Alright, here's a more detailed explanation:

Original EQ had an F10 option to change the display from the "stone UI" we all know and love to a fullscreen with some translucent rendered UI elements. It had only limited functionality but it was there. With the launch of the velious expansion, that F10 mode was greatly expanded in its capabilities to be more usable fulltime, although it still reverted to the "stone" UI for a number of windows. This is why we're calling it the "Velious UI", even though some of its elements were present in the game from day 1.

Great explanation, I added it (in slightly tweaked form to fit the page) to: http://wiki.project1999.com/Green_UI

Also rather than rehash this whole conversation with every new poster who says "the UI isn't classic", I strongly encourage everyone to just refer said poster to that wiki page. And if you don't think that page answers everything ... improve it: it's a wiki! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
