Paper scroll chat text mod. Please help.

[Yuffie RZ]

I'm nothing close to being able to hack and make my own interfaces, so I have to ask one of you guys instead.



There are two reasons I don't like using the new interface. The first is that you can't choose to lock down your bag windows, which is actually very crucial on my server.



The 2nd, is I can't read anything. I HAVE to have that Paper scroll text from the old interface on my chat bar or I can't read a damn thing.



Has anyone been able to make a mod to get that texture on the chat bar? I don't care if it would end up making the chat bar unchangable in size or anything (I keep it at 11 lines showing anyway), I just need that texture.

Yuffie,



I do believe with the new UI you can change the texture (or remove it entirely) of any of the windows.



I'm at work now, but I'll look into this when I get home.

Hey thanks. I don't know anything about the technical details with these UI mods, so I can't do anything myself (Hell, I don't even know how to code HTML.)

I might be misunderstanding your needs, but have you tried experimenting with the background colors via right clicking on the chat window upper left corner, and the /chatfont command? You wouldn't need to make any modifications to XML files outside EQ in order to change your chat window to a non-transparent brown-background of any color shade; that's all supported directly in the default UI.

The closest I can get is changing the chat texture color to R190 G170 B124, but its still not quite the same.

Bringing up an old topic for you XML folks to (hopefully for me) test out with.

Maybe you should try the /viewport command. It seems to work well for other people who have trouble reading the text on the see-through panels.
