Well, I tested my first attempt last night!

Mostly I just changed the look of things others had done, so y'all did the hard part. But it's a start!! What do y'all think?

The graphics for the group window (I'm sad to get rid of Arcane, but I needed the space) are mine. I mod'd the Arcane mod to change the image but keep the stats and effects portion that were previously done).

Then I totally redid the exp bar. My only problem is the vitality doesn't show up anywhere in any way, shape, or form, but for my play style that doesn't matter -- I've never gotten below 85% vitality anyway. I'm still having trouble getting the exp percents to line up properly. Going to tweak that tonight. I also want to make the zone font a little larger.

The casting bar was the first one I played with. I need to get the text to center.

For the compass, I created the frame then used someone else's mod to the letters (Fetish? I had to find it out of a compiled set someone else had put together...). Then I threw on the time and location. Now I need to tweak it to work with the new fonts (sigh, why didn't those update in the UI builder?)

Now I'm working on changing all the game default colors to be in that silvery-blue, and I'm debating about putting a frame around the player stat window (someone else's mod) and about resizing the effects (left) and spells (below exp) to be a little smaller.

I was wondering, can I create my own windows, for example to create a movable and sizable mini-stats window? I've seen where some people (like Insom) have created new windows but they haven't been movable and such. Has that ever been figured out?

Thanks!

I like what you've done so far. If you could replace all the default gold frames and decoration with a silvery blue color, I'd definately use at least that part! There is a distinct lack of color skins for the EQ 2 UI, it's a bummer.

Very nice frames and love what you've done with the casting and exp bar frames.

If you need an example of percentages and such, strip my EXP bar apart.
Another originally made it, it caught my eye, then I completely revamped and cleaned it up.

After all "parts is parts".

My UI is the ThorUI located here...

Hope this helps, and once again; awesome job don't get discouraged for any reason, you do great work.

Thanks y'all!

I'm going to have to re-do everything, though.

I became a victim of the "stupidity" bug. My computer hard drive totally crashed, no data recoverable, and I hadn't backed up my UI stuff. Except the graphics. Sigh.

I'll have another go at it, though!

Doh! Well hope you don't get discouraged and hop back into the design! Can't wait to see what you come up with this time

Wow, I hope that you stick with it and release a full UI with those graphics. I really like that look. We need more interfaces that change the graphic design of the interface.

Aww, thanks y'all.

I'm jumping back into it, never fear!
