I do remember an idea for a sort "all-covering-the-desktop" type UI was 
mentioned
during the Kickstarter (in fact I mentioned it 2 or 3 times 
subsequently), but:

1. "modernised": if modernising the UI means making something so one 
cannot get at the desktop while
one is working, forget it!

2. If modernising the UI means making the UI look exactly like the UI of 
Visual Basic et al, forget it!

3. That word "modernise" is semantically slithery.

4. What's wrong with the present UI in &.0 and the slightly tweaked one 
in 8.0?

"I can't find any mention of it in the LiveCode roadmap."

Has this been "quietly dropped" because . . . err . . . it's not really 
needed/wanted
and/or is about 1 million times less important that all the other REALLY 
CLEVER STUFF
that is going into LC 8.0 ?
