That is likely the interaction between his solid titlebars and the unconventional way I set up those tabs. I know dragowulf had issues with his skin and that too.

I am using ProfitUI and your images/icons. Its working great but I have 1 graphical issue. The Main Targeting window is cut off with only the middle showing through.



If I turn down the opacity of the window to 50% the whole window starts to appear.



I have deleted the ui folder and tried a few reinstalls but it still persists. I havn't seen anyone else post any issues with this so I'm assuming its something on my end. Was wondering if you had any ideas on how I can try to remedy this.

Again, I'm not sure if this is just something with my install or not.

Thanks!

I had this problem as well. You have to switch con versions by pressing the button on the target window. It doesn't like the Con type with the fancy outlines. ((can't think of it's name right now..))

Hey dude, thanks for the feedback!

The issue you are experiencing is really, im sad to say an incompatibility with my skin and ProfitUI. Me personally i don't play with ProfitUI and i really don't have that much in sight to it, as of yet. But this seems like one issue that occurs also you mentioned other stuff with the broker and such.

With the present version of v1.01 im pretty sure people can get it to work well in conjunction with ProfitUI. You might not get the full experience, and you might need to disable (remove files) that produce errors like these. In the case of the targeting windows, you could remove the VanGurK files of widgets02.dds and widgets03.dds. You will loose some skin features but the ProfitUI targeting should go back to normal.

This is the only help i can give with the present version of my skin. I might give it a go and create a fully ProfitUI skin in the future, time will tell.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I just switched up the con mode and all is well with the targeting window. Keep up the good work. =)

Nice to see it turned out ok. I don't really know too much about this "con mode" but im glad to see it's a possible solution to this problem

The con mode refers to the way EQ2 provides you with a target classification, there is a "simple" and an "advanced" mode. The encounter brackets which display the difficulty and which are however a solid graphic in your skin are only there in one mode, therefore toggling the mode hides them and you can again see the health/power bars.

Hope that helps.

I was wondering what format you save your DDS files in.
I'm trying to make some of my own map icons and I keep losing a lot of quality and getting colors blending into each other when trying to find a good DDS format settings.

Thanks for any tips
