This is a pre-built UI layout, using the Yessh skin from Deewe.
It includes modifications for 1280X1024 windowed resolution and or 1920X1200 full screen. It was designed and built to address the issue of some UI elements not being adjustable via in game options.

If you are after the 1920X1200 version, you can find it under the 'Patch & Add-ons" section.

Please see user submitted posts below, for any additional information or miscellaneous troubleshooting.

Refer to the Readme(Requirements section) of this project, to decide which version of "Yessh" you wish to use, if you want something more recent than what is provided by default in the UI build packages. Deewe's Yessh

Optional versions:

Yessh 1.5
Yessh 1.5 + 2

Yessh 1.6
Yessh 1.6 +2

*You are not required to use these as a working build is provided for you through an older version of the skin. However to show support for Deewe, and/or to reap the benefits of newer versions, the two listed above are known to be working with this package.


Information regarding the usage of another author's skins and/or the default LOTRO skin is addressed at the end of the Readme, in the Troubleshooting section.






Features (code) * :



Toolbar: The default toolbar has been removed entirely, including the experience meter. This can be turned back on via the .xml file, which is explained in the Readme.

Attack Icon: The attack icon has been detached from the original toolbar, and placed centered between the opponent and player vitals.

Violent Indicator: The violent indicator(empty fire ring as seen in screenshots) has been separated from the attack icon, and can be used as a proper tool to indicate battle stance.

Fervor/Focus Bar: The Fervor/Focus bar has been detached from the attack icon and replaced in similar fashion, in the new location as seen in the pictures.

Portraits: Player and Opponent portraits are removed.

Vitals: Player and Opponent vital windows are frameless and transparent.


*This works with all normal targets, including Hero, Signature, Elite, Elite Master and PVMP.



Features (layout) :

All information is provided to match screenshots. UI element windows placement has been shown in the accompanying screenshots(not shown here) provided in the zip files. Additional scaling sizes are found in the Readme.

Note* You do not need to view the Readme, except to get the scaling sizes for the UI settings.

The readme files are still in their near original format, which was designed to encourage the users to be more hands on, so the template has stayed the same, to honor that opportunity.

Any additional information is relevant for those who wish to learn how to make modifications of their own.
