Does anyone know if Illwinter has any plans for this? It seems to be one of the biggest issues with all of the patch speculation and suggestions, yet nothing at all was done to help it. Most of them are rather minor, and certainly don't require much work, and it seems rather bizare that such common things as "Return to main menu" in game are not present.

It just boggles my mind we get something like Ulms new theme (which just boggles my mind in general) and not have such a widespread issue covered. (Especially when you may have a flock of potential new cusomters thanks to all the gaming mags reviews)

Interface changes would have to be made by JK, JK has only so much time. The new themes mainly take up Kristoffers time. Illwinter simply does not have the reources or time to implement all the interface suggestions.

Why does the Black forest theme boggle your mind? Ulm is inspired by amongst other Teutonic Knights and German Landsknechts. The black forest theme is Ulm an intended shift of style towards central and eastern Europe, Southern- Germany/Bavaria and Tranasylvania. One of the classic ingredients of gothic novels is tainted bloodlines, another feature common amongst the traditional, Anglo Saxon and Protestant, gothic novel is that it takes place in some part of catholic Europe, so making a goethicized fantasy 'Bavarian' Ulm is a natural step, I think.
