TGW - awesome & congrats & 2 ??'s

I know I should find the proper place to post this rather than starting a new thread, but I wanted to make sure it would be seen by the TGW crew.

What a great job and congrats/tks to the TGW crew!

First, smooth as glass on install and running. I rolled back SH3cmdr, then checked jsgme and saw that somehow the mods (Rub and a few others) I had installed were gone. So I figured in theory I should be back to vanilla + the 1.4 patch, and decided to try the TGW install right away instead of a full uninstall and reinstall. I figured odds-on something would go wacky, but it started up fine into TGW.

Then there's the content, and I know I've only scratched the surface, since I've only had time to navigate out of Wilhelmshaven and scoot across the North Sea. Suffice to say everything looks fabulous. I thought I'd have some serious slowdown btw on my somewhat older machine, although have 1G ram and a decent vid card. Just a touch of hesitation in harbour, considering all the activity in harbour not surprising and like I say only a touch of hesitation, so pleasantly surprised.

Could go on and on about the small visual and audio details, but they'd be spoilers in a way.

2 questions, if someone wouldn't mind answering:
1. The left-side menu bar sticks out a bit into the screen. Is there a way to hide it completely?
2. Something sticks down at the upper left of the screen, I think it must be the chronometer, but if I scroll over nothing happens. How do you activate it?

Tks again.
