1) There should be a capability to close the combat/abilities bar. It just wastes space when not in combat.
2) Escape to exit is not at all obvious. There should be an onscreen button to exit the game.
3) Box banners in many cases are not needed and just waste space. I know that is the minimap, it doesn't need a banner. Likewise with the inventory, chat, etc. The larger grouped section, such as "my hero" have even larger banners, so much so for a while I didn't see the exit button form them. Lose them, they are not necessary.
4) Camera needs to be able to zoom farther out.
5) Resize in some cases really a "change layout" from a line of icons to a box of icons, not a true resize. Resize should let you change the size of the box and possibly even adjust the font size to accommodate the change.
6) A customizable button box would be nice. By that I mean a customized box that could contain an small icon for items I would open and/or close during normal play. For me the combat bar would be there, as would the pack inventory and the skills display. Sorry but opening one of the huge grouped displays just to reopen my closed pack inventory, or skills display just doesn't help any.

Please, for the love of Guthix, give us opacity sliders for the background of frames such as the chat window.

I am late with my feedback on the new interface. I do want to let you know that I love the idea of having more control of our "boxes." Boxes you can see through are my favoriate.

The emotes in the chat box and prayer and summonings info with combat info is great. I also like the quest and achievement progression levels. I like seeing all the levels. I like the world map being resizeable too.

Not so sure on the zoomed in look. If the zoomed in look is the closest it can go and is adjustable that would be helpful. I don't want to be that close when lets say catching sprites. Can't see. Need to be able to zoom out enough so we can see.

I was hoping that the chat box, map and combat boxes could be closed too.

I think the combat experience should be in the combat box.

Thanks.

I understand there are some things that I could not locate, or maybe I just missed them. I didn't see the experience counter. That is something I use a lot.

Hey im not sure if we are supposed to feedback here, but i have a few opinions and ideas:

I think that there should be a toggle option for when your moving the camera with the mouse, whether you want to go above the players head with the camera, either a toggle option or remove this as when i want to move the camera up and back i end up awkwardly looking down at my players head, also i find the camera pan a little slow and unresponsive.

Another thing i think could be improved is the size of the bank interface, it's tiny and i'm playing on a large screen in full screen and it doesn't change size i would much prefer it to automatically resize depending on how big a screen your playing on, and that the random extra inventory interface that appears when you enter the bank interface is not made up of little tiles with individual items in them, whereas the normal inventory is. to be honest i much prefer the non tiled interface for the inventory, and i think this should also be a toggle option as many people probably prefer it anyway, and this update IS supposed to make the interfaces make personal anyways.

A third improvement would be making full interfaces and windows into little sqaures that can be displayed when clicked, much like we have now with the bar containg things like inventory and stats, as i don't always want to see my inventory, but also don't want to have to go into the adventurers log interface to find it again when i close it. For example the stats and inventory interfaces could be added onto the small bar with the "report bug" and equipment screen buttons on it, and could appear as the little bar graph and backpack icons until clicked, where they could resume their previous position on the screen, so they could be opened and closed easily without having to navigate multiple interfaces to find them.

Thanks for reading my suggestions and i really feel they would make me, and other players really enjoy the new interfaces even more :)

I like the interface, but...

The boxes in inventory make the interface unnecessarily clunky.

Where's the Squeal of Fortune/store interface? When I tried to exit out of Alpha to return to the normal version in order to access the SoF, I couldn't. So I won't be able to use the SoF until this stage of Alpha is over?
