IF you went ahead and made up a custom EQUI_ShortDurationBuffWindow.xml file in anticipation of today’s release, open with a text editor, and:

Search/Find to:

<Screen item = "ShortDurationBuffWindow">

CHANGE
<Text>Short Duration Effects</Text>

to

<Text>Songs</Text>

then, CHANGE

<Location>

<X>415</X>

to

<X>315</X>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also please note that there has been a new window_pieces04 which now includes the ShortDurationBuffWindow buttons. So if you have a custom window_pieces04 you will have to grab the new one (or edit your custom one to be compliant with the change).

EDIT: changed A_BuffBtnPressedFlyby to A_SongBtnPressedFlyby in the first change Cairenn made, this was causing the pressed button to show an arm instead of note. - Kudane

Here's the text of the Patch Message that's UI related:





Not mentioned in the message but loaded in the Patch is the Story Window... not sure that what is yet...

*giggle* Kelric must still need his morning coffee yet! :p

<BLUSH>

Okay, it IS too early to be teasing me about typos :p LOL

window_pieces04 is indeed the compass. Thus, you are correct ... anyone using a custom compass (that uses a modified window_pieces04) will need to:

a) run with the default; or
b) track down the originator and get a fix; or
c) fix it themselves

Fixing it will require opening the window_pieces04 in a graphics editor (PaintShopPro, PhotoShop, GIMP, etc), adding the new buttons, changing the alpha channel to reflect the new graphics, then making sure that the coding in the animations file gets updated to correspond with the appropriate locations, ...

Most folks will probably want to go with either a or b above.
