Make it with the regular grey outlines, but have the chatwindows with black backgrounds.. I'll list it out. I guess it'd be kind of personal , but hey maybe some others would like it.


1) Use Standard grey package as base.

2) Make chat windows have black background instead of Grey.

3) Enlarge the Quest Journal Window by 50% , or somewhat, to all for 1152x864 (I think thats it), resolution. Currently the quest journal that is for 1024x768 is a bit small and hard to read in my higher resolution.

4) Have a "mod" option to make a full screen experience bar (already done by someone else), BUT with the Decimal numbers to the side like you currently have. So basically you could just take the others bar Which is handily here: ---| http://www.eq2interface.com/download...fo.php?id=3301
and add the Decimal numbers. Of course adding this the the "mods" folder for people to pick it if they wish.


5) Make all the Progess bar (meters) IE: Player Health/Power, Mob Health/power etc.. have Black backgrounds instead of darker shades of the colors in the bars. I would love this, as it would help distinguish power from a peripherial view.

6) I have noticed that if I press escape one more time after I close my bags it starts closing hotbars =/ .. It didn't do this with the default UI. I would be perfectly happy, if it's not possible to make it like it was in the default to have the ESC funtion not close windows at all. Since I use one key to toggle bags anyway. So this function incorporated would be nice. Any ideas?



Thats all I have for now, seems fairly simple to me, IE: it shouldn't take too long.

If you, kind sir, don't have the time I totally understand. I just thought I would ask.. as I really love the look of tablets, and want to keep it all concurrent from window to window.

As now, to compensate, I have tablets, then mixed and matched other pieces such as new Player info bars, Target bars, Chat windows, etc. And it doesn't look nearly as "pretty" as the Full Tablets UI looked.
I can do all this in mods.. So anyone could be able to use them.. When I get the time though, I already have a list going here

Couple questions:
On 2. Just chat windows should have the black back ground?
On 3. You should be able to resize it in game.. Or are you talking about the font?

On 5. How bout a dark grey background for the gauges.. I think I'm gonna darken the colored gauge backgrounds some more..

On number 6. Is that Agathorn's Hotkey mod?.. I think it's because he added a Titlebar to it.. I haven't found a way to block escape in a window without blocking it in other windows..Or taking away some other default feature..

If you use the ones that came with the UI.. They do have ArrowBanks and labels but they don't close on esc..

I have a couple Ideas for the hotkeys but my time has become more limited again.. I will revisit it again soon.
