Keep up the great work!

Good eyes!
The persona window is going through a major Sony revamp soon and in order to prepare for that I've modded the persona window based on those up and coming changes.
The Biography screen along with a nifty faction screen will be available via the "now hidden" tabs at the top of the page.

To get a preview, follow the instructions on setting up to login to the test server. "Basically copy the EverQuest II directory to the folder within called "testserver" then launch testeq2.exe.
You can make a character on the test server even if your like me and used up all your 10 character slots
You can then test out the very cool additions that Sony is working on.
For example: find a willing subject and type /duel in game

To finish my long winded reply, the Biography page will be unavailable until Sony releases LU13.
If this is an issue, you may always just delete or rename "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml" to "eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml.old" until they release LU13

Greetings !

Faetyl, I did what you say the first time, the second, the third... And the result is "rare", sometimes goes with a nearly well layout and sometimes with disorder... but never with the correct layout.

That last time I renamed your ini file with the name of my server/player, and it doesn't work anyways.

I just want to use your UI because I think that's cool for the simplicity and usability.

I wait your answer! Thank you =)

FYI for any that may have this same issue.
Mathias and I worked on figuring this out on MSN Messenger...
The issue was resolved by going into the in game options and clicking the "Default" button to reset all display options back to default.
The issue derrived from the black boarder being adjusted some time ago.
Hope this helps someone else out there.

On another note, I will be releasing the next beta release soon for fear Sony will be performing LU13 unexpetantly as typical.

Be aware that the Persona window has been updated by Sony to incorporate more tabs due to a faction page being added.
In order to prepare for this I have included a modded version of that window.
You will notice the biography page does not exist.
This is because it's on a hidden tab until the LU13 release.
If you can't live without it until then, you may simply go into the ThorUI folder and change the name of eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml to hold_eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml
This will give you the default page until release at which time you may just go in and reverse the process to get the modded window back.

Is there any way to make the action buttons bigger, I love every aspect of the UI except the action buttons are a bit too small, makes my head hurt after a few minutes.

Sure is, almost any aspect of the ThorUI you don't much like can be removed and placed back to the default game settings by simply going into the ThorUI folder and deleting the corresponding .xml file.
The action buttons xml happens to be "eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml"
So just delete or rename the file to something like "old_eq2ui_mainhud_hotkey.xml" and you should login to find the default EverQuest II hotkeys.
Let me know if for some reason this doesn't work.
