Misan Pal'Taek over at Serious Thukking Business Made a great post about proper setup of the UI. I admired his UI screen shots and have to say I was a bit intrigued!
This is Misan's current and very elegant setup, well detailed and explained why everything is where it is. Makes a whole lot of sense to me at least. But then my overview is just a jumble, but it's a jumble that I know where shit is! Mostly muscle memory at this point!
Speaking of, his setup is roughly the exact reverse of mine, where my radial(the circle with shield/armor/structure is what I call a Radial) is still down at the bottom middle in the "traditional" position, but who knows for how much longer! I have my targets arranged above the radial, spanning from my overview on the right of my screen to and even under my scanner and local chat channel on the left, or at least when I have 10 targets locked. My scanner sits next to my huge local chat window, ready for probes or d-scan. I have my fleet window docked with my scanner since it is rare in combat to be using both at the same time. My watch list is close to the top middle, slightly to the right corner. Drones are under the overview as usual, but slightly smaller with no space between the overview and side of the screen since I don't look at the outlaying icons around the outside of the screen much. As for chat windows, other than local, I keep the majority of my intel, corp/alliance chat at the top of the screen in the dead middle, minimized in combat along with fleet chat... use vent people! My private chats and random channels I have in the lower right corner by my drones, keeping those minimized in combat as well.So without further ado! What does YOUR UI look like currently? Why does it look like that? I think I will be changing mine up soon, so stand by!
So this is basically what I have on a regular basis, everything not minimized.
