SWTOR User Interface Guide

This SWTOR User Interface Guide is designed to help new players and returning veterans learn what every piece of the UI does and how to use them!

Introduction

The SWTOR User Interface (UI), also known as Heads Up Display (HUD) is the combination of graphics, windows and modules you see on your screen while you play.

This guide is designed to help the new player get a good understanding of the game’s UI modules and features. What each one of them is for, how to navigate through the menus and windows and, of course, how to speed-up your introduction process to the game!

The UI consists of several main and supplementary modules. Each one of them can be modified and moved to better fit your personal needs.


If you want to customize your SWTOR User Interface, this can be done from the Interface Editor tool, which is accessible from a number of places, including the Main Menu, the left side of the main toolbar and the menu bar at the top of your screen.

You can move, resize, tweak and customize a lot of aspects for a lot of the UI elements. By clicking on a module you will see the specific editable elements of that module in the Interface Editor tool.

Customizing your UI will take time and practice until you tweak and set up every single main or secondary element to fit with everything else.

Available pre-installed SWTOR Interfaces

The game arrives on your PC with a number of Interfaces preinstalled and automatically pre-configured already.

When you log in for the first time you will most likely see one of these pre-installed Interfaces. For now, let’s just take a look at the available variations.

I have created a custom SWTOR UI[vulkk.com], suitable for high-resolution displays. It's clean, non-intrusive and informative.

To switch between the available SWTOR Interfaces, click on the little plus icon on the left side of the main ability toolbar, as shown below:


Alternatively you can access the Interface Editor from the main in-game menu by pressing ESC and from the menu line on the top.

Elements of the SWTOR Interface

Next we'll take a closer look at each of the UI's elements and explain what they do, how to use them and why. Some of these elements you may not be able to use right from the beginning of your journey. You will unlock them as you play.

If you prefer the written version, check out my SWTOR User Interface: The Complete Guide[vulkk.com] available on VULKK.com.

While I can't update the video for every little new feature or change that BioWare introduces from time to time, the written version of the guide is always up-to-date.
