I like it centered(off to 1 side will bother people watching tv on the other side) but can you have inventory at the bottom and chat on 1 side?

centerd is the best...but can swap and put inventory on the right side, its been there for 17 years and getting used to it over there is a bad plan. we are all old now and set it our ways.

I like the centered but I'd want the inventory on the right-side. Flip them around? Most people that use a PC with an external mouse use the mouse on the right side of their monitor (whether they are left-handed or not). And we've had the inventory on the right side thus far. . . :P

I only suggested inventory on the bottom because I'm usually a crafter.  having the things I'm using in the center(even at the bottom) is a little less hassle than off to the side...I'd definitely say no to the left, but the bottom seems like it shouldn't cause anyone a problem and might be a little easier on most of us.

I love centered but it should be flipped. Character and inventory on right and map and info etc on left. most people are right handed so moving back and forth from right side to center of screen is much more comfortable then moving your hand backwards. Plus its a lot more familiar to have your main info on the right, since that's how it's always been. Would look a little nicer too.

Heh, I voted classic but did not realize how popular Central would be. I guess I haven't played much newer RPGs lately.
I will do central but should I leave chat where it is and cut the tactical map off or move chat left or right and keep tactical map full 720x720?

any chance for that?  I've seen a lot of games that let you customize your interface...not sure how well that would work for us here though.

OK, I updated the client3.zip and added client3-center.exe and left the classic one in there too as client3.classic.exe.

It has plenty of bugs and issues but I am not gonna fix anything until we finally decide to go with Central/Center which is pretty much 99% locked in.

I do plan to make the tactical expand if you expand or maximize the window but not yet.

Posted a new client3.zip with the new Central layout. Fixed most if not all of the screen. You can expand it, mostly vertical and it remembers.
Had to wipe the players tho :(

While center looks great, It seems like it's splitting things needlessly just to have the screen in the center for a more aesthetically pleasing setup.  A major downside, IMHO, is that I am unable to shrink the window size as much as I'd like to, so the window consumes more of my screen that I use for other purposes, like watching videos or watching for messages in other programs.  Stretching vertically, I gain more field of view, while stretching horizontally, I just gain the same wasted white space that has always happened.

Would there be a way that we could choose between the two layouts?  Have some customization options?  I really do like slick, new things, but It would be nice to be able to shrink it, at least.

Oh, I restricted it to the smallest size of 1280x720 but I can allow shrinking more and just take space from the tactical map view. The TAB areas would remain the same tho.
