I'm not the person you were asking, but on my ranger I have no sorting options

So, I'm not sure how complicated this would be, and I'm not familiar with the coding required to do it, but I was wondering if it would be possible for me to change the default color for hot buttons in this UI?

I know I can make macros and change the colors to anything I like, but for something like a melee, I prefer to see when those skills are back up by looking at the button. The black on dark grey is pretty hard to read, so I'd like to just change the default hot button text to white

If anyone with some XML knowledge knows how I might achieve this, please let me know!

edit: Weirdly, taking another look at the screenshots way back in the first post, it looks like the default is supposed to be white? I wonder why mine is black

Thank you, I was wondering the same. Regardless what (custom) UI I use, I always get the black text on grey hotbuttons.
There are some guides how to edit the code in the game files to change that, but I don't think everyone is doing that. Somehow I am missing something. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You change the text color from black to white by editing EQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml in everquest/uifiles/qqui

Search for: <Button item = "HB_Button1">

Change:


<TextColor>
<R>0</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>0</B>
</TextColor>

To:

<TextColor>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</TextColor>


then repeat for <Button item = "HB_Button2"> through <Button item = "HB_Button10">

Seeing if anyone here can help. I cannot get the horizontal hotbar. Looks like more than one hotbar is possible with this ui? On blue if that helps

You can only have one hotbar now, and it can only be vertical.

I did every step correctly(I think) and when I do the /loadskin <qquibard> it tells me in red letters that my XML files are not compatible.
Can anyone please help me.
I'm on green server if that helps

You are not constrained to vertical only.

I get the same message and just ignore it. Been using qqui for years with no problems.
