Default Target Bar Background

Hey guys!

I wanted to make the target bar's background just like the cast bar background. same color, borderless little rectangle to outline the target as the cast bar has. so they match.

how could one do this? thanks!

It's because one has a transparent background and the other doesn't. To make them look the same you can either change the casting window in game to be transparent, or change the targeting window to not be transparent by editing EQUI_TargetWindow.xml and changing <Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent> to <Style_Transparent>false</Style_Transparent>

there's 5 matches throughout EQUI_TargetWindow.xml for <Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>

do I change them all? or just one specifically?

edit: scratch that I was looking at EQUI_TargetWindow.bak - some backup file, oops. I found the one line for transparency, and changing it, as you stated made the same grey background as the casting window. perfect! only thing is that the target window box was much larger than the casting window box. so i had to play around with the multiple entries for XY sizes of the box, and found the correct setting under the <Screen item="TargetWindow"> entry.

changing the size <CX> and <CY> to the same size that the EQUI_CastingWindow.xml showed (115, 30) resulted in the perfect match!

thank you!

Getting there! A few more tweaks to font sizes in some panels and it will be perfect!

Thanks Duxa for making such a nice clean interface!

Thanks a lot for asking this as well as the tip on resizing the target window. Had no idea it would be so simple someone with no technical capabilities what so ever like myself could fix it in 30 seconds.

Finally I can kill merbs on sand without having to look towards the sky to double check my target.
