Discussion on Status Bar Change
Player: Nice job changing the expanded status bar to get rid of the annoying wasted space frame.
GrimmOmen: Thanks!
The focus was on reducing the screen footprint without requiring any engineering or design work to accomodate it. Actually, it was that point that allowed me to get this in. I agree that both status displays need some re-work, and maybe we'll be able to do that in a later publish, but this one was more to get our feet wet for lack of a better term.
Player: Since this subject has come up, can you explain why the stats on the status bar don't match the health bar? I've always found that rather odd, and inconvenient at times. GrimmOmen: LOL - No I can't. ;-)
It may or may not be an art issue. I'll ask around. Player: also while you're here... ho wabout a switch to be able to use the old status bar in the options menu? not everybody was asking for somethin that ugly 
GrimmOmen: A switch??? My dear why would you want to do that?? ;-)
The old border:
1) Seriously Ugly
2) Takes up WAY to much screen space
The New border:
1) Not nearly as ugly (subjective perspective, granted)
2) Minimized screen footprint.
I guess we'll just have to have differing oppinions about it - and if you want you can let me hear about it everytime you post. I'll understand. ;-)
It may take a little getting used to, but I think you'll like it in the long run. Of course, I've been wrong before. :-)
