However, I would like an explanation of how to freeze windows in certain places, while playing with this. I am not loading a whole skin set like Quartz, rather I am using things like compact spellbooks, altered spell icons, pet windows and the like. I keep all this in a folder called "newui" which originally was a copy of the "default" folder. The problem I have is evertime I reload the "newui" skin all the windows are back in default VI positions and I have to redo alpha levels and background tints. Is there a way to set these items permanently?

The formula used for those numbers is also staggeringly complex/convoluted. It's explained somewhere on this board... Has something to do with the first 320 equals up to the first half of the screen (scaled to a 640x480) but for some reason past the halfway point, it then goes to a one greater is one pixel further system. I.E. Although 320 X coordinate is 512 pixels across a 1024x768, 370 X is 562 across. Weird-o, and also makes it about impossible to hard code good positions in the XML. __________________ You can find all my EQ UI work at: http://www.tcnj.edu/~lieuall2/equi/
