Ok todays topic is eqtypes. The most popular request I get is to place the compass in some window. IT CANNOT BE DONE. Now I know you have seen UIs that appear to have the compass placed in some window. But what I and others have done is "fake" it. You cut a hole in the background and then place the compass in the hole, giving the illusion that it is part of that window. Bottom line if something has an eqtype, it can be moved to a different window. If it doesn't have an eqtype it can only exist in its native window. Also some things are hard coded on server side and cant be changed on client side.
