This video was created on a Mac booting MacOS 15.1.1 running LOTRO using a commercial version of WINE known as Crossover (v24.0.5). This video was recorded with Quicktime Player on a 4k (3840x2160) monitor set for 2048x1152 with the game in Full Screen Windowed Mode and all graphics settings at maximum (except Antialiasing at 4x and Anisotropic Filtering at 4). If you have a Mac and wish to run LOTRO, there are a number of different ways to do so and most of them are free.

You can make adjustments to other UI elements by unlocking your UI and moving things around with your mouse to suit your personal preferences. Then save your own .layout file to load into your other characters by using the chat command: /ui layout save I use my own custom skin which only makes the Main Map smaller and sets it to its intended aspect ratio, which allows about 3/4 of the screen to remain visible while examining the main map; and makes the Dressing Room panel larger so that cosmetic outfits can be previewed more easily. You can get my skin here: www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=1124 I use the plugins BuffBars (visible in this video) and Travel Window II, and when playing a Warden I also use WardenEase2.
