Ok, not even sure this is a viable request since I know exactly squat about XML, but is there any way to "scale" a UI? Preferably with a slider bar ~

I just bought a nifty new 21" monitor and it really just pounds home the fact that my UI takes up huge amounts of space that it doesn't really need too. (And yes, I know it was the same on my old monitor; I just never bothered to ask if it were possible...)

I want it to keep the same look and feel of my UI, I just want to shrink it so that I can view more of the game. I don't need buttons the the size of half-dollars. =P Nor is there any reason that my buff bar should extend across 90% of my screen. I want tight, compact, non-fussy UI with lots of gaming view!

Just wanted to add that I play using the max resolution, if that makes any difference.

Kinda hard to know how to help you out without knowing what you're using right now.

Default, some other custom UI, a mix of mods ?

You might find some things you could use to streamline yours some in the Downloads section under Complete Sets --> Minimalist.

Also, just knocking the titlebars off windows can save some space and make everything look cleaner, as well.

Would also have to know what resolution you are running at. on a 21" monitor, everything shouldn't be that big unless you are using a low resolution.

What you want to do is increase the resolution you're running EQ at.

Spell icons and buff icons are (almost) always 40x40 pixels. Doing the math based on your buff bar, I figure you must be using 1024x768 resolution. It's a lot of work to change that, because there's about a thousand different icons and window borders and other little parts that would all need to be resized. Most people who don't want buttons the size of half dollars just switch to a higher resolution, perhaps 1600x1200. The icons are still 40x40, but take up less of the screen at that resolution.

You can easily use viewport and move/resize the screen area independent of the UI and still be able to view the whole game.
