Utility UI Saver 01/26/2024

Saves / restores the old UI EQ ingame window positions, sizes and background color.

CAUTION: multiple chat container windows (and possibly other windows where multiple windows have the same name() are currently not supported. Will probably remain that way for a bit. Workaround: just reposition the "Main Chat" window and keep the other chat windows to the top left of your screen.

Use:
/lua run uisaver [name of setting] save (opt: default)

saves your config under

MQcfg/uisaver/[Server]_[Char]-[Settingname].cfg

- or, if you add "default" as option under

MQcfg/uisaver/default-[Settingname].cfg

To restore settings, use

/lua run uisaver [name of setting] restore (opt: default)

for verbose settings, enclose name of setting in quotes (if really needed, no char replacement!) i.e. /lua run uisaver 'this is just a test' save or use a continuous name

.cfg is added to filenames

If you need to open windows you can use /lua run uisaver open1 or /lua run uisaver open2 to open sets of windows, move them around and save positions.

To give you an idea about the usage:

/dgae /lua run uisaver UWXGA save

Saves the current state of UI for my toons on my main screen
Now, I move my EQ window of one toon to smol screen and rearrange window sizes and positioning

/lua run uisaver FULLHD save default

Saves a boilerplate template for my side screen.

I move all toons to side screen

/lua run uisaver FULLHD restore default

/lua run uisaver FULLHD save

All toons now have a FHD profile.

In Buttonmaster, I now create Hotbuttons:

MainScreen
/lua run uisaver UWXGA restore
(switching back to main screen on single char)

SideScreen
/lua run uisaver FullHD restore
(maybe just have the tank on side screen, rest of the team grinding away in background behind work windows on main)

MainScreen All
/dgae /lua run uisaver UWXGA restore
(all toons back to main screen for extra glory)

SideScreen All
/dgae /lua run uisaver FullHD restore
(might be doing a small raid where I need to switch between chars, while still doing other stuff on main screen)

MainScreen Save
/dgae /lua run uisaver UWXGA save
I changed stuff on one char and want to persist that setting on main

SideScreen Save
/dgae /lua run uisaver FullHD save
I changed stuff on one char and want to persist that setting on side
