That's exactly the problem, really. In order to more properly determine what has to be done, there first has to be a way of *defining* what helps immersion and what doesn't.
Popping out a sidebar that covers and shifts the world over definitely breaks it. In what ways will it be possible to keep the concept, since some in LL are obviously absolutely glued to it (Q that's you) while still removiing its detrimental effect on the user experience? The chat bar's focus is also terrible. Only those who use wasdf to move can use it as it is... generally if my mouse focus in inworld, I want the keyboard focus (minus arrow keys) to be on the chat bar, as it has always been. --GC On 03/10/2010 03:14 PM, Tigro Spottystripes wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > The new interface breaks immersion, it places the world as just another > small area of the screen with a bunch of other things outside of it. > > On 10/3/2010 15:13, Argent Stonecutter wrote: > >> On 2010-03-10, at 11:48, Tigro Spottystripes wrote: >> >>> IMO the 2.0 interface looks way more like a "developer's interface" >>> than 1.*'s >>> >> Which brings this thread back onto topic for this list. :) >> >> I agree.
