If I were on a limited bandwidth connection, or pay per data, I do not want to download a 400 MB update if one exists. Here we see two updates, although my main criticism at this point is that it does not say how big these updates are. When updates are available, the following shows: If there are no updates, then Live Update will not offer a window to show no updates, but a dialog box. The APP Center list is scrollable however the Live Update application remains fixed. The user can change the skin color to one of four colors (to match each of the GIGABYTE product lines), as well as adjust update schedules. That aside, the above image shows the APP Center and the preferences. Typically this high-contrast layout is more suited for low power environments and to reduce eye-strain however after a while the effect of reading color-on-black can affect a user more than the usual black-on-white (which also tends to offer better readability). There can still be an argument made for a color-on-black livery. For Z97 we get the next iteration of APP Center and the APPs, and suffice to say it comes across as a lot easier to use and a lot of the sharp pointy corners that might have affected user experience are smoothed rather nicely. Back at Z87 launch it was an excellent direction to take the software, although for a first public release it was a little rough around the edges. Rather than having all the tools associated with the motherboard as different applications, the layout was homogenized from a single interface called the ‘APP Center’, with different ‘APPs’ for each software function. The number denoting the version was gone and the interface got an overhaul onto a black background and colored text. In the last generation, GIGABYTE upgraded its software package to a new version of EasyTune.
