About
This skin is designed to give more choice, and hopefully improve the usability and promote usage of Second Life Viewer 2. 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.
THIS IS A SPECIAL VERSION FOR VIEWER 2.1 BETA ONLY.
The version for Viewer 2.0 (the main Linden Viewer) is StarLight 2.0.7 and can be found here where you will also find further information on StarLight.
Major Changes to the Standard Skin
- Sidebar reduced in size, becomes possible to drag, and does not slide the chiclets/buttons along the bottom bar (note: this is not changeable to crop the world view)
- Better formatting of tabbed IM window (tabs larger and no icons in them)
- Several UI components made semi-transparent
- "About Land" Button added to Navigation Bar
- Draw Distance slider added to Navigation Bar (between 32 and 512 metres)
- Options added to the menu ('XStreet', 'Grid Status', 'My Uploads', 'My Useful Features')
- "Inventory" Button added to bottom bar
- Resize marker for bottom bar to make it more obvious (from Kirstens Viewer)
- Camera control made smaller than the standard version (similar to the Kirstens Viewer approach but smaller)
- Minor tweaks to the skinning and usability (resizing columns, increasing glow, realigning text etc.)
- The usual lighter Black & Orange look (with several changes to colours and widgets)
Also with this release the Sidebar can now be dragged across the screen - a first step towards further customisation.
