Self explanatory, I'm just curious because I change mine often and enjoy changign it up every once in a while.

Here's what I used to have

Then

And here's what I changed it to

The travel channel was made because I can't fap while typing, so I decided to be creative :D

You have too many chat windows. Try consolidating all but local into one and you'll save a lot of space.

Step one to helping to cure the UI for CCP: Do something about the drone window. We don't need an entire window for that ****. They're weapons, put them as a special weapon module or something, but we just do NOT need an entire window for it.

Your UI is still far too cluttered.

Here's mine. Fleet, Drones, etc all go in the top left.

my EVE UI

* overview presets are a slightly modified version of Brother Bentor's overview pack), I hate colors.
* if nothing special is going on I have the following overviews loaded (disregard column headings): all hostiles, hostile light tackle/support, friendly capitals (or all celestials), Salvaging, PvE
* "Show all Brackets" is always on, no special readout on brackets,
* transversal velocity is on the column to the right of velocity and hidden in this screenshot - I draw the overview window out to the left (covering part of the local window) when I need it
* dscan has no fixed place and just goes wherever is convenient, usually on top of other windows
* I always use the tactical overlay, I need to see where I am in relation to the rest of the world Blink
* One day hiding passive modules will get me killed because I will burn out a shield extender without noticing - but i like things to be tidy.

Thanks for that. I just found out I could change the tag colours now Alliance is a different colour to blues!

I don't like clutter lol. I like having local there so that I can change the size for what I need.

Ok, so how do you move the targeted items around, i.e. the to lower part of the screen or place them in the vertical positions?

I dunno about that. When I'm in a Rattlesnake with 5 drone groups in my bay, I'm happy to have a nice big window.

I heard on a podcast that this guy had a great idea.
Drones would be controlled like a gun, press button drones go out, right click on button and change active "flight of drones" like loading ammo. Would be awesome when used in conjunction current drone keyboard hotkeys.

Let me guess you never used a carrier right?
That would make controlling the drone groups near to impossible.

Can you please tell me how you have your tabs labelled in big coloured text like that on the overview?

Thanks!

HTML in the labels.

Here's an example:

< color=0xFF81D96E >< fontsize=16 >< b >General< /b >< /fontsize >< /color >

Ignore the spaces, these forums don't like HTML. It can be annoying to do, the window you're typing the name into is tiny.

Here's some hex colors. If you aren't familiar with HTML, the 0x symbolizes "the following numbers are in hexadecimal", and you then input a number from that list's Hex column, without the #.

There is a tiny almost invisible crosshair icon somewhere along the top of the target icon, grab that with the mouse and pull
the icon to where you want it.

I follow a set up similar to the one posted on the EvE Altruist, d-scan and people & places down in the bottom right for quick access and so on.
