Orthanc 1.0
January 21/11
F2P edition
Made by Estewyn, Order of the Ancients

:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
This interface was inspired by the Rise of Isengard Wallpaper on the LOTRO site. I've never been much of a minimalist. I tend to have a lot of crap on my screen and I like someplace to keep it. I've spared you my addons in the screen shots.

A large majority of the work is my own from scratch, but credits go to:
-Daimon/Liftedplane for some of the fiddly bits ie: tabs and item borders that are so tedious to do. some of the DaimonUIpurple bits were perfect.
- Sidebar Craft by The Old One. I like the more compressed crafting panel.
- Transparent Map Tracker by Hazado...goodbye ugly, big map tracker panel...
- JappMe for the deed log tabs with a few tweaks.

*Installation Instructions*
1. open the zip file and extract the contents to:
My Documents\Lord Of The Rings Online\UI\Skins
2. restart LOTRO
3. open options\ui settings and scroll down to the skin chooser drop down list
4. select Orthanc from the drop down menu
5. the skin will not display properly until you log out and in again.
6. if the skin is still not displaying properly, check to ensure that you have not unzipped the file into a second folder ie: ../Orthanc/Orthanc
7. at present, this skin will only display correctly on 1680 wide or less resolutions. 1900 wide resolutions will have a gap on either end.
**a note for 1900 wide users. I recently purchased a new laptop with a 1900 native display so I'll be updating my skins. In the meantime, I've found that if you increase the scale to 1.15 on the toolbar and quickslots the panel will display much better. It not a perfect solution but it helps.

I really like this UI, but my resolution is 1920x1080. I think you have made this UI for a 1680 resolution only.
I tried to change the 1680's in the SkinDefinition to 1920, but the image of the toolbar starts repeating on the right side of my screen.
Is it maybe possible for you to make this skin available for different resolutions? I'd love to use it if it's usable with my resolution!

Thnx in advance,
Kate


I just bought a new laptop with a 1900 resolution so a larger update will be forthcoming. In the meantime, I find if I increase the toolbar and quickslots to 115%, then it goes edge to edge. It makes it a little larger but not too bad.

What is your screen resolution? If your screen resolution is very different from the 1680 width it might be messing with it.
What it sounds like is that you may have installed it inside a 2nd folder...ie: Orthanc/Orthanc. Make sure it is unzipped straight to the UI/Skins folder and not inside another extra folder.
Also, I know if I switch skins from a narrow skin to a wider skin, then it doesn't display the correct dimensions until I re-log.

Orthanc Skin

So, I downloaded and applied the skin to my game. It's awesome with the exception that whenever I quit the game, and then log back in sometime later, it completely screws up my interface. I now have three action bars in the bottom, and the only way for me to fix it is to remove the skin, re-apply it, and then log back in. Any suggestions?

I found an error in the way I named that file so it should be working now. I've been on my lvl 36 hunter a lot lately so I don't run into many elite masters.
Haha thanks. I only noticed due to my repeated school/library runs on my RK. Couldn't see the bosses health unless the assist window was opening.

Love this skin so far. The only thing I've noticed is the elite master vitals seems to be missing? Any EM I come across has the big checker boxed bg that doesn't show the vitals and just the image. All the other vitals seems to be working properly.

Wow, even though this totally isnt my style i did respect its beauty, very nice one

If you do at some point make another one i would have a second look at the vitals windows, their backgrounds are to big, imo.

I was planning to make the next one in more masculine colors. Having said that, I'm a gurl and I like eye candy so my stuff always ends up a little frilly.

I would surely use this if it was available in another color.

Good interface, but not my style. Though I like the tower thing.

I'm not really sure how it will affect the placement of the different elements on the toolbar if I change the size of the background graphic so I'll have to experiment. I know lots of people use the higher resolutions now. I actually use 1440x900 myself, I'm on an alienware laptop.

I'm glad you like it. Somebody rated it a 1 the first day and my ego was suffering. hehe Thanks to the people who took the time to give it a better rating.

Not too shabby. I look forward to seeing more examples when you get the final 10% complete.

I currently use Damon UI Pruple so something like this is right up my alley.
