Good Minimalistic UI??
 

Greetings all,

After just starting EQ2, I thought I would play around with some of the UI downloads in hopes that they could achieve what I am looking for. That being a very clean, uncluttered interface.

After trying ExtremeUI, I found that it was even worse than the original UI as far as clutter. I know some may like all the additional buttons and giant percentages, however as a non-raider, I have little interest in a lot of the stats/numbers that raiders covet.

Now perhaps, ExtremeUI has some functionality to resize and manipulate its interface to make it a cleaner, less crowded look. However, since the author states in its description that "I tried to cram as much eye candy as I could" into his UI...would not surprise me if this is not the ideal UI for myself.

I guess my question to the wise community here is if there exists a nice clean, minimalistic UI out there, or at least one that lets you tweak it till you have such an interface.? Oh and compatability with EQ2Map would be awsome as well :) If you have any screenies that is always nice as well. Thanks in advance for your info.

I have tried several UI's from contributing authors here. They all offer advantages for different players, as you suggested. However, I have settled on Fetish Nightfall for the same reasons you are posting.

I won't post here all the features and benefits of the UI, but I can tell you that it can be adjusted to a very clean and minimal implementation. In addition, a mini-map feature compliments the EQMAP function.

Just my 2 pennies and you can keep the change. =)

Take a look at the Profit Reborn, its a very nice looking UI with lots of nice usable features, and still not to crowded on the screen..

I used it since day 1 of release and was more than happy when GM9 choose to do a Reborn of it.

You may also want to check out Laff's Lite. I feel it provides all the info you need, without the 'clutter' of ExtremeUI, although there are some similarities as far as layout. I think you might be surprised...
