gear tab is messed up without slim windows mode

Can you minimize the ability bar? it will be awesome if you can put transparency in it.

a good addition will be the option to minimize ever tab such as the inventory or the minimap

The chat window (npc) needs some margins

it seems good and comfortable, Can it be a possibility to add different color not just blue?

very ggod idea to be able to change minimap size

Ok, I'm finally trying this out, and I have a couple of things. If you close the backback window, how do you get it back without going in to show the default display. I realize that you can set saved layouts, but there should be a button where you can toggle it, and i can't find that. Actually all the windows being able to be toggled would be AWESOME!!

Also, I love how you can resize everything, but what about the bank window? Can that be resized? I can't find where that is an option.

Like someone else, I miss the xp counter and also the money pouch total. I really enjoy those on the regular game.

I think the graphics are awesome, but I think the interfaces are a bit clunky right now and hard to get used to. As someone else said, a small window with what it is (like when you hover over something in game) would be very helpful in the different interfaces and their buttons.

Veteran player and also an older player here.

I was waiting pretty much from this, it looked nice in BTS vid and I have found some features in current system very bad (mainly those black, viewblocking, massive interfaces in the middle of the game screen).

My first experience was dissapointing. Even though players clearly said they don't like the blocking interfaces on game screen, you have basically filled up the screen with game screen blocking interfaces. It doesn't matter if you can move them around as long as they are there blocking part of the game screen.

I haven't had lots of time to experiment yet but my first question is: What is the idea in transparent interfaces if you can't click through them? You possibly see whats happening under them but you can't take advantage of that, no way to move towards something, pick up or attack if it is under an interface.

Our player characters are positioned always being in the middle of the screen. I don't play on full screen as I need/want to have forums open on the side. New interfaces block the screen so that our character is no longer in the center as the usable game screen has gotten smaller but the setting is based on the screen size.

-- Please add a resizeable border around the screen where you can place interfaces away from blocking the game screen. Or atleast make the interfaces click through.

Interfaces which I use a lot and which are important for my game play are: chat, friends chat list, clan chat list, friends list, teles from magic book, inventory, minimap etc. What used to take just one area on the game scree but was infact many several different interfaces with the use of tabs, is now taking each their own separte area off the screen.

- Please add friends chat list/clan chat list/friends list in same interface under their own tabs (bit like in chat interface). There are for sure other interfaces too that can be combined and space saved.

continuing

What I liked very much in the new interface sytem is loadstone teles in minimap. But the problem with minimap is that those icons (compass, loadstone teles,run, world map) are way too easy to click when moving using minimap. They are basically now sitting inside the map area.

I didn't like the square form of minimap but that is just a question of getting used to.

Also, in my opinion, interfaces that are not vital in immediate game play, such as different settings, info, challenges etc., should be taken totally out of the game screen for example to pop up type of windows that you can move around outside of browser window.


Overall the idea of resizeable and movable interfaces is great but how that idea has been played out for now has still long way to be anywhere near user friendly and simple.

good riddens mate..runescape will DEFINITELY not miss you..and your lame mohawk..and btw its ZEZIMA..not zizima..if thats how you actually pronounce it then you need to stay in your english class a little longer..and good riddens to your entire clan as well..why do you even bother to register..just..dont ever use the internet again..obviously you cant understand or adapt to change..and although i understand the EOC and NIS are BIG changes..they are 100% necessary and needed so we are not fighting and skilling and everything else the crappy way we use to..arguing and throwing riots on the basis of nostalgia and inability to adapt is the main reason why i hate the majority of runescape forum users..you are all damn children..grow up.."more complicated" if you havent ADAPTED to it after its 1st week of release..its your IQ that is the problem..not the game...my clan and i have all gotten use to everything within one day..but no lets go back to OPscape where i can 2 hit anything i want just by using some potions and some metal claws...ridiculous..kids..get out of the house more often

SUGGESTION*

When the ability-bar is Locked, make it so no other items can be dragged (Run, prayers, abilities, emotes, etc.)

Nothing is more annoying than trying to switch prayers but you accidentally drag instead of activate. It should just be click and go, not drag cursor over icon, pause any movement on mouse in order not to accidentally drag, then click and continue what you're doing.

When the ablity bar is LOCKED, it only makes sense that you shouldn't be able to drag anything onto it.

I like the fact you call us kids since most of my clan are married and have kids most of there kids have kids of there own and as for my iq i work as a chef now and have worked and a investment banker in the past it is unfortunate that i do suffer from dislexia and unfortunatly do tend to misspell things because of this and as for adapting i do java programing for fun so adapting this is something i could do in my sleep the game is trying to hard to evolve into something thats just not needed we do need upgrades but not to this scale the update contain several interface issues as well as a complete oversight of the main issue that cost jagex literally hundreds of thousands of members when eoc was realeased jue to he bulky aperance i personally dont care what you have to say to me and i doubt my clan would either just remember that jagex is unlikely to want to loose at least 200 paying members all at once never mind the countless more outside of my clan.
