I've been using this UI and I love it but have a nagging problem as seen here

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/a.../uiproblem.png

I don't know how to get the other toolbars to dock with the 1st bar. I've tried ctrl+\ but I don't get an option to drag the other bars. Please help and thanks!

edit: my resolution is 1366x768

I answered it with the information in step 2 on how to fix it. I am unable to test that resolution myself because I do not have a monitor that is able to display that size. If you are still having problems post a link to a screenshot and I'll see if I can help you that way. I can't guarantee that I would be able to fix it though.

Please do not post a screenshot, just a link to it. IE; http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k...ndorPannel.jpg

In order for the toolbar to be placed properly, you'll need to modify the X and Y position manually in the SkinDefinition.xml file. The line you'll need to modify is the following line:

<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="..." Y="..." Width="1024" Height="144">

The rules for calculating the values are:
X = (Resolution Width - 1024) / 2
Y = Resolution Height - 135

For 1920x1200, it would be
X = 448
Y = 1065

Was there an answer or fix for those of us using 1920x1200 resolution.

I have edited the specific area in the skindef file making it "448" and 1065 respectively, but my toolbar thing-a-ma-jig is still hovering up and left of centre bottom.

Have seen others ask the question, but no sight of answer.

Lovely UI though, crafting, especially, should be a breeze - but until I fix the toolbar location i can't play with it.

Is it possible to use this UI with a resolution of 1366x768?

How can I check this, or what should I do to make it work?

Uthboth

Change the toolbarfield line in the skin-def file with notepad. It'll be up towards the top, if you use Notepad++ it will be line 56. I do not have a monitor able to run that resolution so am unable to test it for you. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll try to help you resolve them.

Hello there Uth , i was wondering if there is a way to make this UI/Skin to work for 1920x1080, sadly this is the res i use and i would like to try your ui/skin package, thanks in advance

Thanks for looking into the suggested custom UI's code. Hopefully another person on the site can provide additional insight to incorporating the 'sticky toolbar' feature into your UI.

I took a look at the skin-def file for JappMe Ivy and I found out why that ui stays locked on the bottom of the screen. That skin does not require the positional coding that mine does so it reacts the same way as the default ui, so it stays locked on the bottom and in the middle even when the screen size is changed. Due to the way my ui functions I don’t think it’s possible to write the skin-def in a way for it to function like Ivy while retaining the positions of the buttons and such.

If there is another coder out there that knows how to write a skin-def file in such a manner please let me know.

Uthboth

I'll take a look at it to see how it functions. If I'm able to get it working I'll do an update.

The custom UI I used previously (JappMe MoM Ivy) would return the toolbar to the bottom of the screen upon return to full-screen. If you can incorporate how it does it, that would be great!

In response to Eboran; What resolution are you running the game in and what video card? If you are running under 1680x1050, have you changed the skin-def file? Also another thing to look at may be the version of your video drivers. I haven't run into the paper-doll not showing up in the dressing room before so any additional information would be helpful.

Another thing that may help me is a screen-shot. If you're able to upload a full size one to like photo-bucket or somewhere and you can send me the link in a pm here so I can take a look.


In response to Sternn; The ui getting kicked from the bottom in windowed mode is something I've seen with every custom ui I've used. The only ui that I've seen stay stuck at the bottom is the default one. If you've used a custom ui in the past that has not done this, let me know and I'll look at the code to see if there's something different about the way it functions.

Don't worry about the screen-shot since you're not going to use it. If the problem comes up again with someone else I'll dig into it again to see if I can get the problem to occur.

Uthboth: Thanks for the reply. I used all the default settings when I noticed the problem, but now I removed the dressing room code in the skin-def file and everything looks fine. The default looks good to me, so I won't bother looking into what was wrong with it. It's mainly the toolbar I'm into. For the record, I'm running 1680x1050 (windowed) on Nvidia 8800GT with the latest drivers on Win 7 x64. If you'd still like a screenshot of the issue, I'd be happy to send you one, but otherwise I'm perfectly happy with the skin now.

This skin is very nice.

I've modified the postition of the toolbar background artwork to settings correctly for 1920x1200. Unfortunately, everytime I alt-tab to window the game client--then return to full-screen, it results in the background artwork is no longer at the bottom of the screen. The only cure is to restart the client.

Is there a way to "glue" the background toolbar artwork to the bottom of the client no matter the resolution (or window/full-screen status)?

Thanks!
