Description
Version 2.0.1
changed for GU29!

Version 2.0.0
The previous release did not make me nearly as happy as I thought it would. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it refused to save anything. So, I rethought the whole process and came up with this release that I think everyone will like better.

Resizable both vertically and horizontally for full-size! Window resizes and saves the size you choose. No, really, it does this time.

Worst thing about this one is the window might load in the wrong position, but first time you mouse over it, it snaps to the proper settings. It's complicated and has to do with how the eq client loads windows, but it doesn't seem too annoying compared with the previous version.

Version 1.1.0
Happy Frostfell!

Following up on the suggestion posted, the first few letters display can now be shut off. Selecting "Frames only" or "None" is no first few letters. "Frames and Title" is the original display from version 1.0.0

Window is now resizable. Vertical changes appear to save. Horizontal doesn't because the window doesn't execute the "OnHide" commands before saving settings and unless you have your mouse hovering over the maintained window when it saves, it's in compact mode.

Anyone who has any ideas on how to get around that issue, please feel free to post.

I'm interested in comments on the new version!

Version 1.0.0
I love the maintained windows that show all the information, but I find them distracting with the amount of screen they occupy.

This was my attempt to get the best of both worlds. I started with someone else's maintained window. Might have been Profit's or Killarny's - I honestly don't remember. Original author, please feel free to claim your work and I'll make sure to update this!

Anyhow, the window shrinks down to only show the first few letters of the maintained spell and target most of the time. Duration was moved over the spell icon so that more of it would show. If you mouse over any part of the window, it expands to full size, showing all the text you could ever want to see.

Icons are 27x27. Font is Ariel Bold 13pt. If you already have an eq2ui_fonts.xml, just insert this line before the </Namespace> instead of overwriting your fonts file:

<TextStyle Algorithm="Bold" FontName="Arial" Language="english" Name="FontBoldArial13" PointSize="13" UseCachedFont="true" />

Unfortunately, you have to edit the file if you want to change the window size, but I play at 1280x1024 and have no problems with the size included. Anything larger should also work.

I have a suggestion for you.

How about putting small numeric timers overlayed on each of the icons showing the timer countdown (if there is one) and making the window just wide enough to show the icons not the first few letters of the names like you do now. then give these overlays a onmouseover attribute of hiding on mouseover. then you can also show this number in the text to the right but only when moused over. Also on your resizing of the parent make it so when you mouse over it only resizes the horizontal width of the window not the vertical as well and leave the whole window as resizable by user. see that way no one has to alter the code to resize the window per their resolution. people will be able to set the vertical height at what they want and have a streamlined maintained window showing only the icons with numerical overlay of the timers very streamlined and when they mouse over then it will expand to show full name of each spell and timer to the right. I think this will be much cleaner looking and more functional.

If I did not explain myself well enough feel free to send me a private message.
I think you have had a great idea here but is in need of a bit of refining.

Really neat idea, but needs two things before I switch:

1) Most importanly it needs a right alignment option.
I always shove these right against right side of screen so I
can't see the popout text when it appears.
If you can't make it do it on auto like default stuff maybe
"Frames only" could be left and "None" could be right or similar.

2) This is a really neat idea so we need an Effects window version
of this too!

Have you tried alt-m to bring the window up and other troubleshooting?

If so, can you PM me an e-mail address that I can send a test version of the UI to you at? If it solves your problem, I'll update the main file on this page, but if it doesn't then back to the drawing board...

Right aligning the window is quite the problem. That's why there currently isn't an effects window - my maintained window is on the left side of the screen, while the effects window is on the right side...

I am thinking on a way around it, but no guarantees on success or a timeframe...

I would like to know if there is a possibility to have that very same mod but without mouse over.... i play in 1280x1024 with a small font, and this window would be better for me without mouse over.

In fact, i would really like to put it static so it always show the "Moused over" version instead of the hidden one... what is needed to be changed to get it this way?

I'd check the Profit or Killarny or possibly Fetish maintained spell windows. The main difference between mine and there's was mouse-over. So, one of those windows would probably be what you're looking for.

What's causing the mod to not display the buff targets anymore? The names for them appear but below the names the Target no longer appears.

Is this mod still supported? I can not even use this mod anymore since LU 29. I settled when the buff target's named no longer appeared but now this ui mod does not even show up. I miss it. Please please please update this mod. I think it has something to do with the eq2fonts.xml. When I tried to use it, none of my hover over popups for descriptions on items/spells would appear, untill I removed it.

I don't know what problem you're having - but I downloaded and played with the mod today... I'm in the process of rebuilding my UI since GU29 and thought it'd be a good chance to test even the mods I thought were OK. I just stopped in to mark this mod GU29 certified.

It basically doesn't work for me either. When I use your mod, I get no maintained window and I can't bring it up. I replace with (I think) Profit's maintained window, I get the window.

I'd prefer yours, as his is somewhat outdated, but outdated > not working.

No icons, no nothin? Because I may have found a problem keeping text from showing, but you should at least see icons.

I installed twice on two different computers successfully.

When I try it, I see icons on the left there and as soon as I mouse over them they dissapear and won't come back. That's all that happens. This is trying it with no other mod installed.

Ok, I have a fix for that...

The eq2ui_fonts.xml file is out of date... Sorry, I never use that file. I make it from scratch when I install the mod. I'll fix the fonts file and get an update. Sorry
