Ok,
this is take1 quick-and-dirty, just to get up-and-running with character creation and stuff. Haven't bothered about new functionality or "funky looks" - that's for Zonx to do

.
Do share what you find in the game - if stuff crashes or is broken - not looking funky, but plain broken - the rest of us want to know

.
So here it is, Gumba's dirty three:
- Replace eq2ui_mainhud.xml with the file attached to this post
- Replace eq2ui_popup.xml with the file attached to this post
- Rename or delete eq2ui_newcharscene.xml
That's for the files in the UI/Fetish directory, of course.
Once you've done step three, you'll see a decidedly funky-looking login screen, and character creation will be ugly. But functional. Same for under-20 chars - they'll work, but the class selection screen won't be a beauty.
If the inability to drag inside a hotbar bothers you, you can:
- Live with it and drag from knowledge book while Zonx fixes things
- OR rename or delete eq2ui_mainhud_quickbar.xml
I opted for "live with it". I don't want to have to resize and reposition my hotbars, twice.
