Thanks for the quick update. It is very much appreciated.

I know for me, as well as many others playing DDO has been painful without this mod.

Update looks pretty good, but I'm finding that the SP bar in the party list is fading into the dark background a bit too much. I think there needs to be a little more contrast.

Maybe make the element borders in the party list slightly less dark - or change the blue to be slightly lighter.

Ah, finally they work again. Thanks

[Clay]

Yes! Thank you for the quick update!

[Arlathen]

[lhidda]

Still looking like Large Portrait being enabled messes up the large vitals bar. Everything else checks out nicely though!

I'm not having any trouble with it.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I'll try reloading the client shortly to test...

It works fine for me, but then again, I'm uber.

With all that time spent in the backpacks of others, it's amazing you aren't making your own UI skins Hordo.

It's all working now. Apparently, restarting fixes every issue ever.

I was working on one at one time, but turning every symbol into a soulstone was too big a chore...

Love this skin, but now it needs a update... lots of UI changes I don't like (especially the hotbar)

[Keybreaker]

Ualac deserves much praise for the Blackbird skin! It's no exageration to say that Blackbird vastly improves my gameplay experience. The default borders are just too bright, too gold, and too frilly... in a word - distracting. Blackbird is simple, elegant, and most importantly unobtrusive.

I'm actually still using it in MotD as is. The only problem I've seen is a non-transparent artifact in the lower right corner of the new large focus orb. This can be quickly patched by adding the following comment brackets to SkinDefinition.xml

<!--  INCOMPATABLE_MOTD
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="Focus_Orb_06" FileName="focusorb/focusorb_simple.tga"/>
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="Focus_Orb_small_cropped" FileName="focusorb/focusorb_simple_cropped.tga"/>  
  <Mapping ArtAssetID="focus_orb_logo_background" FileName="focusorb/focus_orb_blackbird_background.tga"/> 
-->

I hope the OP can update this. If he has left the game, is there anyone out there who can clean up the files a bit? Many of the files are no longer necessary because the default hotbars are no longer bright gold. But most of the border of most the windows remain too bright and too gold.

Thanks in advance.

The hot bars and a few other aspects arent working for me.
