Please post any questions or change requests to the support thread! (I get notifications of replies there, but not notifications of new comments on the download page.)

============================================

WHAT DOES IT DO?

This experience bar mod has the capacity to show three progress bars at once:
- Adventure experience ("XP")
- Tradeskill experience ("TS")
- Guild level ("GS")

There are 4 possible configurations!
- All 3 bars! (XP, TS, and GS)
- XP
- XP and TS
- XP and GS

============================================

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

The gems have been removed from either end of the bars. The level/points achieved is shown on the left end of the progress bars. With the adventure or tradeskill bars, the vitality overflow arrow has been moved closer to the right end of those progress bars.

To the far right of the bars are whole-number percentages representing your current progess. These percentages can be hidden by resizing the window from the right.

The mouseover tooltip for the vitality overflow arrows has been changed to reflect the tooltip information once shown by the gems. (I.e., instead of saying, "Your vitality bonus extends into the next level," they say, "Adventure/Tradeskill Vitality: ##.#%.") As such, the overflow arrows WILL NOT disappear when your vitality expires during your current level, although they will still display appropriate information in the tooltip.

============================================

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The two bottom bars ("TS" and "GS") are linked to window properties, and the remaining bar can be moved up by resizing the window.
- "TS" is linked to the window "Titlebar" property.
- "GS" is linked to the window "Backdrop" property.

For instance:

To hide the GS bar, right-click on the interface piece and choose "Window Settings." Slide the "Backdrop" opacity sliders both all the way to the left.

To hide the TS bar, choose "Frame Only" or "None" from the "Frame and Title" dropdown menu.

Once your unwanted bar(s) have been removed, simply resize the window from the bottom to move the still-visible bar toward the always-visible XP bar.

============================================

HOW DO I INSTALL IT?

1. Follow the installation instructions for all UI mods here: http://faq.eq2interface.com/

2. When logging in to EQ2 for the first time after copying this mod's XML file to your custom UI directory, you need to check your XP bar's window settings to ensure the mod is showing up correctly:
	a) Right-click on the bars and choose "Window Settings."
	b) Slide all opacity sliders to the right as far as they will go ("Window," "Frame and Title," and "Backdrop").
	c) Select "Frame and Titlebar" from the "Frame and Title" drop-down menu.
	d) You may need to untick the "Locked" checkbox so you can resize the window and make all available elements visible.
	e) Click "OK" to save your changes.

3. Once you're sure the mod is installed correctly, you can go back into your "Window Settings" dialog box and hide any unwanted elements.

Enjoy!!
