To change parts of the 51.dat in the "x modify with drag and drop elements" folder.
Quote:
Click Texhammer made by Korith, to start program.
After installing the mod, make sure you're logged out of FFXI.
Drag 51.dat into copy into texhammer, lots of images show up.
To change the pointer arrow from modded to original, goto images/pointers and drag "anc anc" file into "anc anc" box
To change the font used for nameplate, font font (main font):
vanilla is the normal XI font, different battle numbers adds different numbers that show up when you hit something. Treb is the font used in previous verisons of XIview and LoL is league of legends type font)
To change the mission/npcdialogue pointer drag "anc btwait" into "anc btwait" box.
(Original is the original versions of these images)
To change the color of macro keys from blue to grey:
Drag either of the 2 files in macro keys folder to the "menu gauge" box
To change the box type for all gear and the equip screen drag and drop the modded or orig file to the "itemslot" box.
To change Job Point stars, job point stars (condensed if using that 51.dat) drag and drop into the "menu ustashd" box near the bottom.
Press save at the top right and make sure to save it as 51.dat and not 51_HD.dat.

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.
