I'm still relatively new to UI mods - I know enough to keep my hybrid UI chugging along, so thought I'd have a go at the new ItemDisplay window, as I'm not really that keen on losing most of my screen to a single item's window. I think I've mostly figured out how it works, but have encounted problems when it comes to moving elements around - for example, the label for the first stat mod on the item (IDW_Row6Col1Stat) - I can make it change colour in the TextColor tag, I can change the font size by adding a Font tag, but it doesn't appear to move if I adjust the Location coordinates. Is EQ overriding the Location with one that it's receiving from somewhere else? I can see how that would be necessary, given the way they have set up the window as a bunch of "blank" lines that then take their values for the label text and associated number, but didn't realise that it could pass new Location figures as well.

You can change font sizes and move some things a little; but mostly it's very restrictive what you can do. Devs have already said that the window is going to be reworked from this version quickly. Into what or when it's to be re-patched, I haven't heard.

Its been on test for a while I think, why couldn't they finish it first, THEN push it live. Or code it so UI modders could make their own.

I like the mod/unmod button, but other than that, I was fine (and used to) with seeing items' stats in the old format. They should definitely allow us to rework the box.
