I spent about two years of my life constantly changing my desktop environment. I love changing my UI but I think SE5's interface was overall a step backwards. It did add great stuff like hexes but SE5 displays data poorly more often then not like the combat log.

So I take it the SE5 UI isn't moddable like SE4? I'm a huge fan of 3&4, but I'm also currently holding off on SE5. If it is moddable, has anyone made new skins?

::edit:: Thanks Fyron, when I said 'moddable' I meant skinnable.

SE4's UI is not moddable. It is partially skinnable, in that some of the elements are stored as bitmaps. However, you cannot actually change the UI.

SE5's UI is very skinnable. Every element is stored as a bitmap, rather than just some like in SE4. However, it isn't really moddable either. You can do a little bit with the HUDSettings.txt file to move buttons around, but thats it. Look for the "Dark UI Mod" in the mods section for an example of a reskinned UI.
