NOW UPDATED TO FIRST FULL RELEASE OF THE 2.0 VIEWER (released 31st March 2010)
About
This skin is designed to give more choice, and hopefully improve the usability and promote usage of Second Life Viewer 2.0.
It consists of a number of previously published viewer tweaks - produced by various residents (see credits in the downloaded 'Read Me' file) and added to, together with a slight reskinning to give the interface a lighter feel. It should hopefully benefit those people who have no wish to edit the XML code themselves, yet wish to benefit from a number of tweaks made by other residents, without using a third-party viewer.
Version 2.0.3 replaces version 2.0.2, and now makes floaters appear over the Sidebar as well as various minor changes.
