There is a new control to toggle visibility of the Player window in the Window Manager. Give it a try and let me know if it gives you any trouble.

Ok thank you, that gave me a good place to start from.

Is it possible/even recommended to disabled to standard player window and use only the extender version? Or is that not the intended use?

As the help tab for the player window says, it duplicates a lot of the information in a more logical way. I'm not sure I need duplicates of my player/pet/target/ToT info.

The window on the left is the standard player window. The one on the right is the extended player window. Both can show self > target > implied target, and the extended player window can be configured to appear only during combat. Click the blue gem in the upper left-hand corner of either window to configure.

On my fresh install of DarqUI using the unified installer app and auto setup, I get the following strange UI with double target UIs.

PERFECT!!! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Now I just need to figure out who's merc window I was using as I "thought" my whole UI was yours with the exception of the chat windows an dressing room (which randomly allows the use of the mouse wheel for zooming.

Thanks a lot Darq. I appreciate ya jumping on that.

Also, here is a smaller version of the merc window. Have not decided how to offer it on the updater yet.


DarqUI Mercenary Window small version

Make sure you're using the DarqUI mercenary window -- mine does not show health/mana percentages, only bars. This may also be the answer to the other issue with the dropdowns.

I noticed a minor glitch in the merc window which is recurring. When I set Follow, Protect or Assist to my char and then close that drop down window, a few seconds later the settings are cleared to "None". However, if I keep that drop down open, the settings remain set to whatever I have selected.

On a side note: Is it possible to; via some setting, to "not" show the merc's health/power percentage? For me the bars are enough as this window is secondary (at-a-glance) for me and I do not focus on it a lot.

I pretty much keep any window not needed, closed and those that need to be open, small. I run dual 27" monitors and like to see the game as much as possible.

You're not missing anything, even the default browser crashes enough to be annoying. Check for updates with the utility, then right-click on the gear icon next to the browser. Make sure you are using the "Lite" version which is the basic default browser with a few frame features that don't contribute to the crashing.

If it's still giving you trouble, right-click and delete the browser line in the utility. This will load the default window on your next login. I have gotten out of the habit of using the internal browser if I'm in a raid or some situation where I can't afford to risk crashing.

Every time I open the browser window thru the UI, about 3 minutes later my game crashes. Is there something that I am missing in set up to keep this from happening?

Thanks!

You can right-click the Savagery bar, go to Window Settings and choose Frame and Titlebar: None. This will remove all the gold tinsel and graphics and leave you with just the bar. I can't make it much smaller than that.

For a threat meter with no extra bells and whistles, I would recommend using the default. Check for updates with the utility, then right-click and delete the Threat window. Check the "Skip" box so the custom version does not get downloaded again.

That is nice looking. If you can figure out how to switch to Arial reliably, I'm sure I can do something with it in the UI or in the utility.

Sorry. i meant was a smaller version of the Savagery window. Is it possible to make an easier version of the threat window?, like a threat meter without the rest?

As you know, EQ2 comes with two fonts, The standard font and the Small Sans Serif Font.

Standard:

Small Sans Serif Font:

But occasionally, by accident a 3rd font will appear that is vastly better looking than both:

At a guess it looks like it's somehow defaulting to Arial.
If this could be an option in DarkUI it would be fantastic!
