UI Help

[killobit]

So, I've been working on my user interface and have it mostly the way I want.  When I load the window file it places all of my windows exactly where I want them.  The only issue I am still having is the power trays.  I always have to press the little arrow to the right of my first power tray a couple times to get the additional trays.  Does anyone know of a way either through a slash command or something in the window file itself that can have it automatically expand that out to to the full 3 trays?

I make sure mine are open and then use /wdwsave so when I /wdwload they are right.  Never had an issue with them shrinking on me.

[killobit]

Sorry, I was unclear.  I mean when I create a new character I always have to re-open the full three trays.  I was wondering if there were a slash command that I could use to open them as a default or something.

[EmmySky]

Ah!  Okay....when I get back home I will test some ideas for that.  You are right, new toons have to open them, I am trying to slow down my making of alts so I had forgotten.

[Vulpoid]

If I understand correctly, If you do what EmmySky has directed EVERY new character can load EXACTLY the settings you had when you typed /wdwsave.
When the new character appears in Atlas, type /wdwload and BOOM! Magic.

Are you saying you don't get 3 open trays numbered 1, 2, 3 and stacked how you want them?

That is correct.  Like the insp window being shrunk down to just the bottom line, power trays only show one on new characters even after a solid /wdwload.

 

I am wondering if there is a windowshow command name for them or that will trigger an expand?  I would like the expand for my insp window on new toons to automatically resize as I lvl up instead of having to hit the arrow.  /wdwload has them in the right place but not expanded properly.

Hit the right alt key twice and all three trays will be open.

you'll have to still set the tray number for them, though.

 

Occasionally, I'll hit the right alt while in the middle of combat and trays 2 and 3 will disappear.

It's mildly annoying when it happens.

Still hoping for a "Lock my trays, DAMMIT!" command.

I'm forever accidentally clicking the little arrows mid-fight and finding out my travel tray has seized the position of my combat tray.*

Perils of being a clicker.

 

* To be fair, once I am resting comfortably on the carpet I have plenty of time to fix this.

I'm not a clicker and I run into that same problem at times.

I use the 1 through 0 keys for my attacks, and accidentally hit the - key on occasion.

Then I find my primary tray on tray 9 (and usually empty) instead of 1.

 

I just haven't gotten around to rebinding/unbinding the - and = keys.

This is really old, but seems only half-answered.

 

The short-short form is to carefully arrange your UI as you like it, including some judicious use of /windowscale to adjust window sizes as you like, and then save it using /wdwsave. It should always come up in that configuration. (Saving should not affect that.) And if you mess it up, use /wdwload to put everything right again.

 

The next step from that is to use the file-name versions of load and save so you can save custom layouts for each alt.

OK, you guys necroed this thread, so I felt obligated to add: The wonderful, thoughtful, lovely and talented Devs DID make a "Lock Tray Numbers" to go along with "Lock Powers in Tray!"

 

Blessings upon 'em!

It's in Options:Windows:Powers, right below "Lock Powers in Tray."

Sure, do it the hard way.

 

Or just right-click on the tray and toggle "Lock Tray Number" and/or "Lock Powers in Tray"...
