Hi all.<br>
<br>
I've been using D7 to get familiar with it, testing / writing patches, and to begin porting my contrib module. It is awesome, but the one thing that sticks out to me is the inclusion of Overlay in core.<br>
<br>
Why are we including Overlay enabled by default in core? What functional purpose does it serve beyond eye-candy? I realize that it potentially allows you to remain on your current front-end page while doing some admin tasks, but isn't that why tabbed browsing was invented? This breaks anyways when you get redirected with a drupal_goto() somewhere.<br>
<br>
My biggest complaint is that It slows down the admin work of the site considerably, at least in my workflow.<br>
<br>
I don't mean to take away from the work that was put into overlay - some very talented people have put a lot of time and effort into building it, polishing it, and fixing some oddball performance issues. But it just doesn't seem to stick with the core philosophy.<br>
<br>
At least this module should be disabled by default in core.<br><font color="#888888">
