

If the markers were more like windows explore style collapse\expand and bigger in size would that be better. If you could also make that margin bigger to suit your eyes\style would that be better?

Better yet, if you replace the marker with what ever suited you (button, image etc) would that be better - option or better yet add-in?
