Green UI

Introduction

EverQuest began with a user interface that was very different from the one used on live today, or even from the default one in the Titanium Client, which Project 1999 uses. Just as with every other aspect of the game, Green will strive to be "as classic as possible" when it comes to its user interface.

"As Classic as Possible" ... So Not the Classic UI?

The original EverQuest client had two modes, a "full screen UI" mode, and a "transparent UI" mode, which was not nearly as widely known. Hitting F10 would switch between the two modes, up until ? (sometime before/during Velious, but not mentioned on Patch Notes). At that point it was changed to the current "no UI toggle".

The original "full screen UI" mode that most players will remember simply cannot be re-created with the Titanium client, for a variety of reasons (but vastly different monitor resolutions now vs. 20 years ago is certainly one factor).

(Mostly) Classic Transparent UI

As a result, Project 1999 Green's UI will instead emulate the transparent UI. Again, although this UI was not as commonly known, it was in the game since the very beginning.

Because of technical limitations of the Titanium client, even this will not be a 100% perfect re-creation, but volunteers are working as hard as they can to "shoe-horn" this old style of UI into the Titanium client (and monitors with modern/large resolutions).

Where Can I Learn More

The Green UI is still being developed, and the volunteers behind the project post updates about their progress in this thread.
