Default Custom Window Background

Custom Window Background

If you want the same background graphic for all windows, simply modify Everquest II/UI/FetishNightfall/Images/fetish_background.dds

The following tweaks allow you to replace the background of most windows with a custom background while still using the standard Fetish background for specific windows.

Make a copy of fetish_background.dds named guild_background.dds.

Modify guild_background.dds to whatever you want for your guild background.

Open _FetishStyles.xml in NotePad.

Starting on line 1181, you'll find the following code
Code:
        <RectangleStyle Center="fetish_bg_center" CenterShrinkH="true" CenterShrinkV="true" EastStretch="false" Name="fetish_bg" NorthStretch="false" SouthStretch="false" TitleStretch="false" WestStretch="false" />
        <ImageStyle Filter="true" Name="fetish_bg_center">
            <ImageFrame Name="image" Source="images/fetish_background.dds" SourceRect="0,0,512,512" />
        </ImageStyle>
Replace with the following code...
Code:
        <RectangleStyle Center="fetish_bg_center" CenterShrinkH="true" CenterShrinkV="true" EastStretch="false" Name="no_guild_bg" NorthStretch="false" SouthStretch="false" TitleStretch="false" WestStretch="false" />
        <ImageStyle Filter="true" Name="fetish_bg_center">
            <ImageFrame Name="image" Source="images/fetish_background.dds" SourceRect="0,0,512,512" />
        </ImageStyle>
        <RectangleStyle Center="guild_bg_center" CenterShrinkH="true" CenterShrinkV="true" EastStretch="false" Name="fetish_bg" NorthStretch="false" SouthStretch="false" TitleStretch="false" WestStretch="false" />
        <ImageStyle Filter="true" Name="guild_bg_center">
            <ImageFrame Name="image" Source="images/guild_background.dds" SourceRect="0,0,512,512" />
        </ImageStyle>
That replaces the standard Fetish background with your custom background. To reapply the standard Fetish background to the Chat window...

Open eq2ui_mainhud_mainchat.xml in NotePad.
Find
Code:
/Fetish.FrameStyles.fetish_bg
and replace with
Code:
/Fetish.FrameStyles.no_guild_bg
The same search and replace can be done on any window you want to reapply the standard background.

To guard against overwriting these customizations, make backups of the modified files and use Windows property settings to set them to "Read Only".
