Oh also, to add onto the LS widget idea, I'd like to see a representation of my NPC shells.

To keep it clean, it could just be a big lineup at the bottom of the screen, with the LS crest to represent each corresponding shell (and just clicking will change your active shell) and next to those would be our NPC pearls, represented by the corresponding logo for the classes. Clicking those will just be the same as clicking them in the NPC pearl menu.
