Thanks chaddwick

Landliin - the installer was very sweet indeed, i also like the extra touch of the map updating too

very sweet. I've notice one problem though - you can't change the names of the tabs.... (and it logs into a chat group or something automaticaly)

now to get used to the new look...

5 jumping bananas for you

[icefish]

Thanks authors for the update

I tried to install the lastest version (2.13) today. When install to
select the user ui setting. No matter I select any one, the procedure
will ask me to select an valid user ui setting file.

Could you kindly to upload the ui setting file including all resolutions as the hotfix?

Thanks

after selecting what the resalution you use, you also need to select the character's ui settings file that you will be using via the the brows for the file box just under where you selected the resalution.

for an example mine is steamfont_landiin_eq2_uisettings or sellect I'll use my own in the resalution section and no uisettings file will be installed and it will be up to u to place all windows.

You can't changed the names of the tab? Hmm verry odd, I'll check into that when I get home tonight..

Grr I forgot to leave that channel when making the settings file

do this /listchannels then see what number dragan. Lets say its channel 2, do /leavechannel 2 and it should take you out.

[Landiin]

Hmm down to 4 stars again So what is it you don't like about the UI?

[Baronken]

For 2.13.0 with hotfix 2:

Looks good, but I miss my green theme (screenshot). When are new themes/colors coming?

EDIT: I see now that it uses the same perdigraphics...can I just use the green one from the colorpack?

All of the windows are too transparent for my tastes. Is there any way to change the default transparency?

BTW, great work.

[Baronken]

Also, I use 2 rows of hotkeys above the maintained spells bar (see attached picture below - that is an older picture and the new eq2 button window has the hostile effects on it). Is it possible to get custom 'player' and 'eq2 button/casting bar/breathing bar' windows (just need to be 1 hotbar height taller)? Perhaps you could add the crushing/slashing/piercing resistances in the extra area on the player window instead of having them toggle with the power bar.

These would be for the new 2.13.0 UI.

Thanks.

[Baronken]

The installer:
At the end, it has checkboxes for Run eXtremeUI and for Show Readme.

What does Run eXtremeUI do? I tried it both checked and unchecked and didn't notice anything different.

oooo I also use 2 different rows of hot keys like the above quote specifies. Also, as someone else mentioned - I would love some kind of a fix to change the colors easily... There is only one thing I didn't like on the new UI.. I run at the 1280x1024 I believe, and I dont have the 2nd chat window on the top - I really really miss it! Anyway we can re-add it or something... lol

Anyways, love the work you have done on the UI.

Yes, In the addon there is a 25 skin pack you can down load. Just switch the one you like for the perdigraphic.dds file in the image directory.

As for the adding of a 2nd chat window; right click in the current chat window, select open new chat window, then slide it into place.

[Gravdigr]

It may be because I'm thick, but I cannot get the implied target window to appear. I have it set to a button in options but it won't appear...maybe it's buried under something.

For now yes you can use the perdigraphics in the colorpack. Next release no U won't be able to. I am redoing the skin because of miss sizes in target tray area. I'll try to make a new skin for each skin in the color pack but it'll take time.

If you have back drops full on then no thats as none transparent as they'll get. I'll be release new themes later after most bugs are gone.
