For non-pc owners sure :x

It really is easy to change on PC though: My small "guide'ishthing"

I've seen backgrounds available on the windower website that are available to use that aren't in that rar file, including one that makes the background and border of the background completely invisible which might be nice or might not, depends on the user.

If mods are reading, it would be awesome if you could copypasta that post of Kali's and sticky/lock it in it's own thread.

Or I could just make a topic that involves a little more of what you can do to modify your dats that are safe.

Was thinking about it but just haven't got to it yet.

I have downloaded one! It's just annoying when updates overwrite it.

I think I just wet myself reading that...

The one largest complaint I've had about FFXI for years now was the chat window, and now it may finally be enhanced. Now if they could just implement a 2nd optional chat window with it own custom chat filters. Well I can dream can't I, lol.

Yea, but that comes with changing dats :(

I guess...there could be a way to write a file to do it every update by installing the dats you have/want but idk how you could do that.

I can see the UI breaking

Windower doesn't really deal with how the macro palette looks

they aren't changing the status icons yet, so that wont change.

Chatlog progras that changed the hight, including the new windower plugin, will break.

Windower completely though shoudln't

As long as I can keep my recast, time stamp chatlog, and spellcast I don't give a ***.

I love and hate timestamp, wish it was toggleable so you don't see it in screenshots and when you don't want to see it but you could enable to to look back at a chat line and see what time it was at.

I dont foresee any major breakage with this update. Chatmon might change a little memloc wise and everyone elses chat and logging programs might have to update their memlocs. Its hard to say about timestamp as of yet. But yea windower wont break because of this. It will take another major expansion pack to break windower again. That or damage it greatly.

On a side note, this could offer some new ideas and oportunities to 3.5 soo we will be looking into this when it comes out on the main servers.
