My inbox received 116 e-mails while I was sleeping. I'll have to be short and skip a lot of posts, but I did read them. Yes, I know RC 3 is a bit on the buggy side. I was in a bit of a bind with that one though because a lot of things that needed fixing were fixed in it, and a lot of things that I thought were working fine decided to break

I'm going to focus on these bugs, not sure what's causing them.

I'm thinking possibly something like the Office ribbon. People "hated" it, but mostly because of retraining, not the design itself. But it is designed for large feature sets, and works well when you have a lot of features.

That's just an idea, though. Truth is, I'd have to sit down and take a close look at the new features to try to come up with a decent UI design.
It's not just the new features now, it's the new features down the line. Problem with sticking a Ribbon in is knowing what to fill it with. Plus I'm sure I'd be crucified for touching the UI again, it's got that Marmite effect right now where you either love it or you hate it.

To be honest, I'm happy that it's a controversial and disliked change - if less people who hate it use the addon then I've got less people I need to somehow please - I'm the sort of guy who'd prefer ten users over a thousand

I might re-implement the option in the future - I'd also want to improve it so that you could possibly load/unload auras and displays based upon trigger events. So you could have an aura dedicated to Dragon Soul bosses that'd only activate while in the raid itself - outside of the raid it'd be unloaded.

I'm hoping to make that change today.

If I stop getting over a hundred emails that I need to process, read comments and respond to - I'll get it done by next week assuming I fix all the other bugs.

That's sort of outside my realm of control - we use the built-in color picker that WoW provides. We could modify it, but then we'd break any other addons that are explicitly designed for such purposes.

Mmmaybe?
