Still somewhat awkward

I just recently downloaded the new version of the prizewindow bar and it is quite a bit different. The old bar was not much to look at, and the new one is a little nicer looking but a little stranger to use.
First the new bar is not as long. It only extends a little over half way across the screen, but it is taller. It is still a floater which can be moved anywhere on the screen, which I have never been crazy about to begin with. It seems like you are always covering up the part of the screen that you need and you have to move it again.
I am using it right now for the first time since the upgrade and am noticing things as I write. So if I jump around on topics that is why.
There is no green light to tell you whether you are earning or not, but I think I just figured out how you know. I was typing and after a while the ad space went blank and when I put my mouse over an exclamation point, that is one of the buttons on this bar, it said click to load new ad, and I had to login again. I don't like that!
There are also buttons that you can hit on for shopping, Donating your earnings (don't know too many people that do this), and a button to display prizewindow.com's current news.
It doesn't really explain the changes too well either. I had to just play around with it for a little bit to figure out how to even move it. They use a > symbol for that.
For those of you that have not joined this one yet the payout rates are determined by the amount of advertising they sell during the month. They paid .80 per 1000 prizepoints in Dec. That figure is probably going to be a little lower for Jan. from what they said on the site. It also takes quite a while to earn 1000 prizepoints. I am not sure exactly how long but they have removed the limits from them so you can use it as much as you want.
I am going to recommend this one but not by a lot. They still have some polishing to do on it. But once again these are all free and you can always cancel later if you don't like something.
