Really, great work.
The functionality is truly amazing. I love the improved formulations, and the ability to easily view flags, focus and worn effects, and skill mods! Also, really pleased to see that it is calculating augmentations in the overall stats when viewing items.
I do, however, prefer the look of the old Magelo from an aesthetics perspective. Could it be because I've been used to using the same Magelo tool for the past 4 or 5 years? Maybe. I also believe that my eyes are trained to see an inventory profile the way it appears in the game's GUI.
I think some of the easiest improvements could come in the font sizing being reduced (maybe by 30-40%) and the line spacing being tighter.
Also, I think that if the lists (stats, aas, flags, etc) appeared to the RIGHT of the inventory when selected, as opposed to below it, it would improve aesthetics as well. I think what is slightly uncomfortable to me is that I have to scroll down to view those lists at a glance, instead of having them immediately in view when selected. Same is true of viewing an item.
Lastly, I think the inventory, the lists, and the item views all should appear as though they are a window (like the game GUI). It looks a little too simplistic as just font/images on a plain background. Again, it comes from an aesthetics perspective for me.
Allow me to repeat, though, absolutely amazing work!! Please take my criticisms as an opinion only, and as an effort to help improve, and not as a slight against your hard work.
