Allow Chat windows on all screens

I find it annoying that when you go into areas of the game interface you loose access to the chat windows.
Examples are: Tailor, Leveling/Respecing, Power Slotting.

What I would like is instead of those areas bringing up a whole new window, it appears as an "underlay" to your UI windows - effectively still showing your Chat, Target, Nav, Team, Power etc sub-windows (are the Target, Power areas needed - not for this discussion no but I guess it will be easier to show all the sub-windows rather than having the new interface only show "Chat" windows.

If the sub-windows cover parts of the interface, then you can either hide them (clickable option) or move them.
The clickable option would work like when in the tailor and designing your powers "Hide Menu" but would be "Hide Chat" or "Hide Windows" or something.

Opinions...

I think Lyrik's idea would ork and is probably easier for the Devs to accomplish. Simply make the Costume Creator a pop up of sorts that can be set aside if someone sends a tell or you are also watching Globals for that next TF you want (what ever). I understand why this has come up. I know all of us have gone in to edit mode only to hear a "ding" and thinking it was something or someone important backed out of the costume creator only to discover it's someone asking if we want to join some team or another. Someone we don't know at all and would much rather finish what we had been doing than tke a chance on a possible decent team. Can get a bit frustrating as we either ignore them completely or send back a polite tell saying no thanks and then head back in to start all over again.

Update OP with Lyriks idea

You dont need a 1680*1050 area to choose your powers.
When in Tailor, give me zoom and move controls. Make the power selection smaller - it doesnt need to take up 1/3 of the screen, with the colour selector another 1/3 and my toons animations appearing behind the colour selector.

Even if the Tailor weindow is Maximised keep the options small giving me more room to view my toon. It HAS to be perfect
