To be clear, what I saw last week was a panel with a menu bar on the left and no drop-downs.
The Low-Fi version does not make use of menu icons or transition effects, so it should be possible to at least see the icons disappearing when switching from Hi-Fi to Low-fi.

If you are using any version of Internet Explorer, the Hi-Fi version will lack the quick navigation bar at the bottom of the page; however, you should see menu icons and subtle transition effects when you mouse over top menu items.

While we do not have a set timeframe for this feature's inclusion, I have spoken with our developers and I expect that we will support different control center skins in the future (including a revised edition of the skin which you mentioned).

Simple fix - Pending Renewal packages will now display all the same options which active packages display.

Furthermore, even if it succeeded, it wouldn't be a "web console", but would instead be a normal connection.
The "Web Console" option has been renamed "Java Console".

If the applet prompted you for authentication information, it would indicate that the issue is most likely a matter of connectivity for the applet. If your VPS is not listening for SSH connections on port 22 or your local network is configured to block port 22, the applet may time out or silently fail after prompting for authentication - is it possible either of these conditions may apply?

. . .

5) The Remote Console link does the same thing as remote access -- nothing.
The variables intended to store package remote access URL's appear to be empty (OpenVZ) or malformed (Xen). Our developers are looking at this issue now and I expect a fix today.
