One can really hope that all this legal stuff didn't discourage you @Archaic to finish this mod. Of all mods for BGEE I'm waiting for, Your GUI is no. 1.
Lets take a quick poll and see how much of an interest there is in this mod before I move forward. Give this comment a 'LIKE' if you want to see BETA 7.0 for BG:EE. If there is enough interest then I will think about continuing development. Thanks.
@Archaic take my likes, all of them, every single last one. Moderators, please add my 295 likes to Archaic's post... this fantastic work must be resumed
@Aedan: check page 65, first comment. Archaic hasn’t been all to motivated lately, which is understandable considering the situation with BGEE... This thread has been way to quite in the last weeks, even with BGEE on hold. I think he just wants some reassurance if it’s worth putting more time into this.
I can’t wait to see the combination of the new renderer and UI possibilities and the talent of Archaic!
Back to the GUI:
Despite many critics I really like what Beamdog has done with BG. Except one thing: their UI is really a shame on the PC. With the new patch, maybe one day there is an UI with transparent windows. Or even in the more distant future: a UI for 1080p plus resolutions which combines the map with the questlog, the inventory with the stats and both of the spellbooks *dreaming*
@Staglord The next patch will come with a new UI. The renderer is being rewritten to improve performance and solve problems in both Intel Graphics chips and mobile devices.
Speechless. I really appreciate the support guys. After such a long layover I really wasn't sure if there was much interest anymore. I'm going to take a look at things and figure out where I left off. I don't have as much free time was I did when I started but I will do my best to get back to development as soon as I can. Thanks for the support everyone!
@Archaic to tell You the truth You have spoiled me so much with previews of 7.0 BETA that I think I won't play BGEE anymore until You finish it. So no pressure:) Seriously I can't wait for this.

The GUI shown in the BGEE 2 Video looked, well... interesting. At least when it comes to them using the transparency.. Cant wait to see youre approach on this. I think there is a lot of room for improvements.
Yes, me and my family which multiplayer together have been holding our collective breathes...hoping for direction on BG's future, and now that the green light for the next patch and BG2 and hopefully BG3 are a go we are excited. I find the Archaic GUI for BG:EE is a must for me and my family, have since it is so wickedly awesome.
I found a bug: in game options -> marker settings (the one that controls the appearance of circles under characters), the topmost slider cannot be changed. It seems the description text is overlapping with the slider area. Using 1366x768 resolution.

Another minor nuisance is the low contrast between the spell book and spell icons, some of the spells being hardly visible. If you can increase the contrast it would be perfect.
To be fair, I'm not sure what there is to say until the patch is out. The UI changes seem pretty drastic so maybe Archaic just can't post pictures because of the NDA?
