Classic-esque UI options are available. Should Rogean do it?

[Fammaden]

If spellbook medding is enforced then it really seems like a full art original UI should go along with it also. That fullscreen "velious" UI wasn't even an option until...Velious? Or did it come during Kunark technically?

Some of those examples look pretty good and don't seem to restrict your view of the game world too terribly, even if they aren't perfect. The spell book should take up the entire viewport somehow though. Not sure if that's possible with our variety of modern resolutions.

If something like this could be implemented with chat tabs on the chat window it might be a nice compromise. Allow chat filtering to other tabs but still restrict multiple chat windows.
