There's not much that can be changed on this to make it much better than it already is in my opinion.


Really like this UI, but I use 1024 X768. CAn you make it smaller to fit my screen?
Thanks

Not sure if you can split it up to remove the clear part that fits over the chat window or not. If it's a pain or going to be a problem it's not real important anyway. The original had two small windows there that the only way to make them usable as chat windows was to use the smallest font size of 0 which made it almost unreadable. I think one window was for combat spam and one for tells. So what I did was just make one big window that fit there for the melee spam and tells to main window. Originally I had that window for Guild chat and made a transparant window between the lag meter and the center broach for combat spam. But not being able to click through it made it difficult to click linked items in guild chat. Again, no big deal. I can use it the way it is.

About the buff window, I didn't mean for you to shrink anything, rather the opposite. I would like to see normal size buff icons instead of those tiny ones with the text on the side. I'm a visual person anyway as I can recognize the icon and not need to see the text. Most everyone knows what the icons are anyway if they have played a while and you can hover mouse over each one to see what exactly they are or press the ALT key and reveal the same text. I was thinking how much room could be saved if the buffs and short duration buffs could be combined into the same window if possible. Thats one of the things I don't like about most of the other UI's is the buff windows take up a big chunk of room. I am a semi-minimalist. I like be able to see as much of the game outside of the UI as I can but I like having most of the info available to me on the screen and this UI is practically the only one that I like. I think a tabbed buff window wouldn't be that good of an idea though. Would make it difficult to manage bard songs and AA abilities that pop up in short duration window. If there isn't enough room in the current buff window for larger icons without text I can live with it the way it is with small icons and separate short duration window.

I have my layout very similar to the layout in your picture except I have the potion window in the middle of the bottom panel instead of off to the side and the compass sitting right on top of the spell gems window on the left side of the screen. Fits well there I think. Would have liked to be able to put the compass ontop of the potion window in the middle of the panel but the leaves seems to cover it up too much.

I like it just the way it is and am very pleased to have this UI functional again. I've missed it so much.

I might be able to split the player window into two pieces in a similar way the buff window and top stat bar are. As too the buff window, changing the buffs too just icons I can do without much problem how many icons do you want? Moving the song window to the buff window..I'll see if it's possible if not I can always make a set of icons only to hover somewhere.

I will certainly take a look though, and I'm glad you like it.

Nice work! Thank you for updating this great UI! My ranger is happy now! I have some suggestions though if you want to modify it a little. Some things I have found that I don't like from the original one are the buff window because it takes up too much room. Is there any way you could change it for normal sized icons and remove the text and combine the short duration buff window with it? I use the left panel window for guild chat and the panel piece that covers the window doesn't allow you to click thru or scroll with it. Is there a chance you can make it more accessable like the main chat window? Other than those two things minus the HoTT/Group window which I think you fixed already(?), I have no other complaints yet! Thank you again VERY much for your time updating this UI!

Just a suggestion but maybe you can make that windows a tad smaller cuz it just fills up my viewing place something fierce and i like this layout.
