Notum Dovvetech GUI 4.3

Hm, I guess I should've noted that it's for specific themes... I just find that the cursors are too small on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, and the one that's 32px tall, max, I guess, was a way better fit. Easier to spot in the cluttered environment, and immediately visible upon movement.

Thanks for the fast update. Edge is working all fine 'n' dandy now. The day or so with the default UI was HORRIBLE

I have no problem with cursor size on my 27" screen, but forced to play windowed at 1920x1200... wtb new engine already to play full-screen again.

I run windowed too, 2048x1340, AO supports custom resolutions. Doesn't change the fact that the cursor is tiny I have perfect eyesight, but it is still difficult to see it because of poor contrast between it and the game backdrop.

Quick and painless way to remove the 0-9 down the bottom of Notum Darktech?

f10, ndgui settings unselect static horizontal

Prefs -> ndGUI -> Settings -> Uncheck "Shortcut bar numbers:" boxes.

Edit: Hehe, I'm getting slow

I'm trying to figure out how to get my NCU targets list:

to look like this NCU targets list:

I'm using Edge, as I think he is.

Also, on a related note, is there a way to disable fading of new windows?
When I open a new backpack, it fades.

Thanks for any replies, and thanks to everyone involved for the awesome work you've done!

If someone shows me a donation link I'd be glad to throw a little something your way!

That's just some kind of clever window positioning trickery, not GUI work. It's not possible to selectively disable the background elements on some windows but leave them enabled on others like that; there is only one set of textures which is used to build all window instances.

If you look at the entire screenshot, you can see that even the hotbar groups have a similar "fake" window header as if they were in a window... And what's even stranger is that the left side hotbar group is somehow cut after the 5th button, and then there's another set of 4 buttons without any hotbar header... I have no idea how that was done (maybe a non-fading borderless chat window was used to block the 6th column of buttons?). Unless it's some kind of "doctored" image, not an actual screenshot.

My guess is that the nano/fighting target windows are switched to borderless/transparent mode, and a chat window resized to only the header is positioned above them, and that's also how the fake headers are made for the hotbar groups.

The global window fading is hardcoded into the GUI handler, there's no way to affect it from a custom GUI. The pinned state is stored in local files in the Prefs fileset, but the default state is also set by the GUI handler when the window and the associated settings file is first created.

Thanks a lot for the explanations, I'll have to look into editing the xml files

Having issues installing the GUI.

Ive downloaded both the core and a custom theme, I completely exit game, start game, click settings, go to GUI, chenge name to ndGUI, open folder, hit ok on previous screen, Inside folder I copy contents of the 2 downloaded folders (core, and theme) into this folder. Close this folder, start AO, log in..

And I have no gui at all, hit f10, nothing there, just a blank window. Ive reset to default, redownloaded folders from your website 5 times, and attempted to reinstall, carefully following the instructions on the site. Same result everytime.

Help!!!

[Honorbound]

The blank options window means that you either mistyped the GUI name, or have installed at least the core files incorrectly and the game can't find them where they should be.

The folder window you get after clicking on the Open button should have a path similar to this:
"(OS user name) > AppData > Local > Funcom > Anarchy Online > (mix of 8 letters and numbers) > (some folder name, probably "Anarchy Online" again) > Gui"

This is where you need to copy the "ndGUI" folders themselves to from both packages. So if you have done it right, you will see only a single "ndGUI" folder in this window, and nothing else. And then it should work (provided the GUI name was entered correctly).

[Seald]

100% fixed the problem.

I was copying the CONTENTS of core and theme into the GUI Folder, effectively overwriting the other files, Not the FOLDER into the GUI Folder, to create a "sub folder". Thanks for the help

[Honorbound]

Hmm, maybe mentioning the "contents" in the instructions can cause confusion, and since when you copy a folder, its content will also get copied (under normal circumstances anyway), it's kinda pointless too.
I guess I should reword those sentences to make this more clear.

I play at a fairly high resolution is there any way to change the Font Size's in the Infoview Popup Window they are pretty small and a bit hard to read for me. Maybe add it into one of the config editors?

[Honorbound]

Hmm, that's actually a good idea, especially since originally it's set to a larger font, but ndGUI changes it to a smaller one, so offering options could be indeed welcome here. I'll put it on the list, but until a config option is added, you can change the font size by editing the InfoView definition file:

1. Start the launcher, click Settings, GUI tab, click Open next to Skins, Cancel Settings.
2. Go down to "ndGUI\Views", and open "InfoView.xml" with a plaintext editor.
3. Look for the font="MEDIUM" part in the 4th line, change it to font="LARGE" (mind the quotes, they are required around the word LARGE), then save the file.

This should change the info window font back to the default, larger one.
