Ok the issue with buff windows that people are having-- I had the same problem. There are two issues involved in this and two methodds of going about fixing it.
The root cause of customized buff windows is that there are 2 different places where the information is displayed. Both the icon/background are called in one place, and the buff name is called in another spot. The Two are SUPPOSED to line up. The problem is, they're anchored a bit differently (one from the right, one from the left), and worse still, if your buff window is of insufficent size to properly display a full block of the icon/background --the icon/background wont display at all. (the window thinks it needs to be placed on another line. )
The easiest way to fix both though it requires trial and error:
Log onto your toon. Load your UI. Tab out, rename EQUI_BuffWindow.xml to EQUI_BuffWindow.xm_.
Reload your UI.
Tab back to EQ, and position your Buffwindow the way it should be +~ 20%.
Tab Back to Windows, Rename EQUI_BuffWindow.xm_ back to EQUI_Buffwindow.xml
Tab back to EQ, and reload your UI. (keeping current settings) and adjusting so the buffs line up with their labels (and they're being displayed properly.
Repeat until you have things the right size/alignment.
The HARD way, though perhaps more 'scientific' that doesnt require so much tabbing in and out... Log off your Character. Open EQUI_BuffWindow.xml, find the X & Y size of the window, and then open up UI_<CHARACTER>_<SERVER>.ini, find Height and Width for your UI (and resolution) for [BuffWindow]--if the lines dont exist you will need to create them.
example:
Code:
Width=45
Height=900
Width1280x1024=45
Height1280x1024=900
Width1024x768=45
Height1024x768=900
That SHOULD do it.
