====={ Delving Hills LOTRO UI Skin }=====

Made for The Lord of the Rings Online Book 13 by Turbine
Version 1.01, 30 May 2008
Created by "Wicked Mouse"

The name "Delving Hills" given to this skin refers to the Shire obviously, as this skin tries to emit the homely athmosphere from the Shire Folk.

==============={ v1.01 }=================
Date: 30 May 2008

Added:
- Right-hand tabs of the gear section in Character Journal
- The background wood of Outfitting 1 and 2
- Forochel bookmark at the Deed Log/Accomplishment Book
- Progress bar
- Quest Log graphics

Changed:
- Hope 5/6 glow inside the ring lowered a little bit for visibility reasons

==============={ v1.0 }==================
Date: 4 April 2008

Skin is containing all most obvious graphics that can be changed at this point:

- Social Panel
- Crafting Panel
- Character Journal
- Main Bar, with a minibar alternative (instructions below)
- Accomplishments/Deed Book
- Radar/Minimap
- By this also: Bags, Options Panel
- Player/Enemy Vitals
- ..and probably other things I cannot think of right now.

Obviously I'm planning to keep it a bit up to date and tweak it here and there in the future.

==========={ User Agreement }============
(Last revised 10/05/2007)

If you use any of my work, all I ask for is clear acknowledgement of it in any and all of your descriptions and ReadMe files, that's not much to ask is it?

1. You agree to this agreement by downloading and using any and all files and intellectual property included in this software package.
2. You agree to NOT discredit any author of any or all of their original software included be it code, graphics, any other assets or intellectual property.
3. You agree to NOT hold any author responsible for any damage, data loss or any problems caused directly or indirectly by this software.
4. You agree to NOT use any material included for monetary gain, as it is against Turbine's EULA agreement and it is NOT your right to make money off of other author's work.
5. You may redistribute any and all files contained in this package ONLY if they remain unmodified, this user agreement is included and proper credit to any and all authors is given.
6. You may modify and redistribute any and all files contained in this compilation ONLY with the expressed written permission of any and all respective authors.
7. If you do not agree to any of the points above then delete any and all files included in this package as well as past and future versions, by doing this you are agreeing to NOT use, modify and redistribute any and all material that is a part of this package for any purpose.

Translation: Do not take my work, use it to make a new skin and then do nothing to acknowledge the use of my work. While it is very flattering to see my work used throughout many other themes and many of you actually acknowledge it in your descriptions (thanks!), it is quite annoying and discouraging to find "new" skins using my work without a single mention of doing so and in some cases even bragging about all original work made from scratch, please do not do this, all it does is detract me from releasing updates more often.

==========={ Installation }==============

1. Exit the game (the included XML file only gets loaded at start-up)

2. Open the ZIP file containing all the UI Skin files (where you got this readme from!)

3. Extract all the files from the ZIP file making sure the option to "use folder names" is enabled; The folder on your computer you should select as the destination will be: ..\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\

4. If Extracted correctly you should now have the following folder path:
..\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\Delving Hills\

5. All images and the skin definition will be inside their respective folder if extracted properly.

6. Launch the game

7. Once in-game, go to OPTIONS then choose "UI Settings" from the menu on the right, once there scroll down to just above the new UI scale sliders to the UI Settings page and you will find a dropdown list where you can choose the UI Skin to use for that character.

8. Enjoy!


Minibar instructions:

The graphic files have been put into /mainbar-small/

- Replace the SkinDefinition.xml with SkinDefinition-small.xml by renaming them (for example rename SkinDefinition.xml into SkinDefinition-ORIGINAL.xml and then SkinDefinition-small.xml into SkinDefinition.xml). Or optionally make an entire new skin directory to be able to switch quickly/easily between the two versions.

- In case of a different screen resolution than 1600x1200, on which I changed the code, the minibar may have a weird position. On line 15 you see the following:

<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="286" Y="1090" Width="1024" Height="110"> <!-- change the X and Y values to reposition for a different screen resolution. 0,0 being top left of the screen.-->

Change the values of X and Y to reposition it. The higher the value of X, the more to the right. The higher the value of Y, the more down it goes.
