AZURE GLASS by Enfield of Landroval
v1.4.1
Latest version can be downloaded at http://www.lotrointerface.com.
[ Description ]
This interface uses the "glossy" or "glass" style to give the default LOTRO UI a cleaner and more modern look.
[ Installation Instructions ]
Extract the contents of this folder to the following location:
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
You may have to create the above folders if they do not already exist.
[ Configuration ]
In order for the toolbar to be placed properly, you'll need to modify the X and Y position manually in the SkinDefinition.xml file. The line you'll need to modify is the following line:
<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="..." Y="..." Width="1024" Height="144">
The rules for calculating the values are:
X = (Resolution Width - 1024) / 2
Y = Resolution Height - 135
Example:
Your resolution is 1280x1024
X = (1280 - 1024) / 2 = 128
Y = 1024 - 135 = 889
After loading the UI for the first time, you'll have to restart your LOTRO client for everything to be positioned correctly. If you don't want to use the custom toolbar due to current limitations of the client, the old toolbar is available by simply replacing the SkinDefinition.xml with the SkinDefinition_OldToolbar.xml file.
[ Known Issues ]
These are the current known issues with the UI. Most of them are caused either from bugs in the game or limitation of the skinning system. If you find a bug not listed below, please send me a PM on the forums on www.lotrointerface.com. - The small Attunement gauge is cropped so part of the right half does not show
- If locked, the Item Advancement icon on the toolbar uses the old icon image
- The border of the selection image in the Social panel isn't quite squared away (bug submitted to Turbine)
[ Special Thanks ]
Brygard - For the inspiration to constantly improve the UI
D.H1cks - The LOTRO Skin Viewer/Editor are invaluable tools for development of UIs.
Drusan - For introducing me to this well-designed game.
Frosty - For the excellent information on UI creation.
[ What's New ]
1.4.1
- Added an Auto-Attack icon to the toolbar

Nice!
I like the glass look, its clean and seems less cluttered. Also a nice touch with the book marks.
Did you something with the bags as well?

Thanks for the compliments. As far as the inventory bags, other than the window appearance change, I also changed the image for an empty item slot.

Book 13 Updates
I've been working hard on a Book 13 update to the UI, but I'm being picky as usual, so it's not quite ready for release. However, I do feel like I owe you some previews:

Yeah, but this would cause modifications in the XML-file. You'd have to make these modifications for every resolution you'd like to use. Furthermore - and mor important - these modifications would cause problems with the window mode. A switch to the window made would mess up the interface. A restart of the game would be necessary to rearrange the interface.
Edit: Ah, the present interface uses these XML-modifications to rearrange the buttons. Thus a resize of the experiencebar would't cause many further porblems.

Right, although I included a non-modified version of the toolbar if you frequently switch between window mode and full screen. I was looking into reducing the size of the EXP bar, but I noticed that not all sub-markings on the bar were the same width, so I'm not sure how accurate it would end up being.
P.S. This release was just used to fix some small things before I begin work on my next project. If you have any suggestions for improvement, though, I'd be glad to hear them.

Thanks for the great skin!
One small graphical bug I noticed was that your opponent vitals were one pixel lower than the player vitals. I think this resulted a thin see-though bar below the opponent morale and power bars.

Uh... My toolbar is out of place, it's at the top of the screen
My display is 1152 x 864
<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="64" Y="719" Width="1152" Height="864">
That is what I'm supposed to edit. And yet it comes out wrong.
Help, please?

For those who are curious, his problem was he was changing the Width and Height attributes when only the X and Y should be changed.

Bug with Toolbar
I absolutely love this Skin, thank you so much for making this!
However, I've encountered a couple issues with it. (v1.3)
When you resize the additional hotbars and then put them in the hotbar area, hotbar #3 always appears begind thebackdrop when first signing into the game. In order to get it to appear up front, you have to go into the Options and make bar #3 vertical and then horizontal again and then move it back into position.
Image: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...lass_bug01.jpg
Also, when you resize the main bar, the bar and xp meter float several pixels above the bottom of the screen (see also the picture above).
Is there a fix for this I can do myself in the files? I am not savvy in editing these files so if there is, please explain it as detailed as possible how to edit it.
I'm going to give your Azure Glass Lite a try until this is resolved however, I really like having a back-drop and all my bag buttons.
Thanks!

That is great news! I have to admit that I've been sad since I dropped this UI after the launch of MoM.
This is the only UI that I have found that is nice looking, low profile, gives me four bars in the bottom center and still gives me small icons for bags and such in a way that doesn't take up space.
Enfield....Thank you!!!!
