Hi
I use the 'Default_Old' due to the Icons being larger and have more contrast for my ancient eyes than the 'New UI'
Since PoR came out. It indeed finally went beyond a bit of file deleting and pasting to keep 'Default_Old' running. But over at EQ Interfaces I found Oderry's 'Oderry_POR_BigBank.zip' in
EQInterface downloads > Interface Pieces > Bank window
This fixes the main failure of the old UI that stops it working entirely with PoR, mainly by providing 'Old_UI' compatable files for:
EQUI_BigBankWnd.xml
EQUI_BankWnd.xml
There are a number of ways to keep the 'Default_Old' UI current.
The way I did it was to create a new UI folder called 'Real_UI' and copied over all the 'Default_Old' files. I then copied the following files out of 'Default' into 'Real_UI' overwriting old files or adding to the list:
EQUI_BlockedPetBuffWnd.xml
EQUI_BlockedBuffWnd.xml
EQUI_AuraWnd.xml
EQLSUI_CreditsWnd.xml
EQUI_AdvancedDisplayOptionsWnd.xml
EQUI_GuildManagementWnd.xml
EQUI_RaidOptionsWindow.xml
EQUI.xml
EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml
Plus the following graphics file as it has some new items in it:
dragitem34.tga
I also copied over the cursors as they are the only part of the 'New' UI I like.
You can also copy over the new:
EQLS_background_01.tga
EQLS_background_02.tga
EQLS_background_03.tga
EQLS_background_04.tga
EQLS_background_05.tga
EQLS_background_06.tga
If you want the newer background to login etc.
Finally I added both of Oderry's new bank files.
While it's not the most elegant or technically savvy way of doing it, it works for me with no in game errors or problems
While over at EQInterface they do have a couple of slicker solutions.
I found that some were a wee bit beyond my capabilities
Hehe!
But I am trying Kivuli's "Default_old PoR compatible big bank" today that adds Text Labels to each of the slots in a variant of the new large Bank Window. See if that will help my memory as well as my eyes
