Nope, not a mis-post.
I'll try to clarify.
I've imported the server_toon_EQ2_uisettings.ini file into both text and hex editors. I've saved it, changed one window in eq2 and compared the two and the changes aren't logical.
I've tried adjusting the hex of the file, but when I next load eq2, i've inevitably broken the ui_settings and have to start over.
This is not to say that it can't be done, just that it's not as simple as editing a text file.
I'm hoping that someone sees whatever it is that I'm missing.
