This is an updater for the current UI version, and it's all you will need to download from this site. The utility will download the UI files onto your computer. If you're starting from scratch, take a look at this video for a quick walk-through.

Aeudian, thank you! I appreciate your comments. I also like the idea of having the search filters out front. In fact when I was originally working on the Broker mod I struggled with some different ways to handle the filters without a pop-up, but everything made the window too cluttery even though it was marginally more functional. The new Reset button on the main window strikes a fair form/function balance -- it lets you check and reset the filters, which eliminates two of the three reasons for having to interact with the filter pop-up.

Darq, this has to be one of the best UI's in the game. It as features unlike any UI I have seen and I have been playing since 2004.

I do have a customizing question which I don't see to have an option for. Is it possible to the advanced search options of the broker loaded in the main broker window similar to ProfitUI? I find myself always going into those options and would love them to be listed on the main broker window.

Thanks!

Hi LittleMagica, the Call Servant and Shrink Servant spell buttons now use spell ID numbers to work with all clients including non-US. Thanks for the heads-up!

The New Pet Pull is very good...but the new buttons for Pet Shrink and Call pet dont work

Reira, if the custom UI is not showing up when you log in, type /loadui in the chat window then pick the UI from the list. You should only have to do this once.

I understand that people have expressed an issue with the UI not really showing up when they load up EQ2, I just happen to be another one of those individuals. I've already ensured the folder is no longer read-write, I've tried deleting and reinstalling, and my EQ2 client is also a recent re-installation. I am not entirely sure if I missed something...?

Thanks in advance.

Carthington, the theme switcher is copying and moving files between the folders, so make sure you have read/write access to everything. This is not the same as running as administrator -- even an administrator can't write files that are read-only.

Right-click the main DarqUI folder, go to Properties, uncheck "Read-only" and let it set all files and folders inside DarqUI for read-write. I've had one other user that ended up with read-only themes. The only thing I can figure is that somebody else was downloading the theme files at the same time, so the second download was flagged read-only. If this doesn't work, delete all the theme folders and re-download.

Darq, for some reason its not keeping my theme settings...

Degra, thank you for your comments! I'm glad you're enjoying the UI. The equipment and appearance gear slots have not been viewable with the dressing room for a while now, even using the default UI. I just logged into the Test server a minute ago to see if this had been fixed, but unfortunately it has not. My only suggestion would be to send a /feedback or /bug report in-game and hope the developers will restore the functionality.

Hello Darq! As many others have said before me, your UI & UI Utility is absolutely AMAZING! The level of detail and the time and thought you put into it is certainly not wasted on us It makes my gaming experience more rewarding and enjoyable.

I am having a minor issue though : In order to view my equipped gear in the dressing room window, I either have to right click and choose "examine" and view from that window or I have to unequip the item and view it from my bag. I can view everything else just fine, just not anything in my Persona Window. I've verified that all files are up to date.

I appreciate any help you can offer

For me personally, I dont really care if coins are draggable. I guess I just like to see how much $ I have at my disposal. I'm like that in real life too lol. Funny how I never actually have any to spend

Darqwood

Thank you Belexes and utaeladil, I really appreciate the compliments.

Belexes, adding a coin display page to the XP bar is a good idea, and it should be do-able. As far as actually dragging and dropping coin to/from the page, I'll have to experiment with that. At first glance I'm a little worried about accidental coin loss if the display is active. I'm already working on a page switcher for the new Guild XP bar, so the coin page can go into the same update. The utility will need to be adjusted to get full control of both the new features, but I want to wait until after the Skyshrine GU before publishing another version.

Utaeladil, I've never really worked on a default layout primarily because there are so many screen resolutions and user preferences for where to locate the various windows. As much as possible, I've kept the custom window footprints the same as their default counterparts, the assumption being when a player first loads up DarqUI they already have everything positioned to their liking. Let me take a stab at a default layout, and if it seems like it would be useful I'll publish it.

First, thanks for a WONDERFUL UI...like many other comments, it has so very much of what we need and so very little of what we don't!

In the past, most of the custom UI's I have played with all came with a default SERVER_PLAYER_EQ2_UISETTINGS.XML of some sort. I had no issues getting your UI installed, it was one of the easiest ones (especially with the video). However, I do not see any uisettings.xml included. I realize that this is an optional piece, but my tabs were (and still are) a bit cluttered when it comes to combat spam. I noticed in your screenshots that you have a very nice looking tab layout and icon placement.

I was wondering if it would be possible for you to include (or point out where we may be able to find) a default uisettings.xml file that is recommended to work best with your UI.

Thanks again for all of the great work so far! If you could provide a sample, that would be fantastic!
