Kunark UI

[adichi]

Are we going to be able to switch UIs or at the very least use the Kunark UI any time soon since we're now out of classic?

I was under the impression we are using the Velious UI...which means we actually have more functionality than we should.

My memory of the UI was a giant peripheral opaque border. Big class specific graphic on the right. Inventory, spellbar, group, etc all fixed and always open. At 800x600 resolution, this left a tiny window of the 3D game. No alt-tab was possible if I recall, and no windowed mode. No exit button either. You had to know to push camp to get out

The current UI is way more convenient

did kunark not have a different UI from the classic one? could've sworn there was

Here, I'll link my own post with respect to the UI issue:

Long story short, the project 1999 admins decided to use the UI that works best on modern hardware. The one we have is still a classic-era UI, just not the one the majority of users used most the time. The "periscope" UI comes with a lot of headaches.

I believe the story is the original classic UI isn't able to be put in because of something with the titanium client.

My memory of the UI was a giant peripheral opaque border.

This UI existed, but it was also possible to toggle to a different UI mode (via one of the F keys?) that looks very similar to the current UI on green. Transparent UI elements with black borders. This was at launch.

We're using a Velious + Classic Hybrid UI.

It's so unlikely that I'll say no. We won't be changing UI's for kunark on Green 2019
