Installation of S & M:

First, do you know how to to install a Custom UI? S&M has a Customized and Default folder to merge (do not delete the old!)

If that above statement confused you, let's break it down for the beginner.

1. Find your AOC folder. [C:/Program Files/Funcom/Age of Conan/
2. Navigate into the folder that holds the Customized folder. This is in [C:/Program Files/Funcom/Age of Conan/cd_image/Gui/]
3. Drag and Drop the folders [Customized] and [Default] in the file you downloaded to the /Gui/ folder.
4. Answer any pop-up with Overwrite/Merge with Yes.
4. Launch game!

Please, please note that if you DELETE the old folders you will be forced to patch and re-download over 900mb of data back into your Default folder- So be SURE of what you are doing.

Tips!:

1. Use interface settings to gain more minimalism.
2. You can hide the Minimap, Clock, and other elements via the Options. Don't ask me to remove them unless they can't already be removed otherwise!
3. Give feedback! I use it to shape the next release and helps to get differing opinions on what should and shouldn't be (re)moved.
4. Tested on a Widescreen at 1680x1050, let me know of display issues please.

Known Issues:
-Screens for Quest, Attributes, Inventory not perfect yet.
-No reskin on Team Frame.
-Minimap not fully right justified.
-You can't use the second Extra hotbar built into AOC, the bottom row uses these buttons.
-If you use the TripleBar patch you will not be able to use either.
