Question - Locking EQWindow position from moving?

[BlueBug]

I play on a 5120x1440 monitor so I can't play full screen and have to use Windowed Mode. Which is cool since I use Enable Viewports and have the mGui MQ windows on the sides.

BUT....(there is always a BUT huh) since I use a couple of different EQ folders the windows have moved slightly over time so they don;t overlap correctly. One lil to the right, one to the left, and so on.

I Googled and only thing I could find was about the in game windows, is there a way y'all know or can think of to LOCK the main game window so when I'm a lil drunk I don't F up the window positions?

I went in and manually reset the EQ Client.ini and man, when one doesn't know what he;'s doing it's a PITA.


Thanks folks,

BB~

This was my 1st thought. But when we raid I change a few windows for notifications / Event Messages and such that I don't use regularly.

Maybe different .ini for group and raids. Hmmmm

If you really wanted to go down the rabbit hole on this one, you could use symlinking to have a "different" eq install for that second ini.

Seems excessive, but so is half of what we do!
You could also just save a copy of it (or a snippet of it, commented out) and when your misclicking self jacks it up, copy back over.

That’s what I do, I have a folder with just inis in it. So when I screw something up I can just copy over the clean one

Thanks man. This is useful info. Especially the descriptions on the right. Helps from having to Google-Fu each item separately. There is SOOOOO much stuff in the .ini I have no clue what it's for.
