I have always loved your work, though with the extreem hard issues of UI use in EQ2 =( they made it hard to be switching between UI's like in EQ1. but I welcome your art back as I have always loved it and always will. You are a Master at your art and though I use Laff's UI I do mod it slightly so a few suggestions that may have been stated:
1) make interface pieces independant of the UI please (some have code that is just for the one UI)
2) I play in 1600 by 1200 so please if you make a full UI make it fit that res as well as others. (I'm sure some others do play in that res)
3) any complete UI you make please make it as slim as possible and still have your GREAT artwork =) (I do love a large view as i'm playing
4) no matter what you hear please by all means take your time but also realize that EQ2 changes UI pieces very often, usually in many pieces during a Live Update.
5) not a request by a big Thank You and Welcome back to EQ UI design. I am glad you're back!
I hope these aren't too much to ask for =) and if you need help formatting to a 1600 by 1200 screen let me know I'll get a set up ini for ya
but i can't edit xml or skin a ui so all i can do is position the windows in the way you want and send the ini file.
