Flip a Coin

Flip a Coin

...or 100 million of them. I'm not going to gripe about how pricey things are getting in-game. Norrath has been good to me over the years but I still take a deep breath whenever I click the buy button on the Broker and watch all those zillions of plat disappear.

A Tooltip Tip

A Tooltip Tip

No matter which size UI you're using, almost all of the odd bits and pieces like conversation bubbles, examine windows and signage, are scaled appropriately. But one important part of the UI that you can resize without help from DarqUI is complex tooltips. Those are the ones for ...

When Min/Maxing Goes Bad

Here's a new option for a DarqUI-modified component. If you've been in Discord you may have noticed that Darq Side member chief was having a devil of a time with his Mercenary window not long ago. Chief likes everything including his UI to be just so (we can than...

Blind Hog Finds Two Acorns in One Week

A Familiar Feature

We've been able to summon and switch preconfigured mounts (and appearance mounts if you're a patron) from the Icon Bar or with a hotkey for a while now. And in fact our current Tip of the Week demonstrates Remote Mount Presets.

Time and Time Again

Time and Time Again

Recently, Darq Side member Meisa was wondering aloud in Discord about where she could find Norrath time in numerical form. I've always been partial to the sun-and-moon clock for its imprecise, fantasy oriented representation of game time. You can mouse over that to see Norrath an...

Help Has Arrived

Help Has Arrived

With the release of Visions of Vetrovia this month, the game developers decided to remove the in-game browser, at least for now. You could argue that it's not much of a loss, since the browser client was so outdated and miserable that it was next to useless anyway.

But the ...

Off to a Big Start

Off to a Big Start

One of ProfitUI's signature components is the Start Button mod which offers nine macro-like icons that perform one-click operations such as hiding pets, displaying the lockout timer window, and so on. By default the icons are displayed in a 3x3 layout, although the window can be ...

Okay I'll admit it. That title is clickbait. But it's true, sort of. The Guild window got big, as in L and XL sizes have been added to the premium server. Would you believe there are 27 custom files involved in the Guild window? You can see a couple of the more obvious o...

After the Pumpkin Pie

After the Pumpkin Pie

One of our Thanksgiving traditions is to go around the table(s) and talk about something from the past year that we're thankful for. I was almost the last one, so by the time we got to me we had heard all about kids, home, friends, Lego blocks, football, getting past this year's health issues, ma...

Here's an answer to a request that's been made many times, but it was Darq Side members Xyntress and Valorie who finally got me off my butt to do it. Take a look, even if you're already a pro at setting up DarqUI or ProfitUI CE. You can skip to a certai...

Pet Project

Pet Project

Here's one of those mini-improvements that I think pet classes will approve of. It's pretty straightforward: click-to-cure pet detriment placeholder icons. They're almost transparent and they don't appear all the time -- only during combat and when you mouse over the Pet window. Click the screens...

Maintained Maintenance

Maintained Maintenance

The DarqUI Maintained window is a little bit different from most of our other windows because it doesn't have Normal, Large and X-Large sizes to download separately. It's been designed to resize internally depending on the icon size that you set in Window Manager. I wish all the windows could wor...

Mercenary Search is indeed a thing, and the button to open it is in the Character window on the pop-out Mercenary Stats sidebar. Not exactly my favorite place to put it, but there is also a command, /merc_search, that will surface the window.
