I don't have time for a flamewar. Petty name calling usually alerts me that i'm involved in something which has changed from an argument (in the classical sense) to a flamefest, something which I refuse to partake in. It's a plugin man. If one person doesn't like what you've done, so? At the very least, brush it off and let it go---concentrate on working along your chosen path. If two, three, four people don't like what you've done, reconsider your path.
One should be extremely careful of inserting words into others' mouths. How are my comments fascist? On point, there is nothing with a semblance to fascism here... look the word up in the dictionary, and read the definition. ... I did nothing of the sort, instead simple stating that I dislike plugins that change EV/EVO's UI and usually strip out the modifications with ResEdit---is this not my personal right? you claim to be "an interface designer by trade" so you should recognize that it is best to allow the end user to modify the user interface to fit their own personal needs. (I do hope that EV/EVO plugins won't start coming with a software license where modification of the software for personal use is PREVENTED under the DMCA.) For this I commend you, as many people do not have the knowledge/talent it requires to develop a customized UI for EV/EVO. However it is my own chosing wether or not I use that customized interface, not? In my original post, I had presumed (erroneously) that your modifications were part of a much, much larger plug instead of their own separate work. As such, I request that they be forked from the main plugin to allow MORE end user choice. (I may chose to play the plug without the new UI, and others may wish to use the UI and not play the plug. Of course, some will want both and they can have both.)
FINALLY--your plugin. Fine, not my style, but fine if you are a player who likes to mess with the UI. However, you need to lighten the graphics by about 20%. I'm looking at everything on a color calibrated monitor at 1.8 gamma (i.e. Mac standard gamma) and your changes to the game consol leave it too dark, nearly black. This would be good to fix. (and if I switch to my 2.2 gamma for web work, everything is black. "I see an Ambrosia game and I want to paint it black...")

Don't slag it off. Download it, try it, then slag it off.
