Description

« Hide

Since the advent of WindLight, we've received a lot of great feedback about various visual changes/problems, primarily things that "look" different between the main viewer and WindLight viewer.

Some of this is by design, while some others can clearly be bettered, and yet others still are glaring bugs. All issues relating to subjective aesthetic issues in WindLight should be linked to this Meta-Issue so we can keep better track and resolve issues accordingly. By "subjective", we mean that there's room for discussion, and that it isn't a clear-cut defect. For example, VWR-3258 is definitely a bug, whereas the shiny stuff in ~~VWR-3133~~ invites further conversation.

As ALWAYS, it's important to distinguish specific issues instead of heaping them into a messy clump, so within individual issues, please be as precise and detailed as possible. One of the greatest helps to us is providing screenshots showing a side-by-side comparison, so if you can do that, your contributions are greatly appreciated in assisting everyone to understand what's going on. If you need help with screenshots, see:

We'll be addressing the hottest visual issues in our WindLight FAQ here:

» http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Windlight#Frequently_Asked_Questions

Expect this to be updated as we make progress.

Thank-you graciously!
