I've tried adding <Style_Tooltip>false</Style_Tooltip> to various parts of the XML as suggested on some other posts but it doesn't work

Did you add that tooltip to the actual layouts instead of the elements?

Thanks, JChan!

Here is the problem I am having with my buff window. The words are not aligning to the left with the background color, as they used to. If I anchor them to the left, they are further to the left than the background. Is there a way to move them left or right without aligning them? The Spacing only moves them up and down, and Secondary spacing does not do anything for it.

***EDIT***

I figured it out! To help anyone else having this problem, use the method Corean suggested, only with the <LeftAnchorOffset>5</LeftAnchorOffset> This works if the code <AnchorToLeft>true</AnchorToLeft> is set to true, but it does nothing if not. Hopefully my learning helps someone.

	...
</TileLayoutBox>

Also add <LeftAnchorOffset> like above. Lables no longer (transparently) cover the buff icons with offset. And make changes to your Button and Label TileLayoutBox, <AnchorToLeft>true</AnchorToLeft> as Tindos has done.

myxiplx A Weathered Clockwork Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 313	Gaaah, could have sworn I'd tested with that and it wasn't working. Even have Style_Tooltip commented out in the code! Thanks bud, that was all it took. Incidentally, I'm finding the VerticalLayoutBox is easier to use than the TileLayoutBox for these.

TeadadarBB A Gray Wolf Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5	Still Having Issues Was wondering if anyone was experiencing issue with adding Tooltips to labels on the buff / short duration window? Im using an old version of solaria that has been patched here / there to hold things together, ive been able to setup sub routines and load the UI but im still unable to click anywhere on the buff to remove it or block it. I have to click on the small icon or the boarder of the buff. Everytime i even hint at adding a Style Tooltip to it, it client crashes. Any thoughts?

My guess is that your custom UI was a copy of default with extra stuff added, and that you've now got a lot of old default files in there. If my guess is right, you're probably best downloading the UI again and creating a fresh install. Just create an empty folder in uifiles, and extract the downloads into there.

It adds the name of the window to the top, but its rather easy to ignore, much more so than the border. Hope that helps some.

Hi, yeah I did this, but these title bars are annoying and huge. Even if I make them transparent, there's too much space there being taken up I think. Here's how it looks normally.

Does ANYONE know how I could shrink the title bars, If I could get them 1/3 that size vertically, I would be happy. If I can be pointed in the right direction.

If your main screen has resizable set to false and no title bar, any empty space can be grabbed to move it around. All I did was move all the <VerticalLayoutBox> elements to 2,2 and added 4,4 to the total size of the window. That gives you a 2 pixel invisible border all around that you can use to move the pieces.
