Chat-Window Problem - White BG??

[HATE_ETERNAL]

Hi everyone.
I have installed the latest "Drums UI Mainchat (LU40)" and experience the same problem I had before with older versions.
Now i finally found some time to ask here for a little fix for this.

The tabs of the chat window should usually be blue or something, but I only have white tabs. See attached image

Hope som1 can help me with this.
Greetz, Chris.

You are missing a graphic file that is needed by that window. I can't tell you what that file is with out see the code to the file.

There were a .dds file and the .xml. I put the dds (window_elements.dds) in my custom ui "image" folder.
Thx for help

[gm9]

the .dds needs to go into

UI\<yourCustomUIfolder>\DrumsUI\images\

Correct. I try to keep my custom files in their own sub-folder for those who mix and match. This way files with the same name won't cause issues.

Yes that's good, that also allows for easy deinstallation (not that anybody would want to deinstall your mods ).

Hey I would like to thank you, it works now. Really lovely this help here

And thank Drumstix for your incredible ui mods.

greetings, Maver.
