Below is obsolete, there is a way to get old UI back.
Now the issue is just showing it in [k]eybindings menu or such.
So uhm... How can I not see this said more? Is there actually some reason people like the new UI better?
Compare these:
new
old
1. Okay first of all... why is there my class and race? Uh... like, do I forgot them? Do you... want to see your race and class all the time? Why not your birthsign there, or how old are you, or how fast you are moving... oh that would be actually useful.
2. These are obviously necessary. PV, DV, HP and PP are the vital functions of your PC. And they were displayed in the old one too! No complaints there.
3. What. The. Forest?? Instead of bottom screen status indicators with
WRITTEN STATUS there, we get this. A 1 letter indicator that you are hungry. '?'. Or a number that you are burdened. WHAT? Well at least there is the location there, that's cool... but again, that should be there.
4. New message buffer. Okay, I'm beginning to like it actually. Too bad it often displays the last lines of conversation, meaning you still have to :m to see what was actually said. Why isn't there the old conversation system. [more] and stuff?
So if these are not issues to be changed, then could there be at least an option to use the old-style UI?
