Working with V8.5 now

Category 8.5
I'm working with 8.5 since a few days now and here is what i can say:

Pros:
Great UI, a real refresh if you're used to work with 6.5 or 7. This UI only available on the full eclipse client but for many computer it will be good.
I love the plugins or widgets. Currently using : twitnotes and openntf recent (but does not work since i upgrade the 8.0.2 client to 8.5 fp1). I use Activities too (with a connection to bleedyellow).
other things will follow.

Cons: (in fact bugs i hope)
The Quota bar does not always appears:
A picture named M2
(here you can see my old 6.5.4 on the old server, design 6.5)
Same thing on a 8.5 mail file (ods 51) on a 8.5fp1 server.

Icons were boring me (they appear and disappear when i open a mail, a view,...), changing the height of the toolbar constantly, until i unchecked the first line:
A picture named M3

and now, all my toolbars always appear.
Html emails: So slow to open...more than 4 minutes sometimes. (a quick tips: check "do not use embedded browser for mime emails"). Internet explorer fault or lotus fault ?
A picture named M4

many things will follow.

Designer:
Well, so many things to learn again before being able to use what seems to be a great tool.
Actually trying to deal with Xpage, but i'm lost....

Gravatar Image1 - Your 4 minutes problem probably belongs to "downgrading" to Internet Explorer 8. If you use 7 everything should be fine even with the embedded browser.

Gravatar Image2 - Yes, like you said, a 'downgrade' to ie8.
