GEOS1 begins with Velious
 

sneak peak at the first finished window... this was made completely moveable just like the regular bordered windows...

... am I missing something? What's special about it?

you'll see

OK, I'll bite... :)

i remember this. pre-EQUI you could hit f10 (or something like that cant remeber) and it wuld go to just coloed boxes with next to no graphics. looks good so far!:cool:

Stage 1 of Alpha is complete, here is a small example.

Taleisin The Seer (Creator of the GEOS UI) has told me to announce that GEOS will be beta tested internally only, he hasn't given me a reason yet but it's his UI.

Alpha is flying by, here is a pic of stage 3, completed this morning..

ok I talked Taleisin into having a public beta, will be moving to the beta thread shortly

???
 

what makes this ui new looks like you just put a new skin on the old ui?

we had just gotten the code finished when Taleisin pulled the plug, I got almost a gig of new textures and gauge transitions sitting on my drive, yes it does look like FU6 but that was only the template we used, it was the hope one day to have GEOS written clean and completed patch proof but now we will never really know... I have not liked it from the begining, and I am far to busy killing time in horizons beta to keep working on it alone, so untill FU7 I wont be posting any new UIs, or finishing this one.

From the looks of some past threads finishing a UI doesn't happen often.

What are you doing to the UI that is more than a background texture and a new bar format?

The goals of FU as well as GEOS was to make a UI useing the least code possible and make the UI use the least room possible, plus most of the version changes are for internal reasons, if you want to look at actual code changes, than reallu FU6 is FU4...

FU was just supposed to be a easy to mod clean and fast UI.

GEOS was going to clone the basic design of the Velious UI but with major graphic overhals..

FU7 is going to be the first UI for EQ2, FU7 is just the current name for it, launch name will be something alone the lines of (Inzidious) which is also the name of my RedHat GUI mod.

as for finishing UIs, I haven't been up for writing new UIs since I launched FU1 (through the eyes of FU) back in 2002.
