Totally forgot to mention:

HATE: the new IM / notification / local chat interface. I have yet to see a 
communications interface that is THAT cumbersome and badly designed.

Suggestions:
- make notifications (inventory offers, group notices) stay on screen like 
they used to be
- put chat and IM back into a non-modal tabbed floater, with the option of 
chat being detached into its own "chat history" floater
- get rid of all unnecessary spacing in chat and IM
- IM's don't need a whole third of the window wasted for showing the other 
person's profile. Just put a "profile" button there. That profile FLOATER then 
can have all the other buttons that the old one has: "pay", "add friend", 
"teleport", and so on. If you really think those buttons should be right in 
the IM floater, put them in a toolbar along the top.


Overall suggestions:
all non-modal floaters should turn partially transparent as soon as the user 
clicks outside of them.


bye,
LC
