I welcome you to the beeUI modifications!
First of all the idea behind these UI modifications is to produce the correct results while changing the least amount of files.
There's lots of great custom UI's currently available, but lots of them contain custom graphics, lots of modified .xml files, and require more work when it comes to installing, uninstalling, and problems that happen every time Funcom decide to change the UI number which breaks all the custom .xml files included within the modification.
So I have created a couple of single file UI modifications, from the simpler Clear Message, to the popular MultiBar (which gives you a 46 slot bottom bar). No custom graphics and only one single file is needed to make this change.
It won't break your current UI layout and it won't destroy the original Age of Conan look and feel.
Anyway, less of the talk. I will let the UI modifications speak for themselves.
MultiBar:
A popular 46 slot shortcut bar with an original Age of Conan look. All slots can be bound to keys if that's your thing, and I've removed the hotbar switching by using only static slots. Also includes your 10k latency counter. Works in all resolutions!

MultiBar Advanced:
The idea behind this hotbar was to free up some room at the sides so people using a widescreen monitor can fit there chatbox next to the MultiBar. I also wanted to increase the slot count over my original MultiBar without making the icons smaller, so I removed the 2nd Extended Action Button slots and used the normal Action Buttons 1-13 instead. You are now free to gain an extra 20 slots at the side of your screen by switching on your Additional Hotbar 2, and allowing you to have up to a total of 53 available free slots!
I also kept with the original plan of keeping it one simple file to install, and every MultiBar slot can still be bound to keys via the in game Controls menu.
Includes your 10k latency counter, Hotbar switching, and also works in all resolutions!

Extended Bar: (Widescreen only)
If your a lucky owner of a widescreen monitor (1440x900 or above) and don't need the elaborate 46 slot MultiBar (above), then why not try a more straight forward extra 8 slots added to the original hotbar. It won't change your current bar setup, or look out of place as it keeps the same graphic style.

Clear Message:
A simple modification which I created a long time ago. This one just removes the black bars behind on-screen messages to make the screen feel less cluttered from text spam when looting items or other on-screen messages.
