Tracking windows font size

[delonm]

I have used the /chatfontsize command to change the font in the chat windows, but the command does not affect the text size of the tracking window. Is that a UI setting or xml change I can make to make the text larger?

I run at 2560X1440, so the text is tough to read at default size.

Thanks

This is a great question that never received a reply. Anybody?

1. Navigate to your EQ folder and then the folder called uifiles
2. Create a copy of your chosen UI folder and rename it to something short like 'foo'
3. In your copy of the UI, locate the file called EQUI_TrackingWnd.xml
4. In this file, locate the line that begins <Listbox item="TRW_TrackingList">
5. Within this Listbox element, place a line that reads <Font>5</Font> (perhaps go to the end of the 'BottomAnchorToTop' line and press ENTER)
6. Save the file
7. In EQ, type /loadskin foo (or whatever you called the folder)
8. Get the tracking window up and the font is now larger.


NB Anywhere from 5-8 might be useful on the size for the font. 10 is stupidly large and overlaps. Also, you can make changes with the game open. Just use /loadskin default and /loadskin foo to switch between them as you change the font size in your favourite editor.

This was super helpful - thanks Senn!

Bumping this to see if anyone knows how to change the font colors in the tracking window(specifically the blue - it's nearly impossible to read).

This was incredibly helpful for me...in addition to changing my tracking window font, I also managed to figure out how to change the font on my buff bar! Thanks so much Senn.

Does anyone know which file the tell window settings are in? I'd like to change the default font size for them, but haven't been able to find them.

Is there an update to this thread, because it no longer works.

Nevermind I wanted chat font size not this tracking window. Is there a similar version to change the font zie in xml for chat boxes, not just main chat?
