I was looking at some videos lately about the different dreds, carriers, fleet battles etc and noticed that a portion of the videos had one of three very useful and very different UI that are not the EVE integrated UI.
This is one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2mUCUEUFYk
Another http://www.siegedom.com/Files/Eve/Kills/Almightybig/1.jpg
Sadly the third and most impressive one I cannot find the video for anymore. I remember that all the menu "icons" were fully animated (IE the overview had an animated radar icon) and the ship control pannel was more efficient.
I have been searching everywhere for UI mods for EVE and I cant seem to find any! how are these people using modded UIs and where can I find a few to choose from?
thanks a bunch if you have an answer!

Haha... Those videos and screen shots are OLD! That was the UI of the game in Alpha and Beta... --- "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind." -Terry Pratchett |

The third UI that I am still looking for the video on was more recent and featured some impressive stuff. Ill post it when I can find it, I dont know if its from old version of the game or not.

CCP has said a very long time ago that thay refuse to allow player to mod the UI for there would be a Great advantage for the elite players vs the newer or the ones without the new slick ui

Having played WoW and EVE off and on, I'll admit the level of customization in WoW's UI is amazing, I loved being able to completely change how it looked/worked. the only thing that maybe gave people an advantage was macro's and EVE's lack of said macro'ing ability would make being able to move things, change placements, or add/remove buttons completely fair IMO. That said, the EVE ui is itself, fairly good, the drone UI is crap, the grouping mechanic is a step in the right direction. I'd like the ability to move stuff around, have a button to have drones; deploy, attack, or return just because of the convenience, the dialog boxes feel really clunky and slow. Having a couple of purely aesthetic choices for readouts/layouts would be really awesome too, just because we all have different tastes.

No. Never has been, never will be.
and if there was, everyone and their grandmother is getting 5 hulk toons with an Orca and macro'ing it up. ---O-H--S-H-*-T---

Customizing the UI is nothing about macro'ing, if designed correctly there is no way of exploiting it or making macro'ing easier than it already is. Customizing the UI is about placing buttons, text and windows where you want them, with the content you want (as far as the game's API permits of course) and giving them the look you want. Interacting with the game happens through API functions that the UI coders have to use, these functions are not accessible from outside the executable, only the game's script compiler knows where they are.
