This UI doesn't handle position/location, so I have no idea what to tell you
Find a long cast spell, cast it, and find it. Typically it is stacked in the upper left with other windows and the MQ window overlays on top.
far top right just barely visible corner under the buff window YAY!!!
Sic updated Zliz - Sic/Kaen version with a new update entry:

I downloaded and have enjoyed it very much. It fits my personal aesthetic, but it also frees up some screen space over default.
However, I wanted a different target ring, so I found one I wanted to use on EQinterface. Specifically, Elanthian Ring of Power updated for ToL.
The installation instructions say to copy the files and paste them directly into your UI folder (Zliz in this case) - which I did - and it doesn't work. The UI is unaffected but the target ring is unchanged.
Can someone point me to a fix?
Much appreciated and thanks again for the UI of minimalist Nirvana.

Using this UI on Teek, i know there will be some obvious issues right out the gate but for the most part it has run smoothly and i love the total look.
I wanted to make hotkeys for some of my clicky items and found that each time i try to click on the item and hold to drag it to a hotkey, it crashes my client.

The fix here is to uncheck using the new UI in your settings, apparently not specific to this particular UI mod.
Not a UI issue as far as I know. There's nothing "special" about it.
imo you shouldn't run eq in fullscreen mode - eq has issues going fullscreen and then un-fullscreen (like tabbing) etc
but no, these days I use viewport with 1920x1080 setting on an ultrawidescreen
Hey my dude, I aint Sic, but he would probably ask you what your resolution is!
In general just know that EQ doesn't truly support any other resolutions than the oldschool 4:3; it just draws in 4:3 and chops off whatever portion it needs from the top and bottom to fit on your screen. This causes an issue where your vertical field of view suffers quite a bit, and you may feel like you are "zoomed in" more than you should be (and this may not even be noticeable if you've never played on 4:3. This can be overcome with MQ2Camera as well).
It gets even weirder from my understanding, ultrawide monitors will actually start to cause oddities like misaligned particles.
Some of us viewport, adding black bars on the left and right, go get back closer to this 4:3. Adding your UI stuff there covers up those black portions anyways.
Some of us don't care and just have some top and bottom cut off.
Some of us have hugely wide monitors and just use EQ on a portion of those monitors to avoid the particle issues or for convenience.
Some of us still play on 2004 Sony Trinitrons that weigh 70lbs.
Amongst dudes that multibox, IS boxer, etc, you are going to have 8000 answers, I'm thinking.
You can see what some other dudes here have to say about viewports:
Guide - - Ultra-wide Display 4k, 5k, viewport, and you. AKA Floating particle effects
So if you use a 4k (3440 x 1440) or 5k (5120x1440) monitor and you run EQ at full resolution it is actually stretching everything. EQ's max supportable resolution without distortion is 2560 x 1440 or 16:9 aspect ratio. you can push it to 2879 1440 which is 18:9 aspect ratio but you will...

Tip - - EQ Viewport - new to me info
Saw this posted on the forums. I didn't know it, so thought I would share. EQ has the /viewport command. This command will allow you to change the viewport (the area of the window where your view is drawn) from the default (full window) to an area you specify. /viewport
www.redguides.com
The /viewport command has some help built in game, but reading about it here at EQ Interface was how I learned it way back in the day.

Tried this out for the first time today. Seems like most of the compilations on EQInterface are out of date and nobody cares anymore. No one has updated for the new Overseer stuff yet and it's been a week. It's not that I am impatient, it just seems to be getting worse and worse. A ton of people have quit playing the game. It shows in the Bazaar and also now EQInterface. Sorry rant off.
Anyways just a basic question for you guys. I tried to change some positions around in the UI and found one that wouldn't move. The EQ button of all things, I tried right click and hold, left click all the alt, cntl, and shift combos, nothing worked. And the DB store icon is gone too, but at least I know how to get to that from menu's. Any help on how to move the EQ Button please?
Thanks in advance for any help.

my eq button moves as expect. you should right click it and ensure it isn't locked
Sic
It doesn't bring up a menu when I right click on it at all. So I can't see if it is locked or not. Didn't I read somewhere that I could go into an ini file or the EQclient file and unlock it manually? Sorry I can't remember now what it was. Here is what it looks like, is it supposed to be that small?

Wow really, really sorry about the name thing. I wasn't even looking at that. <hangs his head in shame> Sorry man.
And you were right as usual, I didn't have my cursor right on the very edge of the window. The tiny size of the box was really throwing me off. That let me move it.
Thanks for the help Sic, appreciate it man. And I really don't hate my toon. Thanks for taking the SS down so I don't get banned.
