Problem - (solved) My chat window shows at different color with lua started?

[Dragonslayer]

with Lua started chatchannel are almost "greyed out"

without Lua:

other windows like the mq window:

and others like loot window or felloswship or any other which are opened during the gameplay seems to have the text collor identic to the background-window.

If I start eq and run kissassist without running any Lua, this behavior does not "activate"

Any suggestions how I can narrow down the source of these problems

this is likely because you have a Lua controlled window slightly outside the eqclient. as those windows will put the eqclient in the background then and for me it changes the gamma slightly, darkening the eqclient.

/Lua stop
+ /reloadui does not stop the effect
but:
an additional zoning afterwards changes all back to normal

many thanks @kaen01 for your attempt to help
acutally I start Lua with a hotbutton:
/Lua stop
/Lua run buttonmaster
/timed 100; /Lua run alertmaster

the buttonmaster-window is located far from any border
the alertmaster has its output at the mq-window

Your server's general chat is way nicer than my server's general chat. Do you have the option for windowed gamma turned on? I think you should turn that off, but I'd be curious if this is part of the problem or not.

this has nothing to do with Lua and everything to do with the overlay tech. just FYI
check advanced graphics options in eq and see if changing any of them has an effect.
