Introduction :


Here is a compilation of enhanced panels codes gathered in a single skindefinition file.
These custom panels are designed for high resolution screens (resolutions below 1024X768 are not supported, 1440X900 or higher is highly recommended).
These panels are the same than those embedded in JRR except the extended barter panel.

Since v4.2b there are 2 skin profiles embedded in this release. The first one has extended an enhanced panels only, the second adds some store buttons removal.

This release can be used as well as a skin to enjoy convenient enhancements within lotro's default themes (hero and monster play) or as well as a skin developing starting base.
After installation and ingame selection of the skin on your character, you have to logout and relog to enjoy the new panels settings.


Extended and Enhanced Panels is supported by MMOUI Minion update software. More informations HERE.


Step by step installation :

• Download to your desktop the zip file hosted on this page.

• Unpack) it (using windows right clicking unzipping embedded function, or with a dedicated software as 7zip (free software), Winzip, or Winrar...).

• Once the zip file is unpacked on your desktop, check if the new created folder is called "ExtendedEnhancedPanels" or "ExtendedEnhancedPanels *something more*".
  if it is the longer name, double left click on it to enter the folder then you should be facing the right "ExtendedEnhancedPanels" folder.

• Copy (or cut) it, then paste it in your ..\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\ folder.
  Tipycally, on windows vista and seven it looks like C:\ User(s) \ your account name \ documents \ The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
  on Windows XP, it should look like C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\
  If ui and/or skins (don't forget the *s*) folders don't exist, then create it, and then copy in it the ExtendedEnhancedPanels folder.

• Now, the skin will be available in Lotro the next time run it !

• To allocate the skin to one of your characters, log him/her, then open the ingame option panel ( *O* key)
  --> select UI settings tab --> go to "user current skin" and use the scrollable selection box to select Enhanced Panels.
