I was working on my UI and i had the problem that after i set a transparent window to true and wanted change it back to false it did not take action and i was shocked, i played around with positions in teh xml file and did tonns of stuff... after 2 hours of crazy changes i finaly found out that some values are case sensitive aka "False" did not work i had to put "false" in as value..... no idea if that is still a bug in the german version or also happend in the english version but i can just say use a search and replace toll and change alle False and True to false and true always so u safe u much trouble hehe

This said, True/False are not the same as true/false and Object_Wnd.xml is not the same as object_wnd.XML. hope this helps. Those of you using SidlWidl will often notice toggling the values True/False will subsequently need to manually go back and properly case. This is a SidlWidl bug, not a limitation of EQ UI's or the markup. __________________

In other words - its hardcoded to recognize "TRUE", "true", "FALSE", "false" but doesn't actually do any case-reformatting so when you try use "True" or "False", it chokes and gives an error. That's how domain sets work anyway.
