This isn't what you originally posted. The original post showed no vision at all, like launch was.

Yeah, but he already posted saying that wasn't going to be forced on Green:

Can we still use the default skin instead of that skin on Green? I really dislike the weird transparent border around the spellbook on the "velious" skin. I keep hearing that we'll be locked into the "velious UI", but I don't know if that's the same thing as the skin.

Which one is the default skin?

They can't really lock us into the Velious UI until we can move the chat windows without having to switch to the default UI........right?

With a newish install of P99, \Everquest\uifiles\ has "default", "default_old", and "velious". Here's a quick random shot: https://i.imgur.com/UkBm6OW.png

In the aftermath of the extra hotbar/pet window patch he claimed they would be doing exactly that. Or at least that green would have no custom UI's. Assumption being that velious is what we would get, not clear if reverting to old style velious with only six hotbuttons/macro slots.

Maybe its that default instead of velious? But that seems to include more out of era stuff than the velious version. What is default_old?

Based on the Rogean screen shot it looks more like velious UI is what he's talking about, since that's his example of how medding on green would look.

The default UI is POP UI, I know that. The Velious UI is close to the original, but still wrong.

But.....I need to have separate chat windows! You currently cannot do that if you are stuck on the Velious UI only.

Just checked on blue, you can definitely make a second chat window using Velious UI. Not sure if that's getting turned off for green.

Well, maybe I spoke out of term here. THe issue isn't that you cannot create a new chat window, the issue is that you cannot move any of the chat windows unless you go back to the default UI, move them to your desired location, and then switch back to the Velious UI.

Oh ok, you can at least expand and contract them to line up windows at the bottom side by side, but I see what you mean now.

I had seen others speculating after the path that they could disable the ability to create a second chat window completely for green if multiple chat windows weren't available during the timeline.

Kunark-Velious UI in action

iirc to med during this time it would switch back over to the classic UI with the spellbook. Perhaps someone who knows for certain will comment.
