Summary0028207: Research Selection feels uninutive
DescriptionThe first two times I trigger research selection using the bottom right widget, I was confused. It felt like the GUI just stop responding. I pressed escape to get out of it. Only later did I realize that it was probably wanting me to select a research from the options in the top left. I feel that having it be a big popup window in the center of the screen would be a better option.

Caveat: It might not have been research causing this. I had no idea what it was and it only came to me later.

Note to self, add a variant that pops up in the lower right when that's where it came from. That is better for on the Deck in general.

Thanks!

* There is a new Research window, which unifies the history of the unlocks and upgrades with the actual act of selecting them.
** This looks visually different from a lot of other windows so that it is easily recognized by context, and it avoids the issues of the old tiny-research-in-the-corner (of being very invisible if you didn't know where to look, and of not allowing you to open it if you did not have anything available to research, and also having the current research very disconnected from the history.
** This also removes three section from the main inventory, which is great, because it makes both screens less overwhelming.

* The prefixes for unlocks of specific sorts now are color-coded by type for easier skimming of your invention history.

* On the new research window, you can now conveniently see how many points of inspiration you have in available research domains, as well as seeing what kind of thing will be unlocked by named technologies at a glance.
