I kind of liked the sidebar, everything in one place, and it didn't
block my "view"  but I can "sort of" mimic the behavior with the new
buttons. Also notifications in upper right, as the Grid intended. A
few things I noticed.

1. I have no choice in vertical positioning of buttons.  I want the
UI buttons at the right to be "top right, not middle right"  That way
I can have my inventory/friends/groups windows in "middle right"
Sidebar style So it would be nice to be able to move the buttons
anywhere on the docks and have them stay put.  The dock buttons also
need auto-hide, so I can put windows on the right and left and have
the docks "pop-over"


2.  I miss the firefox style search bar in the navigation toolbar.
To me it made total sense to have it there. I miss it a LOT. I'm not
for certain combining navigation and favorites toolbars was a good
idea though I do like the behavior of the "more" button on the
favorites.

3.  The "UI viewer" will immediately crash on launch....unless you
delete your preferences and start over from scratch.

4. Notifications still aren't big enough to show enough text.  I
think they use the "medium" size which is too big.  Have
notifications respect chat-font size choices, that will help.

5.  Certain windows don't seem remember location.  Inventory does, but
friends list doesn't.

6.  I've noticed that delay opening inventory windows, and it's only
with the inventory window.

That's all I've noticed...so far.
