Jeez with all of this how do you see?

[Keli Kyrie]

 This is the latest development viewer (3.2.3).... How do you see anything?

 

[Storm Clarence]

Lay off the fuchsia and you will see more clearly.  

[Keli Kyrie]

lmao /me looks at your tie,,,, and lols more!

[Ceera Murakami]

Well, I see no reason to have the mini-map open while you're dancing.

The local chat and IM with the BF can both take up half as much vertical space by simply choosing the plain text option for chat and IM's, eliminating that wasteful mini-icon header each time a person speaks.

Use tabbed IM's and all those other IM conversaitions use the same space that the BF's conversation use up.

Use the mini location bar and you gain an additional quarter inch of screen height.

You can choose not to see group tags.

" mini location bar " what is that?

You actually see *less* of the world when using the mini bar, so it's a false way of gaining more view.

You can see this by going to a quiet location with the full bar on, and noticing exactly what's at the edges of the viewing part of the screen. Then change to the mini bar, and you'll see that the world is slightly magnified, so that the edges are now inside where they were, and you actually see less of the world,

Let me be the first to say 'cute glasses!'

[Keli Kyrie]

Thank you Venus I hope they are cute cause they are going to bankrupt my insurance. They are going to bill my insurance $900 for those. They say they are Varilux Progressive Lenses, I don't know what that means but the cost a lot.

900 bucks and you start an OP asking "how do you see?"  

Didn't the glasses come with instructions?

You are wearing them dear.

I think the latest viewers finally make the Viewer 2 line acceptable. There are some things I'd change, but it's a big improvement. I adjusted it about the same as I've done with Firestorm. Here's the view with both IM & local chat up:

If I'm building or exploring I wouldn't have the chat stuff open, so the view is more like:

I ditched several buttons, moved the remaining side ones to the bottom, got rid of the location bar in favor of the mini-location bar, and reduced the size of the minimap. I'd like to be able to move the toolbar on the bottom to the right and move the notification location (or turn them off). It would be great if the mini-location bar could be merged with the menu bar.

 

[Phil Deakins]

Using the mini location bar causes you to see less of the view. Test it and see.

It's called angle of view. Change the vertical angle and you have to make a corresponding change in the horizontal angle or things with look distorted.

Oh. Look. You have a social life. No wonder my screen is so....spacious, I don't have all that....Its a good thing I have some HUDs, although they are not so talkative....

 

[Venus Petrov]

I have never seen the point of unlocking local chat from IM chat(s).  The only time I routinely have more than one IM going on at once is when I DJ.  Otherwise, I like to focus (plus I am lousy at multitasking).  If you keep the windows locked, they can sit together in one spot.  I keep my chat box in my lower left corner.

[Sylvia Tamalyn]

The next time I catch you still awake at that hour, you can add another IM icon to that screen....because I will be yelling "FFS, KELI, GO TO BED!!" at you!  :smileytongue:

[Sylvia Tamalyn]

Yours looks a lot like mine, Caity, except you have more HUDs so yours is a bit more festive. :smileytongue:

[Ceka Cianci]

LOL that was so cute  hehehehe

ETA: the OP post is what i am referring to..i haven't read the thread hehehe just the OP *winks*

[Ann Otoole]

The answer to that is simple. You buy a 24 inch or larger 1080p HD monitor and new high power video card so you can keep it all to the sides.

[Tiffy Vella]

Keli! You gesturebator! (grins)

[Ceka Cianci]

this is mine mostly when i am toying around  with my instruments..

so anything less than this and i can see just fine hehehe

i remember when i was a dancer and having to load animations from my inventory because there were no good huds for them yet..or a stop button..so inventory had to stay open and you had to keep opening them from the inventory and closing them..timing was  very hard to get used to back then..

i had a window about the size of the mouth hud window back then because of placing the animations all over my screen in their special order i had memorized..LOL

when huddles came out at first..i was in heaven lol

[Pussycat Catnap]

Its all about how you organize your clutter.

 

For me, its a pretty wide open view.

- That's a 1920x1080 screenshot. Right click that image and view in another tab/window to see the full sized view. 

 

Also just want to say, Ceka; you clearly don't have enough HUDs yet. Needz moar HUDs.

 

[Ilya Matova]

Or use a TPV like CoolVL that doesn't require a 30" HDTV:

A nice open world view that has mesh, alpha & tattoo layers, etc. and fits on my 19" screen. Standard resizable floating windows that I can put wherever I like and usable chat/IM interface.
