I really like this :) I really love the recent updates to the game you've been doing, such as HTML5 (definitely a GREAT marketing ploy too ;) ), and the customizable interface.

Here are some problem's I've come across:
*There is no ability to change the alpha (even if just for chat, which could be under the "interface" graphic settings)
*While i using esc to changing settings / log out, I feel by default you should still have a button onscreen, which can then be removed (as today, using the esc key isn't that obvious).
*When using the oldschool layout, you cannot re-size the amount of they screen the whole game uses. However, as you could just fake this through a custom prefab, not that important.
*THE ABILITY TO LOCK AN INTERFACE'S DESIGN. I'm sorry, but this seems like a no-brainer. While moving stuff around on the fly is nice, I'd like the option to lock a prefab.
*What happened to the xp counter next to the mini-map?
*No way to resize gamplay huds / move them partially off-screen. While I get why: I would LIKE my buffs/debuffs to be next to my combat bar, NOT 100 pixels above it to the side, for example.
*Under "My Adventures", you should be able to make (under the "my challenges" tab) the "challenges" section a removable window.
*Under "My powers" > "Quick powers", it feels ridiculous having to drag it all the way to the right to see the description.
*While it's nice having the "home teleport" on the map, I feel you should also have that bring up all the current teleport spells that are in your spellbook below the map.
*While this may have nothing to do with you (as it seems to be in the rs3 beta also), I would love the ability to change the center point on the character that the camera rotates around. I understand why this might not be plausible though.
*Bank window is way to squished.

Despite these, I really do like the direction you are going with this. keep up the good work! ^_^

Also, I love:
*The new "worn equipment" window design.

Hello all

- Id like to share my experience with the upcoming beta HUD. First of all i find it very interactive and it definitly gives rs an amazing new feel to it, a much needed one too imo!

- However, there were some frustrations and limitations to the new HUD, for example, when expanding or reducing the size of the chat box interface, the font size remained the same. for some the default size is too small as well. would it be possible to let us adjust font size? maybe even UI scales all together (including font and other parts when expanding)?

- Another one is the ability bar. i find it very frustrating that we are still limited to one ability bar in the upcoming HUD. Because having to switch between action bars to reach further bound abilities isn't the best way to do it ( I'm referring to holding down shift + 1,2,3,4,5 to access more bound abilities). I believe it would be best to allow players to add several individual action bars to the HUD at the same time, each one with it's own re-sizable options. obviously the extra bars will also need a new skin because it would be bad if each shared the same as the original with all the hp,summoning, adrenaline bars in it. Also allow players to toggle Hide/unhide the extra action bars, this way they can still access more key- bindings without the need to have the bar appear in their HUD.

Thank you very much for reading

I've noticed that the W A S D camera movements have been completely taken out of the alpha, when both typing and normally. I'm not sure if it's just something that I may have done or not. I just wanted to clarify

I've been trying the HTML5 beta a number f times and submitting bugs, but only did the NIS alpha once. The reason was, progress between the html5 and the main game was saved, but after the alpha, I had to redo what I was working on. Is this an oversite?

I like helping out and trying the new stuff, but I like to keep my character progressing too.

Well for starters, thanks Mod ThatJim for putting the time in for showing/revealing this new update- which we all know as: Interface Alpha. Some may say that Rs is turning into World of Warcraft, but I honestly say that this is much better. The update is gonna bring a better way to view the game in a way that we all wish, which is gonna make the experience alot funner. Keep doing what you guys are doing, because it doesn't look like it'll go downhill anytime soon.

I love the new set up..but have a few items that I couldnt find how to do..I'm sure if I play around with it more I might come across how to do things...like how to get rid of the cb bar when skilling also had to ask another player how to log out..I did watch the video but the young man went through everything so fast...I think I sat there totally amazed..but still love the changes. Oh the player that helped me log off said he had to ask how to log out to..
