Microsoft has released its Skype 7 for Windows with improved features following complaints from users regarding its screen space that the app consumes.

According to PCWorld, Skype 7 is now complete with a more touch-friendly interface and a new compact mode to help cut down on the screen space of the app.

Microsoft said in its final release that it had included a new compact view in response to the feedback from users.

The company said that the update can be found under both 'View' as well as Tools>Options>IM Settings options.

Now, with its touch-interface, users can slide a window around on the second screen without a mouse, if they have a webpage on the big screen.
