(L) Developer Diary: New Main Menu

[Cairenn]

As LOTRO grows and new UI features are developed, like the new Skirmish Join and Skirmish panels, we have found that we can't just keep adding buttons to the toolbar at the bottom of your screen (or the border of your Radar) to launch the new panels. With this in mind, we set out to create a way for you to launch the new (and existing) features, which will support current needs and allow for future expansion.

Introducing (drum roll please), the new Main Menu!

/ui layout save will now save the following items:

. your layouts (this is the "old" functionality) - the sizes and positions of the elements on the screen
. your aliases
. your chat font sizes and colors
. your UI Options from the various options pages (scales, various checkbox settings, etc.)

that s a cool new feature, but i was hoping for more. The default UI looks so plastic and cheap to me. The ui scaling feature gives results that look pixelated and terrible. The chat window is still horrible, still no per tab/window opacity control. I was just expecting more UI improvements and ease of skinning at least by this expansion.

Looks interesting.
