It now disappeares and can only be accessed again by clicking on the button on the left hand bar. Mucho annoying

It's just a thing of convenience. If you hit the Journal button on the left the Journal will open. If you hit the button again it will not close but minimize the journal (the button will get shiny). If you hit the button once again it will pop up faster this time because its just maximizing the window.
If you ask me pretty neat to have only button instead of the hundreds of bars at the bottom.

That's the best way I can describe it. Here's a screenie of what I mean. Give it a go! It's mighty useful :) *I have a specific comb for my beard.*

I used to love having everything along the bottom of the screen, ready to pop out when needed (Contracts, wallet, market, etc), but now it's all along the left hand bar (and therefore I must trundle my cursor over a further distance) Sad gorki :(

That's dumb. Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

Preferred the old way simply because minimizing chat windows used to be useful, now if I'm "lucky" I get this useless mess: http://piclair.com/data/yexkt.jpg

but usually I get this: http://piclair.com/data/yhzxm.jpg

Didn't want to access those chat windows anyways I guess...

The entire neocom stinks of :awesome:, they added stuff just for the sake of adding them like the hierarchical menus in the "eve-menu", if a UI designer tries to convince anyone that they are a good idea in 2012 he'll get fired (outside the world of software development for professionals).

And why are the ships and items icons stuck next to the ******* undock button? Who thought that was a good idea?

It's not always a good idea to talk to multiple people in the same channel, in each other's presence :) ^^

It is bulljunk with too much useless multimedia. Rollback thank you. Get classic forum style - custom videos to captains quarters screen Play with the best - die like the rest

Overall I like the new neocom, but I find the whole chat icon to be completely and utterly useless. I don't need it flashing there to see the numerous tabs flashing on various chat channels. An option to remove the icon from ever being visible would be nice, but I'd settle simply by not having it flash at any time when it's open and not minimized. Sure I could remove the blinking from everything, but that'd prevent me from seeing some of the things I want to see such as new EVE mails or changes in the wallet or whatever it is that I'd like to see at any given time. In short, give us a rmb mebu to disable flashing for any given icon in the neocom.

All those in-your-face flashing icons every time you accept a mission instead of the old discreet high-lighted text labels. And where are the text labels? I could recognise them much faster than trying to remember which icon is which.
