I downloaded and am have been playing around with DDO. Is there anyway to adjust your hotbar sizes? On a 1920x1200 monitor the hotbars are incredibly small.

I would like to know also, because it is gettin tiring having to sit so close to the monitor. NcSoft has perfected the paid for grindfest, and I am sad because of it :-( |

Umm..that thread is over 18 months old.... It also doesnt answer the question...I also would like to have at least 1 longer hotbar instead of lots of short ones. |

Yes, the thread is old but if you read it, it tells you where you can download skins for the game that let you change the size of your hotbars. Edit: to the latest poster - No, there is no way to get more than 10 slots on any bar. I don't believe that was what the OP was referring to; he wanted to change the SIZE of the hotbar, not the number of slots in it. |

You can't resize anything, only re-skin... I played around with skins when they first came out but not being able to resize anything made it completly usless (to me). |

Well if thats the case then DDO just got uninstalled.

If I understood the OP correctly, the problem is that the hotbars are too small at his resolution. The post I linked explains how the skin that is linked there can be used to change the size of everything in the UI [Quote] It's for the DDO game. It basically exposes the art assets that are used for the in game UI (windows, icons, etc) and allows you to modify how they are displayed and what images are used. The images are presented in a TGA format ( see here if you want to be able to view the TGA files as thumbnails in windows explorer -- http://greggman.com/pages/thumbplug_tga.htm ) You would create new art assets (or modify the provided ones) and then adjust the XML file accordingly. It allows you to fully adjust the imaging / layout / sizing of UI (menus, hotbars, inventory, etc) components to suit your needs. You can look around the downloads section for LoTRO to see some of the very artistic and clean UI changes some of the members of that community have developed. You will need a graphics editor that is able to handle TGA format to work with the images (even if you install the tool to let you see the thumbnails). [/qoute] I've only read the first page of posts about this skin, but it appears by the comments that it will do what you want: nice thing is, you can download the skin right there, too. |

Unfortunatly, DDO doesn't get all the options that LOTRO gets. It's still in the beta stages for us and there have been no updates for the new mod 9 ui elements yet. http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/cat40.html |
