How to Adjust UI for Larger MonitorFollow

I'm using an ASUS monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. The main issue I'm having is not being able to resize the spell bar which is teeny on this resolution. I've tried various resolutions from the in-game video selector and either see no change or a huge, fuzzy screen on the lower resolutions. I can resize most other elements of the UI but the spell bar is an issue.

Any work-arounds, ideas, alternate UIs, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!

I assume that you are using the default UI? The best thing to do is make a new folder in your uifiles folder for a custom UI. You can then download a custom spell bar at eqinterface.com. To find the spell bars, click on the Downloads link on the left, interface pieces, and then spell bar. Then find the spell bar you like, download it and then unzip it if it's zipped up and stick the xml file in that custom ui folder you made. In game, ALT O to open the options window, on the general tab click on the Load UI Skin button and choose the custom ui folder you made. That will load the spell bar you downloaded.

Now hopefully the spell bar you downloaded is up to date and it loads. You'll come across some that haven't been updated in years.

You can also download a completely custom ui from that same site as well, I would stick to either the featured ui's or complete sets, they are usually updated. There are many great UI authors that still keep their UI's up to date. My ui is a mix of different authors pieces and some completely built by myself. If you want to customize your window pieces, let me me know I can can show you what to do.

Do you mean the original UI at game launch? Even back in 1999 that thing was f u n k y. It was a throwback to standard RPG interfaces from the early 90's. In fact I remember thinking that the first time I logged into EQ. It was like watching a move at the theater while wearing a scuba mask! Hah.

Here's an old RPG screenshot:

Boy. I'm as nostalgic and "old school" as they come and even I didn't really like the original UI. It felt very constrained!

That would be Luclin which gave us the expression "Luclin models", which were redesigns of a lot of races requiring better video cards to display effectively.
