Small things that annoy you about the new GUI

Hi,

Since it has been open for testing on Amun I bet there are already some threads in the respective subforum. But since the update is now life it is time to deal with "the little things that make you go argh".

A quick glance already revealed 2:
- skill effect icons are now on the other end of the screen, it made a lot more sense to put them below the hp bars. we had everything on one spot, now we have to look all around the screen. I cannot see any improvement over the previous solution
- i *hate* the new hpbars. please bring back the black background to have a "full" comparison. Selecting someone in a group it is often not possible to get his proper position, but now you need it to estimate how much hp he has left. Or look to another place on the screen to check it there. Again, this is far from being an improvement.
- the new font for names and the clan tag is quite hard to read with the shadow
- let the spellbook remember the position like the other windows do

Dont get me wrong, i like the overhaul of the GUI, even though i dont really care for the fancy looks. There is quite some stuff to like about the new interface, I dont want to make it look bad. But nevertheless I have some issues with it that i would like to see changed...
