Power of Two UI for Project 1999 is an extensive update of
Maktub's original UI from the EQMac server. It is a minimalist skin with smaller than default buttons and is currently incompatible with other EMU servers.
Green players, only the Velious skin will load until the end of the progression timeline.
Recently, I was inspired and had enough spare time to work on a UI skin for the first time. I've admired the focus on efficiency and consistency of the original PoT skin since my short time playing EQMac. As such, PoT99 only uses Maktub's resized textures with a few minor edits.
Stability is a primary goal for this project, so I fixed all the errors that showed up in UIErrors.txt (save one) and I use it daily. I believe I've had no UI-related crashes.
Favorite features:
The action window defaults to your social macros instead of the mostly useless "main" page.
The social macros are sized and spaced like hot buttons for fewer misclicks.
The combat ability, aka disciplines, window is sized like a standard hot button bar. And the duration gauge shows over top of your mana bar in the player window.
The biggest Follow button.
There are a few
optional files included to accommodate different UI preferences:
Chat - No title for minimalists. Flat/Round title if you often use the minimize & close buttons.
Container - Each container window has a quick slot to swap clickies. Choose either the first or last inventory slot.
Group - Show/Hide F2-F6 key binds next to group HP gauges.
Hot Button - Standard/Extended. Extended adds a panel of ten customizable inventory slots.
Layouts - Two screen layout presets are included for 1080p and lower screen resolutions. The Gap layout has a container-width gap next to the hot button window to swap equipment from a bag.
Merchant - Fixed/Sizable window.
Pet Info - Show/Hide pet command buttons.
Spell Icons - Classic, Luclin, Titanium, and T.King sets are available. Post-classic sets have limited icon variety.
Tracking - Fixed/Sizable window.
Feel free to use any piece of this UI in your own projects.
