“I know in the new UI file section there is a window called GroupWindow.html which is odd because it still uses the original group window file. I know at least one person has said their group window was white so there has to be something with the new changes that are causing some of the white windows even though the original UI file is still being used. I have not been able to find anything in the files themselves that would cause it but I am guessing it is some kind of issue relating to the graphic card being used.”

Well, it most certainly shouldn't be pulling those since they're not completed... but if it is somehow accidentally pulling several more windows, I'd suggest a possible fix would be to copy those xml files over too like we did the announced ported ones.

Theoretically, adding the xml files for whatever windows are still showing white to the custom UI folder will fix the issue just like it did for the inventory window... but since I don't have the bug, I don't know the entirety of which windows are affected.

Aye. Nuke it from orbit and copy all the .xml files. I.e. override all the default windows for the time being.

Tried the fix. No luck. Even tried uninstall and re-download. No help. I am not skilled enough to pull it off.

The fix listed here did work. I actually can now see windows I didn't even realize were missing. The inventory was still shockingly white but I could see much more OF it and was able to then go into the background color and select black. Now it looks perfect!

Thank you for this solution. Rather amazed that all these months later this hasn't been fixed.

“Posted by Emilari (I made the steps that are required in bold the rest is part of his post but can be skipped if you know the folder location. I also don't use a custom UI so if you are maybe just copy the 4 files into the current folder since if they are missing it reverts back to the default style we are trying get away from)

Step 1: Log out of EQ. (this isn't needed I was able to do it without logging out)

Step 2: Load the patcher, but instead of logging in, click the little "Advanced Tools" gear close to the bottom left corner.

Step 3: Click "Open Game Directory."

Step 4: Open the "uifiles" folder in your EQ directory.

Step 5: Create a new subfolder. Mine will be called "EmilariUI" for the purposes of this example.

Step 6: Open the "default" subfolder and copy the following 4 files to the new subfolder created in step 5: EQUI_Inventory.xml , EQUI_QuantityWnd.xml , EQUI_SelectorWnd.xml , and EQUI_StoryWnd.xml.

Step 7: Log into EQ.

Step 8: type and enter "/loadskin UIFolderName 1" in a chat window. (IE: /loadskin EmilariUI 1)"

The space and 1 at the end is important to retain the position all your windows load in; if you don't add it, you'll have to reposition your windows.”

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! Just came back to EQ after a long break (since July 2022), and was about to throw in the towel when I saw how they screwed up the inventory window!
