I mean the spaces reading "Staff", "Guild", "Normal", etc. Tab was the wrong word for me to use.

So far I have yet to see a decent theme that addresses my issues with the scripted playerlist.

Seems to me that the problem lies within internal content then, because the external ones (profiles, etc) were there long before. Almost all of the new internal content share the same faults as the playerlist.

Because a blue background is good to begin with, right? My point is that it's
harder to read.
@tabs, refer to my response to kia.

No, it is there. It's noticeable when you're used to normal framerates when gaming. As a matter of fact Graal's 20fps hurts my head at times if I don't play it for a few days after playing other games.

The playerlist itself is 100% "external", it's just that the PM windows and history were altered for security purposes or something. Profiles are still external on the v5 client.
