Tbh the default windows now are all big and ugly the fonts are huge the frames are huge! its just plain horrible... And yeh I have noticed a bit of a slow down also... I changed the default windowelements.dds to grayscale and that has helped lots with the few windows that are left to be skinned cropped etc by me..
One good thing is with the new code structure it's made it far more easier for sombody to be able to mod there own windows now and is much cleaner.. But a real pain in the butt for peeps that already have made full custom UI's prior to these changes...
Personaly I feel that the modding comunity has been let down in the respect that nobody to my knowlage told us what massive changes where going to go ahead... The first hint we got was with the arena windows...
Though like I say the new code is good just the windows suck, and realy we should have been told.
To me it looks like the whole dev team has been replaced! Or they been off somplace learning new programing skills I dunno....... Where's Bobble these days as well? ... Sure he busy guy but unusual for him not to pop in here... Or have I missed somthing?
Dont take this post as a "rant" coz its not guys.. Its just some of my thoughts on whats going on
