new UI upcoming ... CustomUI by Slyde

a new UI seems to be upcoming, Bruzik provided me with this link:

CustomUI by Slyde

looks promising, gonna wait to implement myself after the move I guess

Great idea but a cautionary note t... this has post patch problems written all over it, most of the time when there has been a patch my ui has either had glitches or needed updating and in some cases I have had to restart.
What this is doing is taking all those ui's and all those potential post patch problems .. which means your ui maybe awaiting not one ui autor to repair it but several.

Hope it works though.

Don't wanna be a besserwisser but ....

Q: Is CustomUI a new UI?

A: CustomUI is not a new user interface. It is a tool that allows you to build your own UI from a collection of components that have been created by other UI designers. The program comes with the files from the latest versions of several popular UIs (Core, Drox, etc...). Some files have been slightly modified to work in a 'mixed' environment, but visually each component should appear exactly as it does with its original UI.

But I agree, it seems like a good idea... although I am truly happy with CoreUI.

This is a UI i used awhile back at game update 4 and i had darker, coreui, darksteel and drox and when a new patch came out all 4 needed an update as well. Although it was a cool screen i had it was a pain to wait for all the UI's to update because they all were made by different creators. I just use coreui , when the new rift came out at SOD i got tired of waiting. Plus I think the waiting list is shorter for coreui usually the next day or so.

Heya, I am using this one now. Its not nessecarily perfect but I dont like to be tied down to the choices of one ui package. My experience is that the basic setup is easily updatetable by just downloading the latest updates of the respective packages, however you are ofcourse as mentioned dependant upon the packages to be updated.

Now I donot know very much of how updates here work in relation to the ui but since very little is added to the ui in general (apart from fishing and appearance slots, maybe also enhancement slots?) I think that even if out of date it shouldnt be too much of a prob, but thats just a wild guess.

If however you run into problems then switching to another ui part (of a ui that is updated) or going to the default part is as easy as opening the program (can be done while in game) selecting the part you want, save your changes and ingame type /reloadui. Some things will require restarting the game, but not much. This is also a handy feature to test out different things.
