Big downloads but:
New screenie showing spellbook, inventory, etc. in Vert style graphics
'Nother screenie to show where the casting bar is. Check the spell button box on the left...its the yellow bar just under the mana bar.

Checking the screenshot...a couple changes from before:
1.) Using Vert mod graphics. I like it a little better than the wood myself (but the wood graphics are included in the download in its own folder). Only problems: a.) the Vert buttons cause the spell gem buttons to be shaded off color a little (yellow tinted buttons turn out an ugle green). I'm gonna fix this sometime soon b.) Some of the graphic elements when using Vert graphics (wooden and default look just fine) just don't fit up (see the item view box above the inventory...upper right corner of it is funky). Also near a fix for this.
2.) I leveled out the chat boxes to take advantage of /viewport. Notice the black behind the target bar, group and player info. This only concerns anyone that might wanna use my UI_player_#.ini file to set their screens up just like mine. Be aware...if you use my UI_player_#.ini file (change UI_Wolfran_71.ini to UI_<your character>_<your server number>.ini and copy it into your EQ folder), all windows will be locked INCLUDING the inventory window. Some windows (such as my two melee boxes and the skill message box in the upper right) will be completely invisible.
3.) I'm now using t.king spell gems and icons for obvious reasons (they rock!).
4.) Name removed from the player window...cause I know my name.
5.) Since there's a large target bar, I made the targets name larger. Only fitting.
6.) Removed the title bars from the chat windows. The negative side effect from this is now chat windows can't be dragged around...they need to be stretched and unstretched around the screen. You'll figure it out
7.) Used a merchant window mod found on these boards and I'm not really happy with it. If you don't like it, just delete EQUI_MerchantWnd.xml from the folder you unzipped this mod into. If you like it...cool.
8.) I finally got my Earring of the Solstice, so I made sure to put the loot view of it in each screenshot
Yes...as much as I hate to do it, there is an alteration in the EQUI_Animations.xml file. Sucks I know, but there was no way to alter the RedBuffBackground and BlueBuffBackground elements (for the buff box) without messing with the Animations file. So...if Verant decides to patch the Animations file again, this mod will break. I'll try to get a fixed Animations file posted promptly in that event.
Then again, the only part of this mod that would be affected would be the buff box...and its only an aesthetic change (the buff backgrounds will change to standard buttons from the current background). So if you just delete the Animations file when when you find you can't log on after a patch, everything should be peachy. Every other graphics change has been added in the file of the window that used the graphic, making for nice clean patch days.
NOTE: Don't bother downloading this stuff if you can't play at 1024x768 resolution. Even then, its rather bulky below 1280x1024. You were warned.
Again...thanks for the kind words.
