So I just tested the new timer- it works great! I'll take a peek in the code and see where I might be able to change the shift length to 8 hours, as that's what we've been using so there's essentially four shifts in the day. That's such a minor thing that it's hardly even worth mentioning, and I can always just ctrl-scroll the hours also. I am sort of interested in taking a peek under the hood anyway though, so this is as good excuse as any! :)
I also tested out the new chat panel colors, and I have some more feedback. Check out the picture that's attached to this post first.

The new pitch black non-transparent background is great! However, the chat bubbles are bright white now, and that makes the green text that otherwise would read easily, hard to read again. The emotes are super easy to read, the OOC messages are VERY hard to see, system text reads like a dream, story text bubbles are a bit hard on the eyes because they still seem to have the "parchment" background to them along with the green text, whispers read ok (because they are white background with black text- so it reads easy but loses the cool "Alien" flare)
