Since the app is built by Microsoft’s own people, it makes perfect sense that Fishbowl takes advantage of Windows 7′s superbar. The preview thumbnail also includes controls for jumping between pages or opening the Facebook homepage…Which is where the one real downside to Fishbowl appears.

If you’ve gotten used to browsing Facebook using Chrome or Firefox, be prepared for some slowness. Fishbowl is likely using IE8′s rendering engine, so opening external web content is going to feel slow. You can, however, force such links to open in your web browser – just click the gear menu and check the appropriate box.

You can also switch color schemes, though that only effects the bar across the top of the window. Still, if you’ve got a nice, dark Aero Glass scheme set up, you might want to flip Fishbowl to Dark as well.
