Roll back most of the changes to text chat, at a bare minimum fix the text chat focus problem, but really text chat needs to be in a single overlay instead of a separate badged pane for each person speaking, and the text input gadget is at least half the width of the screen. Roll back the sidebar, or maybe provide an option to have separate floaters instead of the sidebar. Put the location back in the title bar so the search bar can be hidden without losing track of where you are. I don't know what to do about IMs, I found the combination of IMs and notices popping up in the lower right corner completely incomprehensible and uncontrollable. It's frustrating, like the viewer is going "stuff happened! But I'm not going to let you see it!" I can't explain that last part better because I haven't been able to use 2.0 for long enough to really grok it, because of the vertigo I get from the sidebar. I would like to at least see a Snowglobe 1.4 with the script limit visibility and clothing layer functionality of 2.0 released before abandoning 1.x completely. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
