I prefer the multi linkshell use, because then I can view other LS's without being in them.

This would be good in an XI example for such as you're planning to do Dynamis and you dont really want to be stuck in your Dynamis LS to know when things are starting and where to go etc, well you dont need to be you can stay in your social and still listen in.

I think they already commented on the customizing color thing that it would be hard to do LOLOLOLS. Same is with the chat colours.
