Don't forget to add a feature that could let us choose through several "skins". I mean, pick a directory for views but give opportunity to pick one through several "images" directories to skin it.

That should be possible to do using the wizard.
Something like this:

Skins
Select the skin you want to use

1) Stonerune dark
2) Stonerune light
3) Stonerune gold

Some ideas:

by choosing several skins, is it possible to actually choose between several parts of the UI, not 'global skins'. For example, the user install the Core version of the UI, but can choose between several portraits (left), or several castbars, custom pointers ...etc...

that could be awsome...

Bombata, I believe that is the plan if I undserstand correctly what I've talked with Az about before.  I can't wait for this so I can finally release a whole UI package.  What I'm looking to do is to let the user select "I want the blue XP bar, the red PVP bar, not the minimap or loadscreens, the 2 bar version with the skull player portrait, and the G13 layout on the right".  It needs to also have the option of not allowing certain combinations such as "you can't have the 3 bar version and the G13 extra bars (because the hotkeys are the same)."  My understanding is that it will be up to the UI developer to specify which options work together or should be excluded.

Have you sent out beta keys yet?  ;)

Hehe, nope no keys yet

It will work just as you describe Bombata.
It might be a bit more difficult to make the AOCUIInstaller.xml file though...
I am thinking as hard as I can regarding that and will hopefully find a good solution for it

Awsome...

Well, if the installer.xml is gettin complicated, we just need a good documentation

Later,

Awsome ^^
But the video don't seems to work (only a few kilobytes is weird...)

Hmm the video works ? its a very small video (10 secs)
It only shows the wizard in action with 2 options

Freddie

Nice!  So the video started with some of the "advanced" options?  Can't wait to see more.

Well, I call them advanced options because the users can skip them if they want.
It is up to you guys to choose good defaults for each option group.
Foreach option group (like minimap location) you can set a default selected option.
This will let users install the UI's fast if they like your defaults.
They can press "Finish" at any time while in the wizard!
