[opensource-dev] Client 2.0 - sidebar (was: Re: Open Development project: extending avatarwearables)

[Rob Nelson]

As an epileptic, let me do say that the viewer has caused "auras"  (sort

caused migraines, particularly due to the GL rendering area getting
"squashed" by the sidebar.  It's also very disorienting to people.
