You can change the size of anything displayed in the UI. I haven't had a chance to test max sizes, and I don't have a UHD TV so I'm not sure what size would be appropriate. Here is the pull out of an EQType display in the UI, this one being current wieght, you would just change whats in the size tag.

<Label item="PW_CurrentWeight">
		<ScreenID>WeightNumberLabel</ScreenID>
		<Font>1</Font>
		<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
		<Location>
			<X>92</X>
			<Y>79</Y>
		</Location>
		<Size>
			<CX>30</CX>
			<CY>10</CY>
		</Size>
		<EQType>24</EQType>
		<Text>500</Text>
		<TextColor>
			<R>255</R>
			<G>255</G>
			<B>0</B>
		</TextColor>
		<NoWrap>true</NoWrap>
		<AlignCenter>false</AlignCenter>
		<AlignRight>true</AlignRight>
	</Label>

But you need to realize that just changing the EQType size is just the begining, you will likely need to adjust its location, and probably the size/border of the UI item itself.

Awesome thank you very much, I will definitely play around with this. If I get it to work I will post my settings so others with a 4k monitor can benefit as well. Is this in the EQclient.ini? Thanks again

It is in the UI files themselves, you'll need an XML editor to do it, there are several free ones available. I've heard you can do it in word pad too, but I've not tried it.

Can confirm you can edit in notepad or word but it's a pain in the ass. Notepad++ is what I've been using and I find it useful, not sure if there's something better (probably is).

Somewhere on EQinterface there is a link to an old program called SidlWildUI. This program allows you to load individual elements of your UI without entering the game, so you can see if your changes are going to fuck everything up. It also shows the specific lines of code for whatever element of the UI you have selected (inventory window for example). I didn't know anything about XML or editing UI's until recently, but have found this extremely useful. It is pretty buggy though.

Nice I definitely have to check this out. I think it will make my job a lot easier. Thanks for the heads up.
