Not every classic fix is as easy as an other. Modifying an item or mob is a quick database entry. Fixing the UI is a very calculated client modification that can potentially break other stuff.

They tried patching nightblindness a few months ago, but due to the wide variety of graphics cards/drivers/monitors a lot of people couldn't see their UI due to the modified gamma levels. The patch had to be reverted even though on the dev test computers and some other people the patch worked beautifully.

It is still on their list of things to fix.
