I finally went all classic. Using Velious UI instead of my previous "default". Still have a similar layout to what I used to use. Everything is a bit unaligned right now, a consequence of the way I have to move the windows around and such. These windows are also usually much larger, they are shortened right now because when I stream I like to give a larger field of view (but must cover up my chat windows with a black bar).

Overall I like this much better than the "default" UI. I feel I have much more overall text space, but keep the same organizational features I liked about my previous UI. This was pretty much the setup I used when I still played as well, though obviously the chat windows didn't need to be expanded so often.

Previous UI for comparison:

I feel like I miss a lot of things with a single window, and then when I try to split my chat/combat windows I feel spammed with useless info.

How many chat windows do you use? How do you filter your chat windows?

I just started using GINA for my kill timers. Now I'm interested if there is a good way to parse chat logs for DPS? Pet DPS? Money per kill/hour?

Just found out about this, thanks.

I love the Velious UI and have been using it from day 1. Only disadvantage is that you can't see mana amount - sometimes I switch over to default to check the difference between a couple of pieces of gear - but shit's classic.
