Would there be a way to revert your UI to Classic?

I really loved this UI back in the day, would there be a way to bring it back?

If you mean day 1 classic, yes and no. There's a thread on the emulator forums of someone who did it, but it came with a mountain of problems that didn't make it feasible, and may have required some client modification, which involves some legality issues. Link forthcoming next med break.

Hrm. Looks good, but the only place to get his files are in a forum that appears to be dead since March

Yeah, it's easy to miss the details through all of the screenshots, but if I understand it correctly. the devs would have to recreate the entire database to be compatible with an ancient version of the emulator, etc.

Ah! I love those screenshots.. now I finally remember how the UI looked like back then. I was wondering why I am just not comfortable with the "new" one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

About as close to classic as you can get, the only beef I have is there is no good spot for the pet window : D If anyone needs help setting it up let me know!
