In Firestorm, what are the differences in the possible default settings?

[sleezyscoundrel]

I've recently began using Firestorm to continue my trek through SL. I noticed in the default settings three different settings: Phoenix, V3 and Hybrid. As it's set now, I'm on Phoenix. If I were to reset the default to either V3 or Hybrid, what difference, if any, would I notice?

Best to ask the Phoenix - Firestorm support group in world, but as I understand it all functions are available in any of the choices, it is the initial "look" of the interface that changes. So the Phoenix setting was made for the folks that love the way their Phoenix looks and is the closest to that viewer look. The V3 is the closest to the Linden Lab viewer (it does not yet include movable icons but will soon) and the Hybrid  -- which is what I use -- looks a lot like Viewer 2, somewhere in the middle. 

 

You can also change the look of the viewer with the skins that are available. Some have sidebars, some not. Different colors and options in the toolbars. So simply try one of the others and see if you like it better. If you just came over from Phoenix and love that viewer, then you are probably using your "best" choice for now.

Try it and see!  You might like one of the other layouts...or, if you are a diehard V1/Phoenix user, maybe not.
