Thanks for the support all.

Turbine just doesn't seem to realize how important part of the UI modding is for MMO's (or any other game, but especially for MMO's). Frosty knew it's value and perhaps his team but now him gone (?) it isn't looking good. There's a huge amount of work hours spent on those skins that the community has made. It would be just plain stupid to throw that all away.

At the moment at least I am pretty demoralized continuing the skinning as there's no official replies are they going to kill the skinning all together. We have wished for years for simple improvements but nothing. At least they have been following up what the community have done looking at the crafting panel for example that is almost an exact copy of one mod posted long ago in lotrointerface.com.

I see there might be a light at the end of the tunnel - this is only guessing but it might be that given enough time (probably years ) the UI could be redone completely by Lua scripting. That's just guessing though.

Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for what we have had and that we have been given a chance to skin the UI over the years. But I just hope a bit respect for the skinning community from Turbine.

We will see but I have a bad feeling about the future of skinning. If they only would give as a simple answer is skinning still "supported", yes or no would be at least something (pref. yes )
