You can choose which quests show in the Quest window with the checkboxes. I'll look into the tooltip and a possible minimize button, but I feel the checkboxes are sufficient for what you want.

As for the chat input, I'm not sure there is a way to scale this based on Chat Font size, but I will also look into it.

Besides my questions about the quest tracker, I have this one about the chat window.

I use a 23" widescreen at 1920x1060 resolution. It makes the chat font really tiny for me and my poor old eyes. I increased the chat font size and all is good there but the chat edit line - where we actually type our messages on - that's still tiny for me.

Is there a way to change that in game or is this something you could add if you had the time? I couldn't find anything in game to change that.

Thank you Drumstix42.

I noticed that the quest tracker is different after installing your UI.

With the default UI I used to get mouse-over tooltips giving me a brief rundown of the quest; it doesn't do that any more with your UI installed. Did you turn that off as part of your design?

A question about the quest tracker in general, whether it involves your UI or not - I was wondering is there a way to collapse quests to "quest title" only so that you don't see all the miscellaneous steps below it until I am ready to do that quest? It's making me have to scroll the quest tracker a lot to find the quest I am actually working on.

Again I know this may not have to do with your UI at all, just as a new player I was wondering if that was ever an option for us.

Those are just sample layouts I provided that was similar to an older screenshot setup included. They're out-dated.

I'm not sure why you're having trouble with the statbar at the top.


I used to try to auto-hide it, but it was hit or miss, and some people didn't like it. The window is hard-coded by SOE basically, and is limited in how you hide it.

Ive used your Ui for years and love it. Any way to block the annoying start up window in drumsui?

Gossuc

Yeah I had nothing at the top, even checked in F10 mode to make sure.

What about those layout files?

Drumstix42

1. Make sure there isn't another window blocking the stat bar, I use mine all the way at the top.

2. Not feasibly because ALL the elements are sized manually.

Hi.

New player here and I started off with your user interface. I had a question and a couple of comments.

My question is about the download. I got the UI installed okay and all seems well that I can see. I was wondering about those three layout.xml files you included. Where were those supposed to be placed and were we supposed to be able to choose one of those presets somehow?

I wasn't able to figure that out so I had to just move everything myself in game.

Comments:

1. That long "stats" bar of two rows - I wanted that at the top of my monitor but it seems that if it's at the top then the "menu" button is un-clickable unless I move it down about 1/2 an inch. I ended up putting it at the bottom of my screen.

2. Again with the "stats bar" - that font size is really tiny for my poor eyes and widescreen monitor. Any chance we can increase the font size via in-game ui settings?

3. The chat window "toggle chat shadow/text shadow" doesn't seem to save between sessions. EDIT: This saved after the second time I logged out. I guess it's okay now.

I forgot my other questions/comments so I'll just come back later if I can think of them.

Thanks for the UI.

Try opening your character's .XML file in your main EQ2 directory (servername_charname_eq2_uisettings.xml) with notepad and look for the line that starts with:
<Window Name="Player"

Delete that entire line and start the game up. Position your Player window as needed. Camp out and back in and see what happens.

Each day when I log in for the first time, regardless of what character I log in on, my player window is moved. It keeps creeping upward. I move it each time and it just keeps going back. Not really a big deal, just annoying. Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?

I just re-downloaded this but kept a few of my old UI files----However my Stat Bar is showing Crit Mit still, and now there is no button to get rid of it.

Any help?

Drumstix42

Make sure you have the latest update, the permissions and "Update" button should all be there.

As for the number of items, I personally don't know if you can actually make more than 1 yet. Might just be something they added, but didn't put to use yet.

Hi,

I am having an issue with an apparent conflict with the UI. I had to disable the UI in order to change the permissions for my Guild Hall Harvest Depot.

Is there any way that this could be fixed?

I have also noticed that there is a drop down box on the crafting interface for "number of items to be made" that only goes to "1" and now I am wondering if that is actually functional, but the UI breaks it.

For summoners and enchanters they can see their pets casting; however BL warders don't show theirs.

Also in the Character Window, the Modify Specializations button in the Warder tab doesn't work.

Otherwise, great UI!
