Don’t tell me pet windows aren’t classic

This is what you need to prepare yourself for...

Velious went translucent full screen. No pet box to transfer over to it. It was cool going full screen but at the cost of art flavor. You still had the old ui pop up for spellbook use.

The stonework was starting to fade away.

My school 'friend' mocked me for using the classic interface instead of the velious one.

I liked how the classic interface was like a window into another world.

Plus the inventory button is labelled 'Persona'.

Doesn't get much more immersive than that... AHHH... look at that scroll / parchment chat window. I'm no computer genius, but why is this so hard to bring back to it's original format? If I am remembering right, a little project that never took off called EQclassic was able to get it.

iirc the persona key would bring up the alternate stone ui without the inventory element. ' I ' key would bring up inventory as well as stone border ui.

I miss the persona key.

In classic UI, if you hold alt and hover over items in an open bag does it display names like in current UI?

This is actually the original UI (6 hotkeys). Pressing f10 made the stone borders translucent.

I stand corrected.

Were they using black bar borders on the sides to get the 4:3 aspect ratio or running in a windowed mode?

As a relic of a bygone time (that original UI) the wife and I still refer to even-/con opponents as "/cons black" rather than the white text that appears on all the post-original interfaces.
