Map Issues: MainHUD_Map actually isn't used due to issues with the auto-updater overwriting the file. _Fetish_mainhud_map.xml is used instead. I also seperated out all the zone includes to its own file /eq2map/core_icons.xml. Its quite possible the defult install of eq2map doesn't work with my changes untill you've also run the updater (my version was based of an updated version). Its also possible the updater will break stuff in the future.

I've submitted my changes for consideration by the eqmap team but haven't heard back from them yet. Regardless of what they decide about my proposed changes, final release of the Nightfall map will be setup to work with the updater, even if I have to implement all the style changes through scripting.

Visit Inn: Enter on ENTER noted and will be done.

QH Icons: Hrmm... I'll have to check this one. If they can be shrunk, I'll probably reduce them a tad.

Health & Power Bars: fetish_widgets2.dds contains forground and background images for these bars. The white set in the lower left corner of the DDS is the bar image. The dark grey set below the white set is the background image.

Inventory Shrunk by Default: Instructions for making this happen can be found this thread. I'll see about including instructions for this tweak in the .doc.

XP Bar: Increasing the font size of percentages or changing them to a horitontal layout would require a fairly major overhaul of the window. The background frame would need stretching, everything would need repositioning, and all scripted size changes would need updating. Side-by-side XP and Debt would unbalance the left and right sides of the window, so I'm disinclined to do that. I might bumpt the font size up a tad for final release if want this change.

Compass: I'll take a look at the image sizes but be sure to reset windows to their defaults. EQ will continue to use previously saved window size settings untill you do. Your compass may be larger than intended.

Journal: I'll check the size settings. It's possible the details container has the wrong setting.

Maintained and Effects: Both these windows were intentionally left unaltered except for their default locations. A MAJOR change to both windows is coming soon from SOE, so there's no sense in me messing with them now.

Once SOE's changes go live, its very likely I'll be moding them to display spell name, target name and duration as hidable options.

Alternates: I fully intend to add alternate styles for core windows and to allow other folks to upload their versions. Corse most of these wont come till after the official Nightfall release.
