5pinDizzy	Posted - 2009.05.02 22:38:00 - [5] 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.

Renarla	Posted - 2009.05.02 22:41:00 - [7] Default layout FTW. Only thing I've changed is that local is a separate window ontop of corp chat/other channels. BECAUSE OF FALCON!
Ruze Ahkor'Murkon Amarr No Applicable Corporation	Posted - 2009.05.02 23:15:00 - [8] 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. Posts by Ruze Ahkor'Murkon and Ruze

Mashie Saldana Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2009.05.02 23:53:00 - [14] I have got used to this layout. It keeps all the focus to one small section of the screen during pew pew.

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).

wickedpheonix	Posted - 2009.05.04 06:15:00 - [19] 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?

Billy Dee	Posted - 2009.07.23 05:57:00 - [21] Originally by: Mashie Saldana I have got used to this layout. It keeps all the focus to one small section of the screen during pew pew. 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. Billy Dee

Billy Dee	Posted - 2009.07.23 07:01:00 - [24] 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. Bill D

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).

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

Nyveg Hyperborea Re	Posted - 2009.07.23 09:55:00 - [32] I'm also trying the top-alignment. A major flaw is that You cannot move the position of notfications right over my target-icons. Or is there a way?
Tiny Tove	Posted - 2009.07.23 10:16:00 - [33] I just leave things where Eve wants them. To move them is to invite the beast.

You can't move the notifications unfortunately, I would love to have the notifications below the targets. Also the warpdrive notifications would be handy to move upwards.

Venomire GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.07.23 10:33:00 - [37] You were able to, briefly (on SiSi) set how many columns/rows your targets would display in, when they were changing the UI to allow you to move that stuff. I rather wish they kept that.

Extend all the way across the screen?

(As a non-logistics, non-capital pilot I've never felt inclined to train targeting past 3) Yep, I think it will start a second row if it hit the left side of the screen though. The workarounds I have at the moment is to make local a bit smaller so the targets don't end up underneath it or just play at a high enough resolution.

I'll stick with p&p.

My UI's just the default, except with local and fleet chat separate from the rest of the chat channels. Cargo windows are set above the chat. I'll definitely want to see about the vertical targeting, though. I've always liked that idea.
Bestofworst Worstofbest Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.07.23 13:27:00 - [45] My peoples and places are way too laggy to keep open. And the only thing I use it for is to create safe spots on the fly.
Spoon Thumb Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2009.07.23 13:49:00 - [46] I have very limited screen space due to playing on a mini-laptop (Asus Eee). The screen actually goes off the bottom/top so I have to move the mouse to the top/bottom of the screen to see the bottom/top of my UI when playing Eve. If I don't have this, the station services screen actually goes off the bottom and is not resizable below a certain size, making it impossible to open deliveries and corp hangar It means though that my Overview is also on the left to get max screen space for local and spotting hostiles on the right and at the same time mean that the latest command / intel from my main chat window stack is still visible at top of screen, and top of overview still visible at bottom no matter whether the bottom or top of the UI is off screen
Artassaut Minmatar Oblivion Amalgamated	Posted - 2009.07.23 14:00:00 - [47] My UI is rather bland. I still think the HP/Energy/Heat/Speed dial takes up way too much space. Something like this would really take my fancy.

It was bloody fabulous. Then they "fixed" it.

Caldari Citizen4714	Posted - 2009.07.24 01:01:00 - [54] Mine is more efficient. Everything I need to click in combat is located near the top right of the screen. Best I could do to put everything I need to work with in one space while working within the existing UI restrictions.

Denny Haze Amarr Knights of Destiny	Posted - 2009.07.25 17:00:00 - [56] I'd love to move stuff around on my screen, but unfortunately I don't have a monitor, so i use a 32" TV via HDMI, and have it at 1280x720, which doesn't leave much room on the screen. I could set it higher, but unfortunately not much of the text in EvE is resizable, so even now I have to bleed my eyes to read the mail. I LOVE BLOOD AND VIOLENCE! I'VE GOT A BONER FOR MURDER

That's not because you're playing with small text, it's because you're playing on a TV where the pixels are a different shape to computers and the pixel density is lower. ~46 PPI vs ~98 PPI on my monitor (15.4" 1280x800) I have no trouble reading the text.
