Can you make a mod shaped like: ------------------------------------------------------------ \| #############################\| \|###-----------------------------------------------------\| \| ## \| \| ## \| \| ## \| \| ## \| ------- for example? or is that in essence a larger rectangle with lots of unused space? In that case, how doyou make that section "transparent"? I see some people using curved mods. I wonder how the open area near the curved area is treated. Thanks in advance. -Naas

You make a window shaped like that by drawing a background graphic specifically for that window, with the transparent area being the transparency/alpha channel in your tga file. The drawback is that EQ still considers the transparent area to be part of the window- so if you place another window in that area, or want to click on something in-game behind the transparent area, you'll get that window when you click and not the thing you want. __________________ "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
