Oh boy, a lot to respond to.

First let me say, sorry for slow updates/fixes as I've been enjoying playing so kind of been playing more then modding:/

Wish SOE would allow you to change the colors of the windows w/o having to use the UIbuilder, but oh well. Would it be possible to please, please, please change the chat window background back to black???

Thanks
You should be able to make the background of the text area darker by inc the background opacity in window settings.

Anyway, on to the issue at hand... When dooing a crafting rush order, the timer almost completely obscures the view of the top item to be made. Normally I just do all the items below first and then just guess at what the top one must be, but I've gotten it worng, and it costs valuable time.
Thanks!
I haven't made any changes or added any crafting windows (yet) so that must be an issue with default unless I am misunderstanding you.

Right now I am just selecting the hot bar I want to use for the moment and then turning the selector off (AKA the Spinner).

Also the background box on the right side (where all the hot bars are) seems to be missing.

Ummm, where is the EQ2 button, I can't locate it?

BTW I am using 1600x1024
I normally just set my hotbars and turn off the selector and forget about them. I'll look into finding a good place where they will be out of the way.

The background was the real maintained window. Being I've included a real maintained window the background needs to be remade. It's on the todo list.

ROFL I guess I should of posted this. Over over your class icon just over the casting bar. That is now your start button.

Thanks!
Oh yeah, my eqII button in game has been gone since the GU as well. Thanks for your tireless effort with this...I've looked at other UI's for fun and they still haven't updated to be compatible!
Delete all yes ALL foreign files. You can do this by going into settings on the AUCP. It will tell you all files that are foreign to the current eXtreme build.

Hmm I'll look into that.

pardon my typos i had a cigerette in one hand and a soda in the other

ok truth be told im 33 and suck at spelling
First off don't ever hold back

I understand where you are cumming from trust me. Trust me I wouldn't of changed much if i didn't have to. But most of the windows that changed was changed because I was forced to by SOE. The skin isn't any thing but graphic files, while the windows them self are the meat of the UI.

Hotbar: Numbers can't be hid any more because of the way SOE changed the bags. Well they can be hid, but you lose the charge display of items with charges.

Chat: THe chat window was *blush* thrown together at the last min and your all are using a work in progress.

I've never noticed turning off one maintain would turn off the other one also. I used two this time around for buffers. With AA's the small one below the target just don't have enough room IMHO.

SOE just made some little changes that made me have to do a lot of changes. I thank you for being a loyal user and eXtreme will be tweaked and fixed. It's just going to take take for me and other authors figure out hacks to work around some of the new hard coding.

I can't spell worth crap either, thank goodness I found a spell check for my browsers else no one would be able to read what I typed lol.
