Components of the UI

Notes

  • In the Throne of Destiny Expansion, the Asheron's Call UI received many new features and improvements:
    • New interface skin.
    • Pop-up dialogues.
    • Instead of logging out and changing the keys from the login screen, keys are changed in-game using a large pop-up interface.
    • Floating help system window that has branching, easy-to-navigate menus.
    • The chat window can now be resized smoothly by clicking and dragging on its upper edge.
    • To alert the player when new text has come in, a small, blinking arrow appears at the bottom of the chat box instead of automatically scrolling down.
    • The status text, that used to appear in the top corner, has been moved to the top center, made red and enlarged.
    • You now see a 3D model of any person or monster, instead of a small icon, when you view them in the Examine Target Panel.
