Rift: Customizing Your UI and Controls UPDATED

The online Rift manual has a section about the UI (pp. 12-24) that explains your action bars, the various panels (character, guild, raid panels, etc.) and more.

However, the best overall UI explanation I've found is on This Is Not A Rift's website as it covers clearly how to customize your UI.

This article covers camera controls, movement, interacting with objects, describes the maps, and goes into great detail about various  combat actions that are exclusive to various classes.

RiftLift.com is a site dedicated to customized UIs in the game.
http://riftlift.com/

They will allow folks registered on their site to submit their UIs to the site so others (you may have to register to download but this is not clear) can download it to a character. I believe Rift makes it easy to copy the UI you have set up for one character to your other characters.

UPDATE: Is Your Camera Wonky After Patch 3.3?

Here is a possible fix for a camera that won't look where you want it to.

More information.  WOW Wiki says the Patch 3.2 default camera view was "only horizontal when moving" and that the Patch 3.3 default camera view is now "only when moving."

UPDATE:  Apparently this has been hot fixed, at least now one needs to have the camera set to the Patch 3.3 default camera view of "only when moving."  Resetting the default to Patch 3.2's is now causing the Solo MMO Player to have camera problems.  So he's now using the Patch 3.3 default.  In other words, using the Patch 3.2 default removed the issues initially but now you need to use the Patch 3.3 default for the camera as new issues cropped up.  Sorry for the confusion!
