Hi everyone.
One of the things that bothered me with the new interface versus old interface is how the screen space is shared between 2 different tabs.
In the old Runescape or OSRS, screen space that is used when opening stats, quests,inventory, equipment, prayer and spellbook inventory is a shared space that opens from top to bottom .
Similarly, Friends, Friends Chat, clan Chat, Settings, Emotes and music player uses the same space opening from bottom to top .
Now assuming we adjust the new interface the same way in RS3 - 4 tabs on top and 4 tabs below, when clicking on the icons at the tab below, it opens in a seperate screen space below the icon/tab. It doesn't open the same way bottom to top .
So overall this uses more screen space....given that it is more convenient to use since I can access more things at the same time.
But if I am a player who cares more about the gameplay screen space than accessing multiple interfaces at the same time, I don't have any other option here.
In order to have the same screen space be used, more tabs would need to be put in the row at the top (adjacent to each tab), but the problem is that this increases the width of the sidebar to accomodate all the tabs without having to click the arrow button to navigate, further reducing the gameplay screen space.
I also dislike having to use the arrow button because If I'm Pking for example, navigating between the Prayer Tab and Inventory tab for example could take up too much time, and result in a death for me.
If my explanation is too confusing, I've put an image to try to explain
Could we have just as an option to have multiple tabs to use the same screen space irrespective of whether it is adjacent to each other or not?
This shouldn't be overwritten but I feel like it would be a good option to have at least.
This shouldn't be a hard thing to code and it gives a little bit more flexibility on how we can arrange our interfaces.
