Hotkey Button Labels

Does anyone know how to get rid of these since the EoF patch? I knew how to delete them before the patch but the xml file doesn't seem to list the labels anywhere now so that I can delete them. Are they now in a different file? For everything else I can wait for one of you experts to get a new ui working, but these labels drive me nuts.

They are hardcoded can not be removed. Yes, I want them gone as well, or atleast and OPTION to turn them off like the bank selector.

Try this. Author unknown.

As stated in another thread, the best way to rid the hotkey labels is to go into your EQ2 Options and under Control delete all Hotkey assignments. It works!

Unless you actually want to have keybindings for your hotkeys.

then I restate my previous statement ;) because yeah maybe I want to assign keys as well, which I DO but without those nasty labels!!!

Indeed.

I have personally found that removing the Font reference in the IconBank section of the xml works better than living without the keybinds. Since I hate using my mouse for everything I really depend on those keybinds for a lot. I can live without the item count text for the time being so I don't have to have the cluttered text all over the hotbars.

It also seems that when you reduce the size of the icons the text doesn't do the same so you end up with huge overlapping text on smaller icons. It just doesn't work well.

They really need to add this option in the game itself as a final solution.

I was playing around with the default hotkey window, and changed the "TextMargin" in the IconBank to 50,50,50,50 and it appears to have moved the labels out of site on the icons.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Page BackgroundColor="#00FF00" clientmarginFrame="10,10,5,10" clientmarginNone="10,10,5,10" eq2usescomwndcontrols="true" Location="60,707" MaximumSize="1024,1024" MinimumSize="70,60" Name="Hotkey" PackLocation="left,bottom" PackLocationProp="0060/0001,-061/0001" ScrollExtent="544,62" Size="544,62" UserMovable="true" UserResizable="true" version="2.0" version_note="Replaced volume page continaing icons with iconbank">

</Page>

<IconBank BackgroundOpacity="1.000" Dragable="true" Font="/TextStyles.Normal.NormalStyle" FrameColor="#B5935A" IconStyle="/IconStyles.button" Location="29,10" Name="Icons" PackSize="a,a" PackSizeProp="0039/0001,0019/0001" RenderLabel="false" RenderFrame="true" ScrollExtent="505,43" Size="505,43" TextColor="#FFFFFF" TextMargin="50,50,50,50" TreatAsButton="true"/>

What about charge counter on the icons, they are moved as well out of sight?

err, i didn't check that. but i would say most likely. I don't have anything on that toon with charges to test it.

I stuck a stack of shells ont he hotbar, and the amount did not show for them.

Instead of moving the text out of site why not just remove the following line from the IconBank?

Font="/TextStyles.Normal.NormalStyle"

Works just as well. Although it does remove the Item Charges text as well, which hopefully someone will eventually figure out how to keep.

Maybe some of the TextMargin settings relate to keybind text while others relate to item charges?

Personally, I like having the labels. I like having that friendly reminder when I need it.
