Can we talk about Green UI?

OP, have you even downloaded the UI you keep saying is a better classic option? I have, it’s a fucking mess. It is not in any way a better option.

You are correct, the implementation of Welgrim's is not ideal, but there are others that simply add it's texturing/coloration to the current UI-- but they aren't allowed either.

Because the current UI isn’t classic, even if you gave it a classic color.

In a perfect world, you would have two options: Stone viewport UI and the current Green99 UI and you’d be able to switch between them by pressing F10. That’s how it was when EQ launched. Since the devs can’t yet implement the stone viewport UI, it makes sense to only allow the single classic UI they have available at the moment.

Hopefully in the future you’ll get to use the old stone viewport UI that you so clearly are dying to use. I don’t doubt that it’ll be an option in future.

Honestly I'd be happy enough if they simply converted the transparent elements to match the likes of the spellbook/character creation/bank/trade menu. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the patchnotes/what you guys are saying and that is what is to come?

The transparent windows are straight up classic. They weren't an option that became available later, they were there day one. I played that way since the marble UI took up most of my screen. I don't know why you're calling it the "velious ui" when it was available at launch.

Classic memories are drugs. OP has no idea about the work staff is doing to recreate the classic stone UI or when the UI being used came out. Watch OG Velious release trailers and you will see the UI you are complaining about being used. So not that UN-classic... fucking moron.

Velious release --- fucking moron.

The only two bits of what you said that are worth reading.

I appreciate that you quote that guy who is technically wrong while ignoring the one right above him that states they were there day one of EverQuest. Bravo.

because one guy says it's day 1 classic, most others have said it's velious clsasic and the "closest to true classic titanium will allow"

a low-res screenshot doesn't prove the timeline by which the UI in question came out-- whereas the gentlemoron I was quoting states there are, currently available, Velious release trailers that display the current UI and as such "it's classic".

All I'm saying is that there should be some consistency. If the granite background can exist in the trade/bank/character creation elements, it can be applied to the inventory, chat, hotkeys etc.

Looks like garbage to have one next to the other.

What are you hoping to achieve with all this whining ... besides annoying virtually everyone here with your complete lack of respect or appreciation for everyone's 100% volunteer effort?

I mean do you seriously think Rogean and Nilbog are going to read your posts and say "You know what? FUCK CLASSIC! Let's allow any UI anyone wants, and while we're add it let's add Luclin and allow boxing!" Because that's not going to happen.

Are you thinking that by insulting them you'll convince the (again, 100% volunteers) who made the current Green UI to throw it out, and use Vert or Duxa UI instead? Again, not going to happen.

Besides just bothering everyone with your rudeness, what's your goal here?

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.
