That looks awful, so I'm not surprised one of the devs had the same taste in layout.
if you disagree with me then you should probably post a response and stop reading my signature. |

It wasnt nearly as stupid, but it showed how everything could be moved around... he also had stuff targeted...

Default layout FTW. Only thing I've changed is that local is a separate window ontop of corp chat/other channels. BECAUSE OF FALCON! |

I can generally position things as I want, except for four exceptions:
- The Targets that are locked. So far, best I can tell is that if you move that "Selected Item" box around, the targets generally appear to the left or right. This definitely becomes odd, though, when you put the box on the bottom of the window, as then the targets appear about two inches from the bottom of the screen. Being able to move the 'targets locked' icons in a vertical or horizontal arrangement around the screen, and even better, shrink them and possible stack them in two rows/columns ... that would be awesome.
- The neocron (you know, the little icons on the left-hand?). Sure, I can choose left or right ... but I'd REALLY like it if I could place it along the top or bottom, ala windows/mac. Running some script which allows minimized windows and other functions from the HUD (cargo hold, scanner) and other simplified commands? Great!
- MapBrowser. I don't know too many people who actively use this, but I would kill someone (in game, of course) for the ability to move the mapbrowser independent like other UI elements. Currently, you can only move it to the left or right, and it has no 'disable auto-hide' option and tends to push lots of crap around. Let me move either the whole box, or better, the individual boxes (I never need the region box, but the system and constellation boxes are crucial).
- The HUD. I can move it to the top or bottom? Awesome. How about vertically? How about making it opaque, so I might be able to put it in the center? So many possibilities.
Another UI upgrade I would love, is an radial menu. It works similar to a right click, only usually by a single keypress, like alt, etc. This menu is perfect for fleet commands, drone control, even simple menus. Just press alt, and a radial menu pops up near your mouse for a short period of time, allowing you to move a very small distance to choose a command.

Look for a little crosshair near the targets locked and drag that to move it around. *** You're only as good as your last fight. |

Okay, seriously, you are my new favorite critter. I like you more than I like my gold fish, and what's not to like about a creature that never says a word and only has to be fed once a day?
I've since had my eyes opened, and realized that if you can find that hidden little crosshair, you can also right click and choose to vertically assort the targets, as well as 'lock them in order'.
Now if only there was the option to half the size of the icons and readouts ... oh, man.

I have got used to this layout. It keeps all the focus to one small section of the screen during pew pew.

I also tried for a while a layout just like yours, but it just freaked me out. So I went back to pretty much the default layout, with some extra comms channels on the left-hand side. Maybe I'll give your layout another try (coz I can).

That's pretty much what I do. I could deal with the op's layout too, but I'm far too lazy to deal with that.

little noob question - how do you move the center console thing (graphical representation of cap, shields, armor, hull, thing to left of modules etc.) from the default center?

Left click and hold when the cursor is on the capacitor (yellow bit in the middle ) and then drag it where you want it.

Mashie, I agree with you. This is a better layout. The standard UI forces you to look at targets at the top and click on buttons at the bottom. Those critical systems should all be grouped together, this can save vital seconds and not makey you take eyes of target to check your own status. I might give a similar layout a go and see if I can overcome the initial reaction you get to having the controls at the top.

Hi Mechtech The only probelm with moving targets to bottom is you still have objects closest to you at the top of the item list on the right hand side, which again has you scanning between top and bottom again. (You can reverss sort the list and scroll to the bottom but I thing the scrollbar resets when you jump). So I still think that getting used to the controls at the top might be a bit more efficient. (I would try to have drone control in the top too. But thats just me with a bee in my bonnet ;-) and nothing else to do while I carebear mine ore hehe.

You can 'Align Top' using the option available when clicking on the small right-facing white triangle just outside on the bottom right of the main HUD. Unless of course you're referring to free movement from top to bottom Ruze, in which case i think that's not possible (at the moment).

Right click on the little "cross-hairs target thing" (origin point of targets) and change to vertical.
I have mine as default (with local seperate on top) but with targets vertical to the left of the overview :) - like as others who keep their mods next to their targets, I like to keep the overview next to mine, for similar reasons.
Also, I really don't see how people can play eve without people and places open at all times (do people actually use the map for entering destination?!) and scanner for those who PVP.
I'll post mine if I remember when I get home

Just use the auto-link feature in a suitable chat window such as fleet for destinations.
