The new notifications do not use Direct 3D. The only thing that uses Direct 3D in the whole pack of applications is Photo Gallery (Movie Maker too since it requires Photo Gallery to work properly).

And I believe the Direct 3D aspect in that is limited to just the slide show.

you forgot to say the obvious change in the fonts… all seems smaller now… and the fact of the new dynamic picture option… the new mail icon… the new convo big icon of groups replacing the group DP… the header image in log in window and in convo… the new tips windows at the beginning to know the new options of WLM2009… and the important new connections windows that appears at the beginning… is important for skinners to noticed that CL now has two dropdown menus instead of three… the first one now merge the display name and connections…

I will write more when I reach to test it more…

Right, I didn’t talk about most of what you listed, except for the header image in the sign-in window. Will come up with screenshots and an updated list later… Thanks warmth, good findings!
