Why on earth would they remove that? Instead of forcing it to be on or off, what was the harm in letting a user choose how much of the effect they wanted?

Cris: my best guess is that it was making some of us crash. Maybe a better tested version will come back later?

Hm thinking about it .. that is what I was playing with when I got in. Shortly after that I started crashing. Maybe that is what was causing my crashes.

I liked having just a little transparency :( Once I got over the shock, it really added to the UI.

The slider will return in the next release.

We reverted some changes that broke the chat colors last release until the chat color bugs could be fixed and tested. Unfortunately those changes also included a change from the checkbox to the slider.

Yup last night logged in crashed 10 times in 8 minutes.

couldnt get anymore crashes than that because couldnt connect to the server any faster.
