Feldon Today we repost some player advice on how to switch from the new default Red UI to the optional Blue UI, without blowing away all your hotbars. This advice comes from the EQ2 Forums.
How to get the Blue Style (No Mods)
If you are using the default EQ2 User Interface (UI), with no modifications like EQ2Maps, etc. installed, and you are wanting to switch from the default red to the optional blue, type /loadui and choose the Blue style.
When you do this, your hotbars and locations of your UI will be reset. To fix this, type /load_uisettings and choose your character. This should restore your hotbars back, while keeping the new blue style.
Unfortunately, it seems that this will reset each time you start EQ2 again. The solution comes from Ahlana:
Open “eq2.ini” in your EQ2 folder
Add the line
cl_ui_skinname Default_Blue
An alternative comes from sompet_eq2:
You can also copy “<Everquest II>\UI\Default_Blue\images” folder to “<Everquest II>\UI\Default\images” overwriting all files.
How to get the Blue Style (with a mod like EQ2Maps)
This advice comes from Yaevin:
Go to your EQ2 directory. Once there, go into the UI/Default_Blue folder.
If you’re using EQ2Maps, copy the Images folder to UI/EQ2Maps. Windows will tell you that you already have a folder there, just click ok. Also confirm any overwrites, if asked.
thanks, for info.
no doubt going to have fsome upset guildies later on this will do a lot to help em out (use profit UI myself, so was move one window and all’s well with teh world.)
Tempted to over-write the red bleed-through tone in profit though, depends how much it annoys me over the next couple of days play.
The welcome screen fix isn’t working for me. I added cl_show_welcome_screen_on_startup 0 to my EQ2.ini. I still see the welcome screen pop up when i log in. Perhaps they changed something…
Oh nvm i should have read further lol silly me
If i can find the XML for the welcome screen and blank it out would that fix it?
