Yea, having a "classic feeling recreation" isn't 100% classic...BUT it is a LOT closer to the CLASSIC FEELING than these black boxes.
THIS is classic UI..... what people remember of EQ....not a cold black box found in some obscure 2ndary mode.....but classic late 90's roleplaying design that tried to draw the player in with a more comforting design.
Even if the "true classic UI" isn't possible....AT LEAST give something SOMEWHAT along those lines. Capture the feeling...not just shrug and go "well, not possible, so let's go for this 2ndary mode that looks ugly"
It's absolutely killing the feel of a classic EQ experience.

Yeah seems funny to me that they are expending effort implementing the current iteration that most people don't care that much for when they could simply add texturing to the background of the UI elements to at least give them a similar look.
Again, the bank, trade, spellbook, char creation all are wonderful-- Now if they'd replicate that for the remainder of the elements, rather than focusing on "f10 classic" I think there are very few who would have any cause for complaint. The textured buttons on the sleek transparent background look silly. The textured windows mentioned above next to the untextured inventory etc; look like ass.
the titanium-era ui is preferable to this mish mash of "classic transparent" that is currently in use.
