[crossposted to the Request forum, apologies from a new forum member]

I love the new UI, but I'm unhappy with the way the spell gems 'fade in' after you cast a spell. I find that I have to watch the gem icons carefully in order to determine when I'm able to cast another spell.

I'd prefer to eliminate the 'fade in' effect that is the default behavior of the spell gems. I'd like the spell gems to appear as available, or unavailable, with no fancy 'fade in' to possibly confuse me as to their state.

I'm not at all familiar with XML, but I have been able to successfully make some small modifications to my UI by reading the EverQuest\uifiles\default\AboutSIDL file, and by some extensive playing around with the values in my EverQuest\uifiles\default files.
But I have been unable to find anything that looked to me as though it controlled this 'fade in' behavior.

I'd appreciate any pointers as to where to look.
