VirtualBox 7: please revert the Windows-98-style GUI

Post by treysis »

The new look of VirtualBox 7 looks like it was designed for Windows 98. Please revert to the previous design which was much nicer and cleaner.

In Linux it looks good, it can shows in light or dark 8)
In Windows it looks really like from the 90's :mrgreen:

I'm afraid that the time for feedback like that is during the beta test period, which is now over. So unless you have a huge dollop of cash to sway the devs, I doubt that your opinion is going to make them throw away months of work!

It was actually a "bug". They forgot to ship the Qt libraries with the Windows installer. It has been fixed with 7.0.2 and looks okay now.
