Integrated UI - Lords of EverQuest - Dark Version
www.shakahr.com <- Disigners webpage
http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fi ... hp?id=2786 <-eqinterface link

Would love information displayed like

Time remaining on spells (I use the spell bar at the top of my screen)
Time till FOM (like http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8619)
hp and mana regen rates
Distance(X-Y plane), speed, level, class, and direction to current target

anything else you can think of :)

Like this ui for its clean open window look.I use the standard window placing included in the zip file

VMA is a nice UI based on Vert. Im using the version pretty much straight from the download, but if you see some MQ Data to add that could be cool )

UI for modding...

I personally would like to see the Emil 7 UI modded for MQ... love how compact the UI is. Here's the link. Would like to have target info and group info added.

The hell you say! :lol:

Actually, Quartz was the best UI built for 1600x1200 at the time I started using it (like way back when they switched to XML). I've tried switching since then, but I just never feel comfortable with any other UIs I try. SOE was close for a while, but I always felt like I was cheating on my old UI, so I switched back :(

VMA > Quarts.

Check it out and see what you think. ) Link is up towards the top, 1600 X 1200 comes out quite nicely.

I put 3 chat windows across the bottom next to the Spells, hotbox, and player/group/target. Spam window up top next to the MQ box, both faded of course. Importantly for me, the author is doing a good job of maintaining it atm as well. OOW Buff and Spell Windows were out a few days after OOW. Augment window was out like the day after sony broke that.

If you dont like it you can always /loadskin GimpyQuartzCrap again :P

What I'd really like to see is the default UI with some added MQ2 stuff.

Can't say I like it. With Quartz everything is nice and compact and fills up like 25% of my screen with the basics open. I like it that way so I can use /viewport to just black out the bottom 1/4 of my screen and turn the opacity of my 4 chat windows to 0.

The SS of VMA looks was too cluttered for my liking. I'm sure with a little shuffling around of windows I could make it tolerable, but Quartz just seems to flow better than the building block/lego feel I get when I look at Vert style UIs. The closest I've come to switching is Drakah and some of the variations of it, but even they never really did anything for me.

Mix and Max custom huds with MQ2 Labels and MQ2Hud is the way to go :smile:
