New Skins

[3.9] Rune page improvements on PBE
Here is Damiya with the details:

"In the next PBE patch, we’re making a few quality-of-life improvements to the way runes work. Most of the changes are subtle, and you might not notice them unless you’re looking for them, but they should make things a bit more responsive the next time you’re setting up a rune build.

Here’s a rundown of the changes:

• If you filter out all the runes of a specific type (marks, seals, glyphs, or quintessences), the name of that category now turns grey to indicate it’s empty
• Reverting the changes in the runebook no longer changes which page you’re editing
• When browsing your rune inventory, you can now open more than one rune type at a time
• When you’re right clicking or double clicking to rapidly add runes you don’t have to wait for the animation to finish playing
• We’ve shifted the rune slots slightly to reduce certain gaps
• The scrollbars on your rune inventory and stats pane should be more responsive and easier to click
• The dividers between effects in the stats pane now scale down when the scrollbar appears
• Dragging a rune into place no longer highlights slots near the drop target
• Rune combiner animations are simpler
• Rune combiner filters are now more consistent with rune page filters

The next time you hit the PBE, try fiddling with your runebook for a bit. We’d love to hear your feedback on the improvements, along with any bugs you uncover while testing."
