Thank you but no. I'm not even a fan of the new collectable gathering UI. It's bigger than it needs to be and poorly laid out. I like having the ability to customize where I place things, like I can with hotbars, instead of having the game decide where everything is placed for me like it has with the collectable gathering window.

If you want a good idea of what it would be like for crafting, open your Actions & Traits window while you're crafting, move it to the bottom of your screen then put your crafting status window on top. Is that really want you want? Personally I would find it claustrophobic. I like being able to see what's happening around me while I craft, especially if I'm chatting with nearby players as I craft.
