The Grand New UI Thread: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[Dogbreath]

So I wanted to consolidate all the current input on the new UI into one big thread, to help avoid duplicate posts. I will start this off, and edit the thread after every contribution. (preferably with a link to an RFE/bug report)

The Good
(stuff we like)

-I really like the DV and PV display. My only improvement would be to replace the current bars with a picture of a wooden shield and a picture of a platemail, and superimpose the stats over them. I especially like how the DV color changed with tactics settings - this is such a brilliant and simple way of displaying tactics, and is really handy, since I usually forget what my tactic are and have to check constantly.

-I like the scrolling message buffer for the most part. There are a few issues with it that have been addressed, but it speeds up the game considerably and makes for a smother, more immersive gaming experience.

The Bad
(stuff that's broken)

-Characters "swing" melee weapon and move forward when shooting missiles (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3476)
-(Not sure if TB is joking about this one) The old UI is used when commanding a monster (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3481)
-Numpad is broken in linux release (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3482)
-The targeting interface is slightly broken (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3485)

The Ugly
(Stuff we don't like/ideas for beautifying and enhancing the UI)

-Conversations with NPCs are easily missed in the message buffer, and seem odd. They should be replaced with a pop-up window. (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3473)
-The HUD needs to be more detailed (See conversation for http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3477)

-System message scroll bar has poor functionality (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3507)
-There really needs to be a "notes" page (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3440)
-Change the color of the HP/PP bar in UI (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=3529)
