Trinity UI options

What are the new User Interface options in EVE Trinity?

New UI options are now available with the release of EVE Trinity, while old settings were adjusted.

• The target origin icon

This small crosshair icon is only available after you first lock an object. It should be displayed by default in the upper-left corner of your overview. It allows you to control the locked icons rack position and shape. Left-click, drag and drop the icon to change the rack position. Right-click it to lock or switch from horizontal to vertical display.

• Multiple window selection

The shift button works wonders in the new UI, you can shift+drag, shift+click or even drag, hold then hit shift to snap the windows into the same formation. Shift+click on the pin/unpin makes all the windows in that stack be affected by that one click, shift+drag on the border of an unpinned or unlocked stack of windows does the same thing. Shift+drag or drag, hold+shift can be used to move stacks of windows together or move one and then snap all the other ones into place in the same spots as they were before in relation to the one that was moved.

• Resizing windows

If you only want to modify the windows grouped below the one you are resizing or moving you can use CTRL in the same way as SHIFT. All windows below the one you are modifying will be affected instead of the whole stack.

• Pinning windows down

Windows position won't be locked by default anymore when clicking the "pin" option. To enable this, please press "ESC", go to “General settings”, then tick the "lock windows when pinned" option.

• Chat channel timestamps

The channel timestamp option has been removed from the "General settings" menu. To toggle this option, right-click the upper-left display box on a chat channel and select "Toggle Timestamp".

• Resetting window positions to default

If a game window can't be selected by mouse-clicking, try first to select it by pressing CRTL+TAB to switch the active selection. If that doesn't work, you can reset the window positions back to default by pressing ESC, then choosing the "Reset settings" tab and pressing the "reset to default window positions" button.

• Miscellaneous window behaviour

All window positions and settings are now saved through relog and session changes, even switching between resolutions on the fly should never result in unexpected window positions. In the previous version of the UI, TAB would refresh the overview by minimizing it; in the new UI the TAB key minimizes all open windows (not modal windows) and maximizes them again unless one of them has changed states in between. This allows you to quickly switch between different view modes, minimize everything, double click select windows that you want to keep an eye on.
