[Live] 8.18.10 (GU57) - Interface Changes

***Dolby*** · #1 08-18-2010, 01:13 PM

The following is a compare between the old default interface (8.16.10) and the new default interface patched today (8.18.10) on the right with changes in red. Use the context & line numbers to help find your way to make the changes needed to your custom interface.

UI Notes:

The Default UI now ships with two color options; red and blue. Use the /loadui command to change color schemes.
A clock and compass have been integrated into the mini-map window (the old compass and clock UI elements were not removed and can be opened using Alt-N and Alt-C respectively).
At the bottom of the screen you will now find the Nav bar, which replaces the old experience bar and includes the EQII button and shortcuts to various UI windows (you can right-click minimize/maximize the NAV bar to hide the various shortcut keys, except for the SC and EQII buttons).
New tutorial windows have been created to help ease new players into the game.
The Marketplace window has been upgraded for easier browsing. An item preview pane has also been added.
The Welcome window layout has been reorganized to make it easier to read.
The Inventory and Persona windows were merged to create the Character window (the shortcut key for this new window is C).
Z is now the default for crouch.
The casting, breath and PvP immunity bars have been updated with a new look.
The hotbar has been reworked and is now easier to manipulate.
If a new spell is a newer version of an old spell on your hotbar it will replace the older version rather than adding a new button on your hotbar.
Spell effects that are not able to crit will say “This effect cannot be critically applied” in the spell description.
You can now freely move any UI window when viewing them in F10 mode.
You can now disable the confirmation when spending AA points under Options -> UI -> Game Features.
