Newb question - how to get rid of that big bar on bottom

[Bishop7042]

I really don't mind the LOTRO default UI as long as I have the ability to drag my target boxes and my button bars around. But the one thing I can't move is that big old beast along the bottom middle (contains the option buttons, XP bar along the bottom, and ending with the bag buttons on the right).

I would be happy if I could just get rid of it altogether and just use my dragable bars and hot key my bags and other menus open. Any thoughts on how to turn that off? Or suggestions for a mod that can get rid of the beast?

You should take a stroll through the Action Bars section of the downloads area. There's a few of minimalistic bar skins there.

Getting rid of it completely ... now there's a thought. Couldn't we just take the parent window, size it to 1x1 and make it transparent?!

Yes...yes you could...with the exception of the combat indicator (which will give you a floating ring of fire animation when you enter combat lol) and the main bar, which would be best to just shove in a corner...

Although...if everyone did that, we'd have nothing to do here!

Are you sure u cannot hide the combat indicator?

I made it smaller and moved it away, and thus it should be possible to hide it (atleast put out of sight).

As far as I know, we don't have control of the combat ring animation...ju8st like we don't have control of the fervour/focus pip displays.

I tried it last week by reducing the images by 50% as well as reducing the xml code for the sizes but the ring of fire that shows "in combat" stayed its original size...

Hello there,

You can do all of that and even more like moving or hiding the autoattack button with my Yessh UI and the Yessh+ Mod.

Maybe you'd like to have a look at my skinless vital mod for a bare minimum UI layout.

All details and explanations are in the Yessh+ mod

You can hide the following objects from every UI you're using, even the default Lotro UI. You just need to do some SkinDefinition.xml editing by yourself.

• xpbar
• autoattackbutton+the animation around it
• fervour meter
• hunter aim meter
• toolbars (quest,craft etc)
• bags
  
  
  Just change the Width and Height values of those Elements you want to hide to 1
  

  i.e.
  <Element ID="ToolBarButton_Quest" X="330" Y="24" Width="1" Height="1" />

You can also hide many other objects by using a transparent .tga picture to hide those ArtAssets you don't want to be shown.

Patience is the answer here... Implementation will be probably set on the agenda and soon maybe some changes will be done... the voice of the people must be heard...
