First of all, the large XP display is a little funky. The decimal number is cut off and at times, unreadable. There is also extra text that I can't read right before the decimal, but it's actually in the whole number field. It looks like the whole number continues (at the same size) but I can't read it, as it is hidden under the decimal number, which is also cut off.

My next problem is I can't enter new text into my Biography text box. It also appears that I have no biography to me, but in my online EQ2 players web site, there is still the biography that I was able to enter last. I belive this problem started when you provided the updates for LU 18 (maybe 17).

Thanks for all of your hard work, I love this UI!!!
I'm not completely sure but looking at your screenshot it looks like you're running a version that's pre v2.18.x... I'd suggest downloading the latest 'eXtreme' and run that. I haven't had that problem with the XP for a loooooong time

Change this line in you eq2_recent.ini file

FROM: cl_uisettings_file original_uisettings.ini

TO: cl_uisettings_file lucan dlere_sameria_eq2_uisettings.ini
(Where the blue is the name of the ui settings you want to have on all new toons.)

This will work on multiple accounts too. You will need to delete for the first time any uisettings files that allready exist, just besure NOT to delete the one you want to be set for all of the toons.

Credit: Landiin gave us this info in this thread.
I actually never saw that line in my 'eq2_recent.ini' file nor did I see it in my 'eq2.ini' so what I did was this:

1) Open 'Windows Explorer' and open my 'Everquest II' folder.
2) Copy all my '.ini' files and pasted them into a new folder called 'Copy of INI Files'.
3) Logged into EQ2 with my main toon and made sure all my windows were situated the way I wanted them arranged.
4) Logged out of EQ2 and open my 'Everquest II' folder again.
5) Added the line 'cl_uisettings_file server_character_eq2_uisettings.ini' (or whatever the name is for your main toon) to my 'eq2.ini' file (Landiin's idea since he said 'eq2_recent.ini' gets overwritten by SOE)
6) Saved the file, deleted all other copies of the INI files for all my other toons except my main toon.

Now whenever I logon with any of my characters, they all use that file. Even the new toons I created us that main settings file. I love this feature
