Default I cannot read the text floating in my screen

everything else has a background , but now my target bar is now floating in mid air.

I cannot read the name of the target, In Velious Beta its even worse because i am trying to read white text on a white snow wall background HELP

Help help help.

It wasn't this way on live, the name of the target had its own background.

try using a different UI? you should be able to right click on the target window and set the background transparency. well, this works on the default UI, not too sure about Duxa.

You'll need to make a quick edit to one of the xml files for your target window. Make sure EQ is closed before you do the following:
  • Go in to your uifiles in: EverQuest\uifiles\duxaui
  • Open up EQUI_TargetWindow.xml
    You'll probably need to run notepad as an administrator and then file > open and navigate to the file specifically to be able to save.
  • The last item should be something like this:
    <Screen item="TargetWindow">
    <ScreenID />
    <RelativePosition>false</RelativePosition>
    <Location>
    <X>516</X>
    <Y>242</Y>
    </Location>
    <Size>
    <CX>124</CX>
    <CY>50</CY>
    </Size>
    <Text>Target</Text>
    <Style_VScroll>false</Style_VScroll>
    <Style_HScroll>false</Style_HScroll>
    <Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>
    <TooltipReference>Your Current Target</TooltipReference>
    <DrawTemplate>WDT_Rounded</DrawTemplate>
    <Style_Titlebar>false</Style_Titlebar>
    <Style_Closebox>false</Style_Closebox>
    <Style_Minimizebox>false</Style_Minimizebox>
    <Style_Border>false</Style_Border>
    <Style_Sizable>false</Style_Sizable>
    <Pieces>Target_HP</Pieces>
    <Pieces>Target_HPLabel</Pieces>
    <Pieces>Target_HPPercLabel</Pieces>
    <Pieces>A_TargetBoxStaticAnim</Pieces>
    </Screen>
  • Change on the above bolded line true to false.
  • You should be able to change background options in game for this window now.
Run Everquest.
