    i've used this .ini file **** in actual gaming now, and i'm officially using nothing but from now on. i've got nothing in particular against the new UI, it looks pretty nice actually, but it just takes up too much screen real estate even if scaled down; the old one is more manageable.

    i hope the classic UI will continue to be supported going forward, because it's too much to hope that the new one will be redesigned to be slimmer i should think.

    Change takes about 5 seconds to make and is wonderful. I had nothing against the UI but couldnt stand being unable to click genie skills. If a work around is introduced in a future patch to fix that Ill happily go back to the new UI. Broken UI, though, is just broken.

    Here's a SS after the change. You can see the small amount of "crammed" text at the bottom of the chat window that would normally tell you which button is which.

    PW-CN has a button to switch the interface, don't know why it's removed in PWI...

    anyway the old interface is still maintained (because it is available in PW-CN) and shouldn't cause errors

    I read up to point where the gm responded saying it was okay while I was at school. I went ahead to modify it when I got home and posted. So yes, I did read, the page just wasn't refreshed before I posted.

    Care to move and modify posts from the other thread to this one? By the other thread I mean the one that was made by Infernia yesterday as a response to deleting of this one.

    Thanks.

    Well to be honest I kinda like the new UI.

    However, I do NOT like the new (!) icons. When flying I can;t friggin see them, they should be a Darker more obvious color, not this skyblue color, its very hard 2 see.

    Like that stupid dark blue whisper..ugh, horrible color choice.

    But apart from the colors, the shapes and stuff take a little getting used 2, but I like the overal design.

    Hey guys, this is an interesting situation, and I'll need to talk to Xarfox and the leader of the GMs before we can say for sure whether or not we'd allow this modification.

    I'll post in here again within a couple of hours.

    Thanks.

    Wait.....

    If frankie and Xarfox aren't the leader of GM's, who is? b:questionb:avoid

    i'll have to try this. the new UI is growing on me (some exceptions, like the squad and fac interfaces, and the annoying genie glitch), but i miss the screen space i once had.

    Interesting...see the new button in the bottom left at the character screen?

    This brings it back to the new ui, but from there it seems you have to restart the game to get back to this ui. Maybe its just intended for an upcoming patch?

    New interface blows... its like a winamp skin except that i cant effing change it ><

    /yetanotherdeveloperfail


    edit: wups lool... should read more before posting.. i CAN change it.. woot :P

    /yetanotherdoggyfailthatinnowaychangesthefacthatthedevsfailregularlylol

    edit2: I got no beef with you GM's, its not your fault the company is too cheap and doesnt hire enough of you...

    I would say the same thing about the Dev's if they just fixed the gottdamn rubberbanding and nerfed the frikken sin... (anyone who tries to tell me this class didnt break the game can just s.t.f.u and g.t.f.o., you lost the game already, go uninstall)

    1: I agree this needs to be majorly fixed. and I really hope they do it.

    2: Sins only break later on, I am havign a difficult time with my lvl 62 sin right now. this being used for farming purposes because it has a low upkeep cost with bloodpaint. if you're having that many problems with sins you need to learn more about them. Also, I had a level 60-somehting mystic destroyed my sin. so which is worse?

    And you're 96, I am willing to bet I could beat you with this character. and the wizard I need to work on would thrash you at level.

    I duel enough barbs on my sin to know that barbs are only in trouble if they don't focus on what makes them great. Your physical defense is our strongpoint, take the hits and bleed them, lower the defense, and you'll see things change. yoiu see them charging the seal, you spark, it's not that difficult

    Omg I'm so glad I found this thread, personally I think the UI has only gotten worse with time. I'll have to try this out soon b:thanks

    Wondering why, like I asked when it changed the first time, a switch can't be put in? Now I know the option existed the whole time... b:angry

    Big ups to Infernia, saw the link to this thread in your sig b:victory

    Gnarly, wouldnt want no necromancy on my thread, for she is honest and pure of intent.

    question, how do you switch back to the new interface? it doesn't seem to go back to it for me when set to 1, am i missing something?
    the only reason i think i wanted to go back to the old one was i lost track of people on the radar with the newer interface,(green dots hid behind buttons on edges)but im so used to the new one now i decided to stick to it, and now it wont let me switch back b:surrender

    Also, ingame you should have a button on the char select screen that says "Interface" or something. Click it and itl revert without having to restart.

    in the ui window at the bottom should have an option to tick emerald then just accept and will change it
    hope it helps
