Ideas are awesome. Thanks for sharing. > There's been a lotta "comment" on the new viewer 2.0 look 'n feel stuff. > What if there were two modes to the viewer? As I understand it, one of the reasons Viewer 2.0 is a complete UI redesign is that the old one was a pain to maintain. The new one is designed to be more easily maintained. Someone feel free to shout if I'm wrong. Some have requested the 1.23 viewer be kept as an option (I think Maya was the voice on that), kinda like how it was done with the whole Dazzle freakout. Done like that, having "two modes" would defeat the above purpose. So it depends on what you mean, exactly. My idea of "two modes" I've been telling people about is the "consumer" versus the "creator." But I have no metrics -- I can't say, "20% of the people use these attributes of the viewer daily, while 80% never touch them" and then make them invisible unless you click on the Bob the Builder button. > Like, i'll be straight up and say that for me, i like a lot about viewer > 2.0! But, i so totally *hate* that sidebar bashing into me like someone [removed 2.0 feedback so this thread doesn't get corrupted by it.] I should probably put up some Jiras about how I think it should be done, but there's so many people saying different things, and I'm busy trying to graduate by the end of the month, so LL's gonna have to proceed without my "official" feedback. I'm sure they're heartbroken about it. > windows i can't see through anymore! Nyx Linden said there was an xml file you could edit to fix this. I don't remember getting the details on it, though.
