Default slayers clock

I don't pretend to be a UI designer and i could not tell any one what a file was what but i was woundering if there is any way to turn off the clock timer on the Slayer UI , with out generating page after page of UI errors.

I Love this UI and i have admittedly changed a couple things for myself and my playing style but i can't seem to find a use for the numirical timer that is in the lower right hand corner of the UI.

I have some bar timers that i got that i find are simpler for me(heheh and i am simple :) ) that i have imported and am useing to time my Mezz and Speed spells, so it is really just kind of there counting down to nothing.

Thanks in advance

When I developed the bar-style slider timers, I stopped using any sort of digital timer in the UI as well. I agree with you that bar timers are much easier to use. It looks like the digital timer included in the Slayer UI is actually one of my older timers, since I can see my comments in the XML file. To remove it, you can do the following:

Open EQUI_GroupWindow.xml in a text editor, and scroll to the bottom. You should see a section as follows:
Code:
<!-- BEGIN timer pieces --> <Pieces>TimerHour</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerColonA</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerMinuteA</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerMinuteB</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerColonB</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerSecondA</Pieces> <Pieces>TimerSecondB</Pieces> <!-- END timer pieces -->
Go ahead and delete the above lines from the file. This will cause the digital timer to not be displayed at all (there will just be a blank area where it used to be).

Edit: Wanted to add that you could clean up the file even more by removing all timer-related XML from the file. However, doing so would be purely optional; removing just the lines listed above is enough to remove the digital timer from your UI.

Two other things you could do:

Open the targa (something_timer.tga) file for the digital timer and make the alpha channel all black

or:

Open the targa (something_timer.tga) file for the digital timer and replace the numbers with weird random symbols, then, intead of a clock in the corner, you'll have a WEIRD ALIEN ANIMATION-majig.
