Custom Window
 

There's no way to make a custom window right? A window that sets out by itself and doesn't interfere with anything else.. I'd like to make something like that, since the coin display has been removed from Fetish.

If you include it in eq2ui_custom.xml it will only "interfere" with other custom UIs, if at all, but never with the default UI. See e.g. ProfitUI for examples.

How do you actually make a 'window'?

Well, you start off by making a file for it, for example eq2ui_custom_mywindow.xml. You then edit eq2ui_custom.xml and add an include for that window (ie, add: <include>eq2ui_custom_mywindow.xml</include>).

After that, you edit the new window file you made to include whatever you want. I recommend starting with an existing window if you don't know a lot about the UI, but either way you have to start with the <?xml ?> tag that you see in all of the UI files, then a <Page> (and at the end, </Page>) container that everything goes inside of. (The <?xml tag is self closing, i.e. it doesn't have a corresponding end tag anywhere).

If you could tell us what you would want this window to do, we might be able to help a bit more.

I'm just trying to make an independent window that displays coin and weight.. ideally the window would be movable; that's the ismodule parameter correct?

Well, my window may or may not be outdated, but you can check it for reference. It's got coin and weight, and it's a custom window:

There's also this one:

I used the fetish interface as reference for a window and added the coin and weight to it. It's working nicely, thanks everyone!
