Ccp,
Can you set up a new button next to pin, or set up a 3 click function on pin that removes the border and background aspects from chat windows. In addition, It would also be nice if you can set these things to display on hover over. Lastly, the settings for this should be set in the widget in the chat windows itself.
Next,
It would be nice if there was an option to set up the local character display like that which a route has, namely, boxes next to boxes in a similar layout scheme as the destination course (displaying characters as boxes with their standings on top of the pictures in an identical format of boxes ).
This format should remove chat, enabling the entire local player list to be another box (potentially movable) on top of the left side of the screen as a child in the hierarchy of the stuff on top left (with search, system info, missions, and so on).
