I have a question, and I'm not sure if this is the best place to put it or not, but here it goes! I just started using the SL viewer, and have DL'd the most recent one. I don't' like how the IMs and text chat have the name bars separating the text, but can't find where to change it in the preferences. Is there no way to do this in the Second Life Viewer? Thanks.
