Introduction

If you are looking for a nice simple UI that is completely modular, then this is the one. This is a minimalistic UI, made for either smaller screens, lower resolutions or larger lcd's. Perfect to see more of your game then the ui.

This has been an ongoing project since mid-beta, to provide a simple, clean interface for
those that prefer the minimal Interface. Many people have contributed to this project. See "Credits"
below for those that have made this possible.

There are two versions of this UI. One has InfoMap (Darker2.0) and the other does not (Darker2.0b).
__________________________________________________

What this Custom UI does

Removed the dependency for most ajoining windows. More separate windows to move where you want them.
a) Separate Player stats from the Defensive Target for easy layout of your choice.
Changes default size of all bags, inventory, banks and more.
Added resizable mini map for the non-InfoMap Darker2.0 version.
Changed the default font size for pop up / mouseover windows. (For what the server will allow)
Adds in the drop in box for the Market Exchange Broker.
Removes the "extras" from the ui such as added graphics in the player stat window, group
window and offensive window.
Adds in the option for a horizontal group window.
Consists of 6 horizontal Hotbars and 2 vertical.
Adds in the HUD interface to choose your options you would like to have displayed in game.
ie: Combat, Stats, clock and more!
Adds in a Healer Helper hotbar for heal and buffs abilities.
Smaller and more abilities on each page.
Quest window adjusted to fit more quests in visible line.
Quest listings include Level and sphere
Ability to organize your quests by Level and Sphere.
Display of 36 parlay cards per page.
Smaller Parlay table
Updated XML to current for Vanguard.

Awesome, very nice.

[Sarrene]

A few things I do need to do though, that betwen myself and Customm, we found a few things I had forgotten.

And thanks to some of the feed back I also forgot to change the settings in two windows.

So here is what I have to do yet, and I should (I hope) have them uploaded later on today.

1) Resize the housing vaults/chests to fit the rest of the style.
2) Enlarge the window for the dot/con (Thanks to Custom for that one) since it is cutting off the 6th dot.
3) Edit the lag meter and offensive target so they do not come back on when you log out, if you choose to not have them displayed. (Thanks to tamartarken for noticing this one for me.)
4) anything else I missed?

Peace,
♥ Sarrene'

Okay, new updates are uploaded for both versions.

I had missed some things and have most of them fixed. If there is anything else I missed, please feel free to post here and let me know!

1) Resize the housing vaults/chests to fit the rest of the style. DONE
2) Enlarge the window for the dot/con (Thanks to Custom for that one) since it is cutting off the 6th dot. DONE
3) Edit the lag meter and offensive target so they do not come back on when you log out, if you choose to not have them displayed. (Thanks to tamartarken for noticing this one for me.)- Still needs some work. being problematic for me.
4) Assembly Timer. DONE

Love this UI however I dont seem to have an OT box/info even with selecting Yes in the adv set up.. any help?

[Customprofile]

AWESOME Job!!!



Just a few things, the minimap nor the big map work in the version without the infomap.
Also the browser does not have the R in the top left corner for refreshing the page.
And there is a Counter Spell Window that I can not get rid of(top left of my screen shot). I see it in Layout Mode.

[Sarrene]

Excedrin:
I have a copy of a layout file posted several times in this thread, as well as a how to in the readme and on the description about how to get the offensive target back up. It is not that it is gone. What seems to be happening is that for some people it has gone "off" the screen. I am going to change the default posistion in this next batch of fixes. So hopefully when someone loads this ui from using another, they will have their offensive target in the middle. If you update the UI to todays, I did include the test.xt file. Just drop that into your Bin folder and in game type in /uiload test. That will load a test layout, and then you can move everything to how you like it.

Custom:
Thanks for letting me know.. I knew I was forgetting something! I forgot to include the extra file for turning on/off the counter spell window in the settings.

Okay, lets see..

1) Counter Spell→ Check
2) Refresh Button on Browser→ Check
3) Maps→ Working on those now!
4) Lag meter not saving "off" when relogging→ Still working on that one

I should have those fixed and ready to go by end of tonight. I am really sorry about the mess up on the maps though. Forgive me?

Peace,
♥ Sarrene'

[Sarrene]

Okay, the forgetful mistakes have been fixed... Everything is working well and seems to be in good order

Here is what I have done:
1) Counter Spell→ Check
2) Refresh Button on Browser→ Check
3) Maps on 2.0b→ Check
4) Lag meter not saving "off" when relogging→ Still working on that one

I sure could use some help, perhaps an extra pair of eyes to see what I am missing in the xml for the lag meter not staying off, as well as for the counter spell. luckily it seems that unless you are a caster and have counter spells yourself it does not display. However you can see it in the layout mode.

Any volunteers like to give me a hand.. or some extra eyes?

What I am going to try to do in the next week or so..
1) Finish up on the Extra Bag window
2) Make some minor changes to the Guild Social (more information visible)
3) any other ideas?

Peace,
♥ Sarrene'

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I did find the test file have been using it to reload when I log in (found it after I posted, sorry for not checking first). A bit of a PITA, but I really like the ui so I'm putting up with that small inconvenience


Even so, the ui is not saving with the offensive target window where I place it. I have to uiload test every time I log in, place in layout mode, and then uiload from your about tab.

Kinda frustrating.

I can't wait for the new stuff, if you need some help I could lend a few eyes to it.

Thanks again
