Can I have my full micro menu back please

[Enkidoh]

I agree with everything mentioned here - when I saw the new 'streamlined' buttons-into-menu system, I groaned. It reminds me a little of the horrid slide-out menu 1.0 used and was such a drag to use. However, I mused the reasons for the change was SE probably thought it would be better to have the menu this way to make adding new menu functions and selections easier. And sure enough, Camate's post confirmed that. So although I don't like the change, I understand SE's reasons for doing so. Ah well, like all things, I'll get used to it eventually.

"If it were the original 2 row horizontal layout, it wouldn’t fit on 1280x720 screens."

I see the problem. I am happy to announce to you that we are no longer in the year 2001

Actually, 1280x720 is the official minimum screen resolution supported by ARR, so naturally their GUI design has to reflect this limitation. Not everyone has a high end machine running multiple HD widescreen monitors you know.
