I'm a long...long time user of this UI and feel dead in the water without being able to use it now! Any and all help with getting this back online would be greatly appreciated! Thanx, Cynastar

Just /loadskin default and resize the buff window by increasing the length (which is the problem I had -- it was cutting off the buff window) and then /loadskin back to Quartz. It may take a time or 2 to get it right (I'd copy your orginial UI_CharName_servername.ini file in case you really mess things up). If it's the group window (which is my problem), I'd like to know if anyone has a fix for that too! Thanks!

Cynastar A Tundra Mammoth Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 64	Gonna give it a shot One thing I noticed once I did log in and found my UI to be screwed up was it seemed I was missing some of my control boxes! Like the actions box to the bottom right...was gone off the screen. Think that's the actions box anyways...the one that has the sit, run, camp and the 3 other tabs for your "action" abilities. So, will doing this fix you listed Sadge will this resolve this issue I just mentioned as well? Sorry if I come across a bit ignorant but, I'm just the type that wants it to just WORK! I do thank you for your help though! Cynastar

this is what i had to do to get the buff window and short duration buff window to work correctly. this is what you should have in your character_server_ui.ini file

have you tried pressing cntrl+a to open your action window? it could have just hid it since the patch.

Sadge A Treant Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 28	Could Be Yeah I'd suggest trying Alt-M (or cntrl-a) to see if that brings your box back. The new UI files seem to not allow a box to go "off the screen" (I had a problem with my group box not allowing me to be part of it off the screen). If it's truely off the screen, you can reset the resolution to bring it back, but I highly doubt that that is going to be necissary. Good luck! I just want things to work, too!

I was able to set it up to be some what functional for my trader but, I dont feel comfortable using it for any type of combat. The thing with my activities window is I can see it as part of the same window that displays some of my items my character wears but, I'm only able to see/use the top part of the activities window itself. Any ideas? BTW anyone else have a fix for this god forsaken new patch? Thanx, Cynastar
