If you're asking about doing this in your own viewer project based on 2.x, go for it. There are plenty of people who say they want it, and you'd probably get some help. There should be no technical blockers. If you're asking about reverting the design of individual UI elements to the 1.x design in the official Linden Lab viewer, then - as we've discussed several times on this list - we're open to considering and implementing well-argued proposals. We've already done this kind of reversion for several UI elements and there will likely be others. However, we ask that UI change proposals take the time to explore whether there is a third design option better than either existing one. If you're asking about reverting the entire viewer UI to 1.x: in short, no. In less short, we'd need an objective, well-reasoned argument against each and every one of the several hundred UI changes between 1.x and 2.x. See above. We know that the current Viewer 2 UI is not popular amongst a large percentage of residents. It'd be hard to miss that. That's why we're working on fixing it. When people are asked to explain why they don't like it, they focus on a small but high-profile set of these changes, such as the sidebar, and those are the changes we're already planning to work on (if not working already). If you have ideas for how those specific changes should work, we welcome them. If there are other areas you want to fix or revert, and have a good objective argument for them, we welcome those too. -- Yoz
