Exp Bar? |

I heard rumors that the Experience bar would be separable from the inventory screen. In this scenario you would then be able to see your exp bar on the same screen that you can see your hit points etc..
Is it still necessary to go to the inventory screen to see your experience? |

I just set mine to stop fading in and out when windows gain/loose focus.
I find if the background is solid that the text is always readable, and since I use alot of defaults for text colours, it should work for you.
Under Options, check the Display Tab, and then set the slider to "Fade t |

It's not separable in the default skin.
However, it is possible to make new skins and stick anything anywhere you darn well please...including the exp bar in it's own window if you wanted.

There's no long any reason to switch from full to non-full screen. All the clunkiness is pretty much gone (ie you don't go into non-full screen when looting, trading, etc any longer) with this new UI.

I have one quick question still lingering in my mind...
What happens when you want to read a book in game?
(like 'basic blacksmithing' or something)
Do you still have to switch to HUD mode? or does it come up in a window or something?
I know in the current interface you can't read a book in Full |

Hey Illia, how is it that you have your level 60 on the test server? Is that just where you have her, or something else? |

You can read books in full screen. Additionally, You have access to your spell book in full screen mode too. There is a new spell book and new spell icons for the new interface. No more HUD mode. |

The new tracking window is awesome and the bazaar windows are promising, but yet not fully functional. This is looking good, people, really good... |

What resolutions will this lovely new interface use. I have an LCD monitor that can only handle upto 1024x768, does this mean I cannot use this new interface. I cannot find any information on the requirements for this new interface. |

Thanks for the screenshots. This looks great! I haven't been on test for awhile but I may have to jump in there and take a look at this.
Wonder if there is an ETA on the Bazaar... |

I hope 1024X768 is good enough.
That is what I normally use. lol
I don't see why they would limit the use of it like that however. |

I also normally play in 1024x768. However, the new interface seemed very cluttered to me in this resolution and I ended up jumping to 1600x1200 before I was happy. This was fine in an empty EC, but I expect to have trouble in that resolution on Luclin. |

Hmmm, couple things about skins.
You can put any of the "Gauge"'s (Exp bar, hp bar, etc.) in any window, inventory slots too.
Buttons can't be moved from window to window, but can be resized and moved inside a window.
This is looking awesome. |

Also the spellbook is changed from 5 spells on 50 pages (250 spell slots) to 8 spells on 32 pages for a total of 256 spell slots. This will probably mean alot of rearranging once it goes live but that's a small price to pay for having 60% more spells per page available to you. |
