FWIW,
I would also like to see the return to "Mute" instead of
"Block". With all due respect to your user testing, the telephone on
my desk has a "Mute" button, not a "Block" button, and I consider it
a very heavily used communications tool. Perhaps there should be an
option in preferences for setting the label for this function to
either "Mute" or "Block", as that would keep all of your users happy.
Thank you

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm working on some updates to the
pdf right now and will send that out for further review later today!
I can't promise all the suggested additions will go into the prefs,
but I'll definitely look at each one as I'm making updates.
A few responses to those who's provided feedback so far:
@Marine - 1) The text chat logs have been fixed in 2.3 beta. 2) We
changed the label from "Mute" to "Block" early on in V2 because our
user testing indicated new users were confused about what "Mute"
means and understood "Block" because it's used commonly in other
communication tools.
@GeneJ - That for the reminder on that typo. It was pointed out in
my OH the other week and I needed a good kick to remember to fix it! :)
@Wolfpup - We're just talking about skinning for now. In the
meantime, I'm just gathering color options in one place. But you're
right - future skinning preferences will likely require a restart
before changes would take effect.
@Erin - I've taken note of your request for the numerical debug
settings for sculpties. I'm not sure they make sense in this
preference cleanup I'm doing now, but will be useful when I can
focus my team on a sprint focused on content creation as some point
in the near future. As far as local lights go, they've actually been
added back in on the Mesh Project Viewer
(<https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SH-157>SH-157) (which will
eventually be added into the main Second Life Viewer). I'll take a
look at the other tickets you referenced today.
@Hitomi - Thanks for the additional settings. I'll review these this
morning and see what makes sense to incorporate. That's a great list!
More updates from me soon!

I keep seeing people talking about user readable chat logs and from
what I'm seeing in the current dev builds the logs are already back
to plain text. I'm currently working on a feature that is dealing
with chat and group/personal IM logs.

Subject: Re: [opensource-dev] Request for feedback - Preferences Cleanup
Thanks for the Preferences mock-up (must say that I rather like the
anime look of them :)) - some really sensible stuff there.
Suggestions (all currently in Debug Settings):
Chat - adjustable life and fade times for Startup, IM and Group
popups - I find they are too short for me to spot sometimes
Chat - Add in spinners to alter the number of times that IM tabs
flash and the rate at which they flash at
Advanced - Move 'UI Size' slider to Graphics as KL and myself have
done - it fits more naturally there
Graphics->Hardware - allow forcing on of Antialiasing (as the Viewer
GPU presets often gets this wrong) or better still fix the presets :)
Move & View - put in spinners for amount of head movement
Move & View - Checkbox to allow double-click point-move in-world as
an alternative to double-click teleport (which is welcome)
Move & View - Checkbox for 'Number keys move avatar'
Privacy - Check-box to select option to also create user-readable
chat logs (as others have suggested) <- this is what I'm referring to.
Advanced - Checkbox for 'Show Grid Selection at login'
Advanced - Checkbox for 'Disable Camera Constraints'
Advanced - Checkbox for 'Limit the distance I can select objects at'
and sliders/spinners for selection distance and amount you can drag
in one step
Advanced - Checkbox for 'Show UI in snapshots'
