I would like for the background for my raid and group window to be solid black and not the gradient black at the top to clear at the bottom, can you give me a tip on how to change this?


BTW, absolutely fantastic UI mod, I positively love it!

Hello! I just registered to thank you for this beautiful UI you've made. It's made it a lot easier on my eyes as far as gaming goes and it just looks really great. I hated the yellow everywhere and I have to say it's a breath of fresh air now that it's all gone.

I have to ask about the Casting and Exp./AA/Tradeskill Bar tho. I'm sorry if this has been covered, I looked through and could not find anything that talked about them specifically. I may have missed it all together, reading stuff online can sometimes cause a small headache for me. My problem is when I cast, I see no progress I only see the outline of the bar. I also don't see any advancement on my Exp. Bar either. I wasn't sure if you had made the Exp. like that on purpose or not and that isn't a huge problem for me. The Casting/Air Bar is somewhat of a problem as I am a healer for my friend (we're really new to EQII and just run around together all day lol) and not being able to see the progress in the bar is a little frustrating.

I am having the same issue also with this skin pack. I'm going to start moving in and out files to see what happens.

I guess we can all assume that, after two years without an update after your last post, that this skin is no longer supported. Sad, I just decided to use it today and love it, but with XP and cast bars being invisible and no update in sight, I can't see continuing to use it or to recommend it to others.

Hey! About time i visited this site again. Really sad to read that my skin is outdated but at the same time it's encouraging that people still looking for an new version. As i mentioned (a few years ago hehe) i no longer play Everquest 2, although that really shouldn't keep me from updating it.

So, the other day i was talking to a friend of mine that started to play again and the memory of my old skin came back to me. I quickly installed the new Free to Play version through Steam and was up and running in no time. Did a few tests with the skin and sure enough it's pretty outdated. SOE added various stuff and moved things around resulting in "see through" invisible interface sections.

Starting today, i am in the process of getting the files up to date. Have made some progress already and things look promising. If nothing big turns up i should have it ready for you guys in a couple of days.

Mind you, since i don't play any longer i can only evaluate the interface on a basic level. What i can't do is make sure all raid and endgame related stuff is working. Hopefully someone can point out flaws that i miss.

If everything goes as planned i'll be back with the v1.05 sooner than later.

EDIT: Well, i am back and this time with an updated skin. I spent a few hours going over the files and incorporated the things that where missing. So now the skin should be usable as long as SOE don't add or move things around again. Time will tell how long that will take.

Anyway, i only added the things missing and didn't really have the time to apply any custom Vanguard graphics to it. But trying it out i think it's not that big of a deal. Hopefully i can devote some resources in the future to enhance it further.

Also, being a nut for details i did see a few areas where the buttons where broken. Although, the same skin used on other buttons and things looked fine, so in some remarks i blame SOE.

Hope this will bring a smile to some players out there. I will try and check back in here more regularly in the future.

As always, thanks again for your support!

Just wanted to say I just noticed you updated, so I've downloaded and installed. I love it, man. It's awesome. Thank you.

So I looked around a bit on this (the last comment being back in 2013 ) and at first, I just thought: "ooh hey a really cool Skin." And I've used it ever since then. But after a while I got to thinking, is this skin still getting updates? So I signed up on the spot, and got to typing this out to ask.

Hey, awesome Dev person ^.^ I really like your mod for this game and I'm not sure if this is still a 100% working for the game here in the future of 2017. But Can I ask you if we can get an update of some kind? Pretty please??

Hey there awesome Player person! Well, it's finally that time of the century when i post an update! Only took me 7 years but here goes!

I hoped this was just a small quick fix but it turned into quite a big project. Needed to go over and update just about every file. A lot of things changed in seven years, who would have thought..

Not sure how active the playerbase is these days and i know there are other Skins like DarqUI that have loads of features. But hopefully, VanGurk is still useful for some of you out there that just want a alternative Skin to the Default one.

Anyway, Enjoy!
