[sldev] A new look for the Second Life Viewer

[Ben Glenn]

Hi folks,

 

A project that's been kicking around for a while is an effort to modernize
the Viewer's look and feel using existing skinning capabilities. We finally
have something to show, in the form of a package of preview files that can
be installed into an existing Second Life installation. Please take a moment
to review the project description on the Second Life Wiki:

 

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_Visual_Update

 

If you'd like to try out the new look yourself, you can download the preview
<http://s3.amazonaws.com/dazzle-preview/SecondLife_UI_Preview.zip>  package
and use the included instructions to install the files into your current
Second Life installation. To use these files you must have Second Life
1.18.3 (5) installed. The installation is completely reversible by simply
re-installing the full version of Second Life 1.18.3 (5) from the Second
Life website. This action will not affect any of your saved settings or user
preferences.

 

Check it out and let us know what you think by leaving your comments and
suggestions on the project's discussion page
<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:Viewer_Visual_Update> . Once an
official First Look Viewer is released you'll also be able to file issues in
the Issue <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Issue_Tracker>  Tracker.

 

Thanks as always for your continued support and participation!

 

Ben
