A new version of the AIM® 6.1 beta software is available for download. The version number of the software, which can be determined via your Help menu's About AIM item, is 6.1.16.1. If you have a webcam, please take a few minutes of your time to participate in the Live Video Focus Test contained in the beta area. Your participation in this test will allow us to make important improvements to this feature, including fixes to incompatibility issues with specific hardware.
There are UI changes and new features in this build:

• The application now features a color picker that allows you to change the color of Buddy List and other related window elements. The picker, located next to Help menu on your Buddy List, includes 10 colors, including the default orange color.
• Another new feature gives you the ability to change the style of your Buddy List's groups and screen names. You can do this via your Settings window's Style tab.
• Sub-sorting of Buddy List groups has been implemented in this build. Simply select the appropriate menu item from a Buddy List group's right mouse button contextual menu to invoke this new functionality.
• Your Buddy List window can be docked to left or right of your desktop. You may turn docking on via your Settings window's Buddy List tab.
• UI changes have been introduced with respect to the way linked screen names are displayed in your Buddy List. The status button of all linked names should now be displayed at top of your Buddy List. Clicking a screen name's button will display the buddies associated with that name.

This build fixes several bugs. It also introduces some new issues. For a more complete list of fixed and newly introduced bugs, check out the Known Issues and Fixed Issues sections in the beta area.
