I've been trying to add a background to the item display window, so when you right click an item to view its stats, you have a custom background. I don't know if it would be a custom window pieces or what. I've seen a few mods with custom backgrounds, but none with customized item stats windows.

Can anyone recommend a way to add a background to just the item stats window?

Thanks.

The only way that I know of to make a new background with out altering all other windows backgrounds is to define a new border. It seems that SoE bound the background to the border instead of making it a selectable thing. In this case the new background is put into a copy of the WTD_Rounded border.

Just copy this and put it into your item inspect window, change the "spiffynewbackground.tga" files to the name of your background picture.

If anyone knows an easier way please post it, as I have tryed just about every thing to no aval.

The only item info window I could think of was ItemDisplay.xml however there's virtually nothing in that file. I've checked multiple ui's and none use that window in their mods. Is there another window I should be looking at to insert that text into? I tried it into that xml file and saw no change.

Thanks for the help btw.
