If you move cursor over where the icon should be the button is still there you can click. Window Selector is the lable on the window with the 10ish? icons for things from actions/guild/friends/mail/pet/etc/etc My thoughts are my custom UI probably has a outdated file or graphic that if I remove will let the default patch it in and have my icons back. Anyone know what files are related? I cant find anything labled Windowselector

So I figured out the Icons for the Window Selector window are split up between 2 files, half are with the graphics of the invetory slots, other half with the compass, my windowpieces4 has a compass but no icons! How do i fix that and retain the compass........dont want to change it. Last edited by Trippn : 11-13-2009 at 09:13 PM.

But you need to edit the graphic file with something like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, and be able to handle working with masks. Start with your windowpieces_04.tga (I'm assuming that's where your compass is you want to keep). Then you'll have to add to that file whatever graphics are missing compared to the windowspieces_04.tga in the default directory, and the corresponding mask for those new icons so they show. You'll have to keep positioning precisely the same as the default file is. It's not difficult at all to do once you get into it.

You also could look in your UIErrors file to see if something isn't correct.( doubt that is something related to this ). I am not sure if the link/download is buged from last patch as I havn't checked it with default. But I am using it in my UI always have for years. No issues for me ) SmileyFAAce

From this I'm assuming the original poster has a custom compass he wants to keep, he does not want to use the default compass. Otherwise, since he is aware of the 2 files, he would have known to just use the 2nd .tga file where so many icons are missing.

Google Paint.NET
It works for me and it is free.
