agreed, looks like was made by an 8yr old.

in this case retro isnt always best.

needs to be polished up to have a more `baldurs gate` look to it. then i might be half way decent.

Remember that Velious also had its own UI, one that could work with modern screen resolutions. Its main deficiency relative to the Titanium interface was the continued use of a single chat window with only minimal support for a separate combat chatbox. Most players weren't using that 1990's-era periscope UI anymore by 2001.

Using wide-screen resolutions on the Titanium client tends to reduce viewable screen space because of how the game engine changes its display with different aspect ratios. As such the widescreen version of the original UI posted above is actually worse than the original UI, which was bad enough. Stretching the screen rather than altering the viewable real estate preserves view space but causes unwanted distortion.
