The compass window has been left alone, but its no longer visible by default (when you create a new character). However, the clock window is gone since it was added to the mini-map.

We really wanted to consolidate more windows and we contemplated removing the compass window, but since the compass functionality wasn't replicated exactly, we decided to leave it but turn it off. For new players, the mini-map will be visible and it has North, South, East, West indicators on it. So if a player needs to go north, he can tell just by looking at the direction he is running on the map.

The clock and titlebar on the mini map take up very little room, but if you want to go back to a no-frills map, you can hide the titlebar and frame via the Window Settings.

While SmokeJumper was definitely on board with these changes, we've been planning on doing a UI revamp for several years now. There's still plenty more I'd like to do with the UI, but this was about all we could squeeze in for GU57.
