THESE FILES MAY NEED TO BE UPDATED AFTER A PATCH IF THE DEVELOPERS UPDATE THE UI. 90% of patches they will be fine, but sometimes these files need to be updated and I'll post a new version if this is the case here. Check date at the top.

Tech issues:

If you notice the cursor in the game is a small white arrow when installing this mod, make sure you have hardware mouse turned on in the FFXI config program or in the windower config (windower config via the pencil icon on the laucnher overrides xi config/registry). This provides the normal proper pointer arrow.

If you notice buff icons are not showing, but everything else is. Goto config on FFXI, then misc and pick icon type 2.

If you notice the chat font is blurred a little, this is because of DGVoodoo and the anti-aliasing setting being applied to the font sheet. Alter the settings for that in dgvoodoo.
