It is an improvement if space is a commodity. Sure you have to click twice, yet it keeps everything under a single easy to access menu. If you have a massive monitor with space to store a dozen tabs across the bottom, great, yet I prefer the new sub menu. Given more functionality of course, I'm not ready to give my love to it so easily.



I dont see how. Right now they minimize into individual tiles and individually flash if there is something new typed. There isnt a single way to spin this, apart from appearance there isnt a single benefit to how the new neocom deals with chat windows over the old system.

Trash it, shouldve been knocked on the head a long time before it got coded tbh.

Dont get me wrong, im indifferent to the rest of the neocom. But upgrading the way the client organises chat windows by making it less efficient is unacceptable imo.

For me, the blink notifications for all icons on the customizable neocom on SISI is much harder to see than the "current" or "older" neocom. Perhaps make the color brighter or more white-ish with a frosty white background behind the icon that stays lite until the end-user clicks on it -- which will mimic what it does now on TQ. That way when the wallet "flashes" the background will stand out and be very easy to notice; something we're all used to now but slightly different too.

Another suggestion, let us rename user-created groups and put an icon to them from pre-loaded icons that the devs or someone with CCP will put together, something to the extent of an "icon gallery". That way we don't have to put up with the generic blue layer icon. Instead, have icons that are the redesigned to look like the icons or the same icons as on the neocom now, and maybe even new ones that help in organization and creativity that can be added in the future. I believe it'll give the end-user much more control and robustness to the user experience.

** Devs could even have contests or some kind of volunteer event to let the playerbase help design some useful and cool icons that the winners would have their icons uploaded to the icon gallery for all of us to use in our neocoms.



In summary, please make all the customizable neocom background to a bright frosty white color in the background for all blink notifications and enable renaming of user-created groups on the neocom with the ability (in the future) to add the ability for the end-user to assign icons to each user-created group so we can really make our neocoms unique and creative.


I welcome any and all comments and feedback -- especially from the Devs.

Also, I am unable to drag and drop items from the neocom Eve Menu to the neocom bar on SISI -- I hope this is being worked on and will be fixed before it goes live cause I think all of us would appreciate "creating shortcuts" or placing items from the neocom Eve Menu straight onto the neocom bar and in the neocom groups.

I think the customizable neocom is a great idea as it will help organizing what we need without cluttering the screen but I must say it will take some time getting used to. I think with the ideas I've posted here, and above, will help make the neocom better than it is now.

How about the ability to slide the entire Neocom icons up or down the edge of the screen. Since I gropu Neocoms, my icons are all bunched at the top. It would be nice to be able to slide them down toward the middle of the Neocom.
