When it comes to my UI in games, I prefer simplicity. I don't like a lot of images crowding or cluttering the screen. This is why, when I saw dev/null's main bar skin (called Nui) I knew I had to expand on this. With the permission of dev/null I have used his original Nui bottom bar (found
here) as a template to created a skin for the rest of the LotRO interface.
I hope you enjoy it, and again...a big thanks to dev/null for allowing me to rip his original main bar skin.
Note: For some reason the upload process destroys the quality on my screen shots. Download it and check it out in person please. :P And I'd also like to encourage comments, good or bad. I want to make a nice UI and I need more input to make that happen.
