I figured I would include the Readme.txt here to answer all the basic questions.
UIGrygan v1.0
10/09/2002
[email protected]
This is a monk-friendly UI based on the work of Vertebrae and a few other people, then tweaked and re-tweaked to suit my particular taste/needs. Feel free to play with it...
INSTALLATION:
This UI's specificity is it is custom built to fit in perfectly in 3 resolutions: 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200.
I am also providing the UI_YourCharacterName_XX.ini files, so you don't even have to move around windows, choose fonts, place hitmodes, etc.
EVERYTHING is already in perfect position to produce (I hope) the most convenient and readable outlook.
Therefore a bit of preparation is required:
If necessary:
0.1 launch EQ and switch to the desired resolution
0.2 exit to desktop
Install:
1. Download the UIGrygan.zip file
2. Create a subdirectory of your Everquest\uifiles named grygan
3. Extract all the file inside UIGrygan.zip to this directory
4. Inside the Everquest\uifiles\grygan directory, find the file UI_Grygan_41_1024.ini (or 1280 or 1600 depending on your desired resolution)
5. Copy this file to your base Everquest directory
6. Find your own UI_Your CharacterName_XX.ini file, and rename it UI_YourCharacterName_XX.bak (just in case)
7. Rename my UI_Grygan_41_1024.ini into UI_YourCharacterName_XX.ini
8. Open your eqclient.ini file and change the line NewUI=default (or whatever old mod you were using) into NewUI=grygan
9. Launch EQ and enjoy!

Continent Maps
I dont use much individual zone maps when online, I tend to prefer to use the detailed paper version for this. However, I do like to have rough zone outlines, portals, soulbinders, banks, and zone connections maps available to me online. So these are the perfect maps for me.
Inventory:
The Autoequip area is hidden behind the stats. Just drop your equip there and it will be automatically added to the appropriate slot
