Title: WTG on Clipboard
Post by: BlckMgk on November 07, 2003, 10:59:52 AM: I noticed they took the suggestion of removing all clipboard radar etc.. when you minimize it. This will really help with lag in the Online arenas... GJ HTC keep up the fantastic work.

Now if we could get the AH clipboard look BACK, I'd
be happier.

I really don't like this new clipboard nor do I see any
reason why it needed to be changed.

For one thing, in the hangar that ridiculous pop-out-
of-the-side seletion thingy obscures much of what you would
want to click on behind it.

The clipboard "grab and drag" handle area is WAY too small
as are the [+ - ] buttons unless you blow the sucker up
to a size here it fills the entire screen. ( 1024x768 here )

All in all, I'd y the new clipboard is a step backwards!

Aside from the wrongness of that it doesn't move itself over to bring the portions off screen back onscreen. You end up having to grab the clipboard and pull it over to the right so you can see the options on the left.

The "grabbing" part is MOST annoying now sine there seems
to be one, and only one, plave where you can grab the
damned thing.

If this new "style" is gonna stay, at least let us grab the
edges, top or bottom to be able to drag it. The +/-
spots are way too small as well, IMO.

You did.

I merely commented that i find it funny that somebody actually furballs with the map permanently open.

Whatever floats your boat i guess, so on that theme whether your offended at my amusement or not, fact remains i am still amused ;)

Post by: ergRTC on November 14, 2003, 09:46:42 PM: at the convention, the flip out side thing flipped in and out depending on what you were doing. I am sure in the final version it will do the same.
