big step in the right direction with this update
but here some bugs i saw and some suggestions
1) you are loosing the focus on the chat window when the HOF ticker appears
2) why don´t you give the possibility to turn on/off the HOF ticker?
3) why can you choose a ped range in the options for the HOF ticker and not checkboxes for checking on a) HOFs b) Globals c) Discoveries
4) colours are now much better, but i want to choose a little bit softer colours for messages which are not so importend like globals, why don´t you move the colour settings to the options and use something like
http://www.colorpicker.com ??? maybe also interesting
http://www.colourlovers.com for doing some research
5) i still don´t understand why the message center has the icon of "WiFi" and not the old "Email" icon which would be more the correct icon for a message center
6) the HOF ticker window is not flexible, long text messages, specially from some OLAs, are too long and brake the range of the HOF ticker
these are the first 5-min-in-game-impressions of the new update ...
you are on the right way, don´t be shy and move some steps forward
