Plans for a new UI

Tonight I decided instead of just putting pieces together I'd make a whole new one. I'll attach a picture of my plans, and keep updating as I go. Not sure if I can make this though, it'll be pretty hard.

Let me know what you think. The picture itself is 800 x 600 but I'm guessing it's going to be in 1024 x 768 because I don't know if I can get it all in their in 800 x 600. BTW, suggestions would be nice.

I'm thinking of going to a lower resolution myself because I'm running out of ideas for how to use all the space I've freed up. __________________ "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I can try though. Another thing is the chat windows. I can probably get them like that by using /chatfontsize and making the font smaller, but the text for some reason becomes blocky-er. Gonna try though. I have the player/group/stats+exp gauges just about done. I'd have to make it a lot smaller to conserve space though. I actually downloaded someone elses, then modified it, so now I have to modify it again.
