Can we rethink the no custom UI

I'm all for limiting the functionality of the UI to what it was at launch. I'm ok with only one hotbutton window, no pet window etc.

But, removing custom UI's is a mistake in my opinion. I'm playing on a monitor that's 4x the resolution of what I was using when the game launched, and i'm having a hard time reading the text in some windows. (my eyes are 20 years older than they were when i first played)

I remember having pages of social's specific to certain situations (soloing, grouping, corpse run etc). This was necessary because we only had one hot button window. Now, the action window is so small, it's very difficult to use.

Is it not possible to lock the functionality of the interface but still allow us to customize the windows available to us?

Is allowing a player a custom UI going to give them a great advantage over other players, or hurt other players enjoyment of the game?

you can use /chatfontsize 1-5 to adjust text in windows as needed to help with at least one of your problems.

That works for chat windows, but you can't do that on the hotbar window, action window etc

Be hardcore. Get a second hand crappy monitor with low resolution. Thanks for the idea, now I must do this.

bad UI is ok. I definitely hate the fact that you can't slide the slider to full opacity without changing each window to a custom color.

But its ok

Fully agree. We should have the option to edit the appearance without changing any functionality.

I want my 1 action bar in a line instead of a rectangle, and I want my spell bar horizontal. I want to edit the size of the windows so I can actually see them.

Forced UI isn't classic so that argument is invalid imo.

I don't have an opinion on the forced UI issue. I simply just worked on improving what was being forced upon people.

What do you mean Forced UI wasn't classic lol.

You had:
A) Full Stone UI
B) F10 Partila UI
C) No UI

Are these the non-forced UI you are talking about lol?

I'm just saying there were 2 options back then, why can't we follow suit now? Having the choice to use a 1x6 horizontal action bar instead of a 2x3 one would make a lot of people happy and all these UI complaint posts would probably stop. Meet people in the middle.
