Playing with the UI
 

I've been playing around with the UI trying to get a feel for what is the most classic/authentic looking right now, and no matter what I've done so far, something has felt missing no matter what downloads I've used and which UI I've had active.. I realize now what the problem is.

The text area is a see through box, or a solid color box. So tell me, is there any way to have the user interface with the chat box looking like a piece of parchment paper, much like the picture from Mul's signature about "not being a kleat." Having the parchment would be the cherry on top of this experience. Anyone have a patch, some info or a giant god button that could get a hapless newb like me some chat parchment.

right click the chat bar. Window > Background > texture (on or off). It will add a layer of texture instead of just a plain colored box. You can also tint it different colors with the texture on. Id say use a bright color with the textures on cuz they darken the color you chose.

And I think EQinterface.com has some skins you could find, but whether or not individual peices will work on emu, I dunno. I did, however, use the t. king necro skin cuz skulls are win.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into those skins. For now my chat box looks like dark marble, which suits me just fine.

I was searching around for the original UI as well and I found it on EQInterface.com. I tested it and it works well. Just follow the creator's instructions for installation.
