New Battle.net background. Seems homely and reminiscent of the old background

The pixelation issues in windowed fullscreen were also fixed for me. The game looks like classic BW or 1.18 fullscreen.

Now just move the channel/friends list a little to the right, center the chat box, and move the join / create / channel buttons to the left side

Couldn't find this in the notes, but it looks like you can move slots (in the same group) in the pre-game lobby again! Time to go splurge on some UMS!

There's a new graphics option called "Bilinear Filtering"

I'm not sure if it was there before. I think it wasn't. Default is for it to be turned on, and the game looks like old BW that way. Turning it off makes the game look pixelated in Windowed Fullscreen like in the last version of 1.18.
