UI Changes Introduced In The Latest OSRS Update
The anniversary update introduces the long-awaited Mobile UI changes, adding new features and refining existing ones.
The update to the game’s HUD places the logout button in the top-left corner, where you can switch worlds.
The most noticeable change in the new UI is that all your familiar stones are now positioned on the right-hand side in two separate columns.
The first column features panels for high-intensity gameplay, while the second column holds tools used less frequently.
Long-pressing the chat button lets you toggle chat filters, select the chat type, and report players from the same menu.
Another feature is the hotkeys, similar to the F-keys on the regular desktop version.
You can find it in the bottom-left corner of the screen, where you can assign a wide range of actions.
Long-pressing the button will provide more options, allowing you to set custom hotkeys or create custom layouts.
Menu Entry Swapper Added To OSRS
The Menu Entry Swapper lets you swap the default right-click/single-tap options with any other options.
You can swap the interactable elements of NPCs and other entities and remove less-used menu options.
Jagex acknowledged several bugs and issues with the feature and stated they would solve them with a cold fix.
Currently, if you turn on NPC Tags or Tap-to-Drop, you won’t be able to see the Menu Entry Swapper.
Similarly, you cannot reorder the “build” option on Construction hotspots with the Menu Entry Swapper.
