Edited by Elfheart for ROI Expansion.
===============================================
I am leaving most of what Aurickle has already mentioned because I echo many of the same sentiments that he/she has. With the Rise of Isengard release and now Riders of Rohan due out in the fall it was unthinkable to let this UI be forgotten.

Many, many thanks to the artists who have come before me with this project!  Eorlingas has always been one of my all-time favorite UI skins, so updating it is a labor of love.  But I would have been totally lost and uninspired without LedMirage's great work and Dewee's later dedication.  Also thanks to Aurickle and Thayilis I had many more elements skinned without starting from scratch.

The name for the UI Skin "Eorlingas" is right out of the LOTR lore, here follows a brief explanation: In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, the Rohirrim were a horse people, settling in the land of Rohan, named after them. The name is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords (sometimes translated simply as Horse-lords) and was mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves was Eorlingas, after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan. Forth Eorlingas!

Every original image file used in this theme is original art work created by LedMirage using Photoshop CS2 exclusively. As he put it, "I love creating neat stuff for games and I've been doing this as a hobby for more than 10 years! :-)"

Unfortunately, Eduardo appears to no longer play LotRO or at the very least has moved on to other things.  Dewee took over maintenance of the skin for a while, but stopped updating it.  Aurickle doesn't seem to be updating this now either and since I started updating this for myself I thought I would share the finished product.

Over the course of the many game updates since LedMirage first released the interface there were things that were starting to break down and a lot of other new artwork that never got skinned at all.  While this release of it will bring almost every panel up to date.  I intend to work more on this over time and perhaps change a few things once Turbine gives us more of Rohan.

A lot of work has gone into this UI theme, we sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  Thank you for trying it!

USER AGREEMENT:
(Last revised 9/24/2010)
===============================================
If you use any of my work, all I ask for is clear acknowledgement of it in any and all of your descriptions and ReadMe files, that's not much to ask is it?

1. You agree to this agreement by downloading and using any and all files and intellectual property included in this software package. 
2. You agree to NOT discredit any author of any or all of their original software included be it code, graphics, any other assets or intellectual property.
3. You agree to NOT hold any author responsible for any damage, data loss or any problems caused directly or indirectly by this software.
4. You agree to NOT use any material included for monetary gain, as it is against Turbine's EULA agreement and it is NOT your right to make money off of other author's work.
5. You may redistribute any and all files contained in this package ONLY if they remain unmodified, this user agreement is included and proper credit to any and all authors is given.
6. You may modify and redistribute any and all files contained in this compilation ONLY with the expressed written permission of any and all respective authors.
7. If you do not agree to any of the points above then delete any and all files included in this package as well as past and future versions, by doing this you are agreeing to NOT use, modify and redistribute any and all material that is a part of this package for any purpose.

Translation: Do not take my work, use it to make a new skin and then do nothing to acknowledge the use of my work. While it is very flattering to see my work used throughout many other themes and many of you actually acknowledge it in your descriptions (thanks!), it is quite annoying and discouraging to find "new" skins using my work without a single mention of doing so and in some cases even bragging about all original work made from scratch, please do not do this, all it does is detract me from releasing updates more often.

(P.S. I dislike all the legalese stuff, but I've been burned many times before)


===============================================
INSTALLATION
===============================================

1. Exit the game

2. Open the ZIP file containing all the UI Skin files (where you got this readme from!)

3. Extract all the files from the ZIP file making sure the option to "use folder names" is enabled; The folder on your computer you should select as the destination will be: [b]..\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\[/b]
 
4. If Extracted correctly you should now have the following folder path:
		[b]..\My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\ui\skins\Eorlingas Revisited\[/b]

5. All images and the skin definition will be inside this folder ([i]i.e.[b]..\Eorlingas Revisited\[/b][/i]) if extracted properly.

6. Launch the game

7. Once in-game, go to OPTIONS then choose "UI Settings" from the menu on the right, once there scroll down to just above the new UI scale sliders to the UI Settings page and you will find a dropdown list where you can choose the UI Skin to use for that character.

8. Choose Eorlingas (black) from the list.

9. Enjoy!


===============================================
UI CUSTOMIZATION TIPS
===============================================

The UI provides by default five additional Quickslot bars that you can place anywhere on your screen as well as make them horizontal or vertical, to customize them do the following:

1. Go to OPTIONS, then choose "Quicklots" from the menu on the right, once there you will see checkbox options for each of the five additional Quickslot bars, notice that Bar #1 is NOT the default Quickslot bar, it is the first additional bar.

2. Make sure the option to Lock all Quickslots is DISABLED

3. For each Bar Number you wish to customize make sure the DOCK option is DISABLED, docking a bar prevents you from moving it (it goes to it's default position above the standard bar) and prevents using it vertically.

4. Choose the layout for each bar, Horizontal is default, if you want it vertical uncheck the box "Make Horizontal".

5. Exit the options panel.

6. Press CONTROL + \ (that's CONTROL and BACKSLASH) to unlock all screen UI elements.

7. Drag your bars to where you want them.

8. Press CONTROL + \ again to lock all screen UI elements.

9. Voila.
