I'm honestly looking for a better UI than this default one. Most of the windows are so small I have a hard time reading any of the text (I run 1768x992 res). Don't know about you but I do not like straining my eyes.

I share this issue.

A few things that have helped:

Right click a window or window header > textured yes
Right click a window or window header > tint > set all colors to 13. This gives an off-black background for the windows to make text easier to read. Can also be used to change things like group and target window to colors that stand out more.

/chatfontsize x
Replace X with numbers 1-5 (maybe up to 7?) to make the font size larger. This only works in the window you are currently chatting in, if you have more than one chat windows and the main chat is set to "Always chat here", then you will need to disable that option (Right click main window > Always chat here) to change the font size of other windows.

All of these options can also be configured in the eqclient.ini file in your P99 directory. Set it how you like it on P99Green Beta and then just copy/paste the files over to be all set for Green launch.


That said, I would love the option to be able to use custom UIs that more closely resemble the original EQ marble UI. Mis that thing, would prefer it with a larger viewport in the middle with transparent chat windows and then marbled UI items like spells and group list and targets off to either side. Dreams I guess.
