I have no idea why he brought that subject on :

But this suggest that there's a major rewrite of the whole game UI planned at some stage.

Or maybe implementing a fixed UI that doesn't explode when you LR? Or tr?

Or maybe an "import UI" function so you can roll up a new toon and have the same UI if you choose?

This & I hope to see a scalable UI as well.  One thing I miss is that EQ had a function called /viewport which allowed you to change the rendered size of the screen.  Essentially adding a black border to your specifications that you could scale and keep your UI elements off the page and not infringe upon your view of the game.

Omg this.  Plz. 

stainer taught me a neat trick last night while playing on m laptop.  If you keep your DDO client in Windows mode, it resizes and I don't have to scrunch bars on top of each other while I'm playing!  Haaaay!  These are some of the perks of playing DDO in the same room with stainer.  Also see: teaming up with his wife to gang up on him.

This would make me a happy halfling.

I hate playing in windowed mode so Gawna/Stainer's answer won't work for me.

LotR:O has *exactly that* and it's very well loved.
You smack Ctrl + \ and it shows you what all the windows are, even the invisible ones. You drag them around to your heart's content, then hit the key combo again and your HUD elements CANNOT BE MOVED.

Of course, they don't have the "lock hotbar" that we do in DDO, but you'd think someone would go "That's a great idea! We should write it for DDO!" and then do so. Who knows, maybe they will. I, for one, miss being able to have certain windows pop up in the same place at all times and not having to drag them around every single time.

You can also export and import *most* hotbar/window settings. For some reason you can't do so with ALL of them, but it's better than nothing.

I hid the toolbar and then just resized the client to take up the whole scren, so it didn't even feel like Windows mode.

Alt tab when I need to move the the other character.

I stopped reading there.  TMI.  Really don't want to hear about you re-sizing or hiding his toolbar.
