The best way to contact me concerning this UI would be to post in the EQ UI and other Technical Questions forum on EQDiva.com.

Modders, feel free to alter, add to, and distribute these files at will. All I ask is that you do not take credit for my original work. Thank you.


Overview of Features:

Buffs - Includes numbers for each buff slot, allowing assessment of slots avaiable at a quick glance. Actual name of buff also displayed.

Combat Abilities - Much sleeker; buttons sized to not word wrap Discipline names so badly, and only includes four slots since that's all most hybrids need.

Container - Comes with up to nine fully customizable (through the KeizCustom utility) clickie slots.

Group - Added health percentages and F-key references.

Hot Buttons - Includes Target's Target information, pet's health / name, and is now horizontal.

Inventory - Similar to the classic inventory. Updated to include the Shroud / Evolving Item tabs and Corruption resist.

Loc - Fully customizable (through the KeizLoc4 utility) Loc window. You can easily edit it to store any kind of information you'd like on hand.

Player - Includes Rest indicator, eight fully customizable (through the KeizCustom utility) clickie slots, inventory bags, AC/ATK, resists, Exp, and AA. Flashes with Autoattack.

Songs - Similar changes as for the Buffs window.

Spells - Horizontal layout with names of spells you have memorized right there at a glance.

Target - Includes the spell casting-time bar, target health percent, and con color.
