SL's GUI needs some work:
  1. doubleclick for word-select, not entire field (which should be triple-click)
  2. tab focus to radio buttons, checkboxes, buttons, etc
  3. click-holding empty scrollbar slider space keeps scrolling (not just arrows)
  4. right-click context menu with cut, copy, paste, select all, etc
  5. option to only allow windows to move when click-dragging in titlebar
  6. option to remove the IM tear-off titlebar (which the button should just be in the IM window's main titlebar anyway; it's wasted space (duplicates IM chat name too) and X (close) button isn't necessary since there is a "Close" button at the bottom
  7. groups: founder user name clickable to open profile like Officers section
  8. profile: partner name clickable, "Show on map" should be "Show on Map" since it's a title and other buttons are title-cased
  9. toolbar buttons (IM, Chat, Friends, Fly, Snapshot, Find, Build, Mini-Map, Map, Inventory) should have icons and, optionally, only show them which would reduce the toolbar's horizontal width GREATLY. The toolbar's position should also be configurable (top, sides, etc)

I endorse this product and/or service. ^.^


I have a feeling the windows are a generic brand now, but in the early days there wasn't an X on some windows and that's why there's a close button for IMs.
