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 other versions of Viewer 2 (the main Linden Viewer) 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.
