- Its the week before Christmas and Santa's elves aren't the only ones hard at work. We've got some tenacious elves of our own, and they are hard at work building some goodies for the grown-ups. As I promised in my last entry, here is a sneak peek at some UI work which you will see in the next release of the technology preview. As Paris Hilton and Product Design Manager Jay Behr would say, "Its hot."
You've given us a lot of feedback on the style editing workflow. You told us that it takes a few too many clicks to edit styles and that the interface is a bit clunky.
Here's what it looks like in Technology Preview 2 (the release currently available):

Well, that will all change for Technology Preview 3. Here is the new improved version:

As you can see, style editing will now be done on a fly out menu. No more opening and closing the style editor. Yay!
Sure, there's lots more where this came from, but I can't show you everything in the next release at once can I? Frankly, it would be somewhat exhausting. Okay, I've got to run and figure out my defense plan. I think that I just refered to my team as elves, and I'm sure that won't be popular. May of them are over 6 feet tall. And I'm not.
