What .xml file is controlling the Confirm Item Deletion window that pops up? I desire to mod mine. Thanks!

It's eq2ui_hud_choice.xml if I recall correctly. Used for 90% of such popups but you can make some modifications to it.

Thanks. I tried to mod it, but when in game, it really screws up. The text box won't display and the buttons all get moved around. Something gets messed up with alignment of items. All I wanted to do is, get rid of the dead space, rid the "black" line I see at the top of the window on default, and add a background image to the delete confirm box. When I make my changes in UIbuilder it looks great. But like I said, in game, things get all moved around and the ttext no longer displays. Must be how the "layering" or as UIBuilder shows, "Cascade" of windows affects the placement of pages/images/buttons.

If I can't add an image no biggie, but I really want to rid the dead space and that ugly black line I see at the top of the default window.

IIRC this window auto-sizes several elements tied to the background object. I forget exactly what the behavior was, but when I tried changing the background and frame settings, stuff was reizing oddly. Like the frame would end up super tall but the background would be short, leaving empty space between the two.

I think it is the way it cascades multi windows. Seems it is dependent on what info needs to be displayed: deletion vs. find npc vs etc. From this I see the window reszing accordingly. Maybe that is why I get the same effects you did when I tried to mod this window. SOE needs to rid that ugly black line and I wish they were not so stuck on this "dead space" that all their default windows have. Anywho, thanks for the reply!
