Last Update 02/18/03 - The version on the site here is one revision old, but it still works just fine. The one on my website has the charm slot added (I haven't taken an update SS). I also switched the loc guide to the friends window, and the mini stat window to the pet window.

There are grey, green, red, and blue versions included. There is a pure melee player window, a pet caster player window, and a low level player window. The ReadMe file contains directions for getting the exact look you want.

As always, if you have questions/problems/ or suggestions, post here or contact me.

Any chance you will be posting a patch for the LOY. I really like the format of your ui and want to keep using it.

Elindel

Yup, the version on my web page is updated.

I usually lag a couple days behind in updating it here due to how overloaded the servers can get at patch time. But if a patch breaks the UI there will be something on my web page by that night. I can't handle raiding with the default .

Glad you enjoy it, it's really nice to see people from various servers who use it. Thank You.

New in v2.15b

• Added a ninth slot to the hotkeys on the hotbutton window, and I fixed the issue with bag names overlapping the combine text in some containers.
  
• Player windows have all been redone, they are visible in the screenshot, and all are included in the download.
  
• UI is still available in blue, red, green or the standard grey. Each color has the files in a seperate folder. If you use grey be sure to delete the windowspieces_03 and 04 .tga files. Default load is green.

Is it possible to put an invite/disband button on the group box? Hard to tell if you are group leader at times when you miss the message. Got the update btw and works great. Also got some others in my guild interested in it. Keep up the good work.

Elindel

I took those buttons out since I'm just so used to using CNTRL I and CNTRL D. I probably won't add them back to the normal download (I can't say never, since I said I'd never put in the spell book button, but that will be back in the next release ).

But I'd be happy to do a custom one for you. Do you want the new LFG buttons in there as well? I'll work on it tonight.

As for what is coming next with the UI, probably nothing too big. I've been going through and adjusting the height and width of a few windows so that they line up better.

For instance in my working copy at home the buff window is as wide as the target and players windows, so you could stack them all, and the spell cast window is as tall as the hotbuttons window, which is as tall as the group, player, and target windows stacked. Things like that.

I prefer to have my spell casting gems a little larger since this is an area where I am using a lot. Also I am no spring chicken and I hit the wrong gem from time to time, especially when you are tanking a mob hitting you for 900hp a whack.
I have been learning to use my ctrl I/D buttons but what would be useful is to have some way to identify who the leader of the group is. In past ui's with an invite button, if I targeted someone and I was the leader, the button would change color. Any way to change the leader's name color or something to indicate this?
Keep up the good work.

Version 3.01 is now available, fully LDoN compatible, and is awaiting moderation here at the site.

New in v3.01:

• The biggest change in version 3 was the color changing boxes. They change from green to yellow to red to flashing red and make it much easier to see where a group member's health is.
  
• Restructured some code to make it more patch resistant, and made sure it was fully compatible with LDoN.
  
• New buttons for the MP3 player. The old Winamp ones weren't very "eqish" so I made them to match normal EQ buttons.
  
• Removed the loc guide since the LoY map feature has replaced the need for it.

Elindel

I want to thank people for all the feedback, it really helps give me direction for improving the UI.

New in version 3.2:

• I received alot of feedback from people that they wanted the ability to have a pet window. Instead of moving the stat window to another window like the friends window, I integrated it into the Actions Window since the Invite, Disband etc buttons take up more space than they need to.
  
• Designed a pet window that features a color changing percentage like the other windows, and doesn't take up much vertical screen space. You can see up to 16 buffs on your pet.
  
• Further reduced the size of the MP3 player and made it the same height as the pet window.
  
• The link all button is now in the loot window but doesn't take up any additional space. It's very similar to the combine button. Any time it is yellow it is active.
  
• Since Sony added numbers the the backgrounds of the hotbuttons a couple patches back, the numbers in the corners weren't needed. Removed the number and added Sony's backgrounds. This means you if you use one of the alternate colors you'll be copying more files over.

I hope you update soon after the upcoming melee patch that is supposed to happen on December 14th. Also with you UI my spell bar, spell book, and petwindow don't look like your screenshots. Guess I over right some of your code. I could resize the pet window left to right but not top to bottom. Also I cannot move the ranger track window. I have the most recent download from the website

bamog

I would like to change the player windows that you show from the normal to the melee but i cant find the anything that tells me what i have to do to change it.

Alasse

I just d/l your skin, I need a horazontal buff bar, yours said it can be done I just cant do it. can you help me?

nahsalot

Great UI, only two questions: where can I download the alternate pieces on your web site or how do I install them if they came with the original package.

Can I remove the green tint in all the windows?

Great work, keep it up.

stosoned
