Please post any requests for changes / other versions of this mod 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 all four progress bars at once:
- Achievement experience ("AP")
- Tradeskill experience ("TS")
- Guild level ("GS")
- Adventure experience ("XP")

There are 6 possible configurations!
- All 4 bars! (AP, TS, GS, and XP)
- AP only
- AP, TS, and GS only
- AP and GS only
- AP, GS, and XP only
- AP and XP only

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

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 "reminder" initials:
- "AP" for Achievement Points
- "TS" for TradeSkill experience
- "GS" for Guild Status (guild level)
- "XP" for (adventure) eXPerience
These initials 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 three bottom bars ("TS," "GS," and "XP") are linked to window properties, and the remaining bars can be moved up by resizing the window.
- "TS" is linked to the window "Titlebar" property.
- "GS" is linked to the window "Frame" property.
- "XP" is linked to the window "Backdrop" property.

For instance:

To hide the XP 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" from the "Frame and Title" dropdown menu.

To hide both the TS and GS bars, choose "None" from the "Frame and Title" dropdown menu OR slide the "Frame and Title" opacity sliders both all the way to the left.

Once your unwanted bars have been removed, simply resize the window from the bottom to move the still-visible bar(s) toward the always-visible AP 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 remove elements as shown in the "Possible Configurations" image on the right.

Enjoy!!
