Desktop lockdown. is it possible?

[Xalan Dementia]

Ive always wished there was a way to lock down my desktop setup on uo. my spells, my skill buttons, my pack, paperdoll, hp bar etc. I know with the new client its alittle better with the hotbars but i still end up slightly moving my icons when clicking them. why not make an option that locks everything in place?

make it read only and it will stay the same forever.

everytime you log in... it is the same.

you will crash everytime you log out...

Go and download the new UOSA client.
The hotbars now click to one another.
Way kewl..

Yes it is possible. I haven't tired it, but you can freeze some of the windows using the Command macro:

Examples:
script Debug.PrintToChat(L"UI (Un)Freezing...")
script _doFreeze = _WindowGetShowing( "ResizeWindow" )
script WindowSetShowing( "ResizeWindow", not _doFreeze )
script WindowSetMovable( "StatusWindow", not _doFreeze )
script ChatWindow.LockWindow( _doFreeze )
script WindowSetMovable( "MenuBarWindow", not _doFreeze )
script WindowSetMovable( "MenuBarWindowMinimized", not _doFreeze )
script Debug.PrintToChat(L"UI Frozen? "..StringToWString( tostring(_doFreeze) ) )

And how do you unlock them? I entered the lockdown commands, but now can't toggle them back to unlock.

In the legacy client, there's no way to lock down the gumps/icons.

However, you can create a couple of batch files, 1 to copy your settings to a backup folder, and a second to copy from your backup folder to the char/account you are playing.

No crash issues compared to the read-only method.

Everytime you make changes you wanna keep, run the batch that backs up your settings.

Everytime you make changes you don't wanna keep, run the other batch.

In KR, Lucitus has a UI that he has available that will lock hotbars in place, that feature is also in the current BB_Enhanced versions as well.

Can't do it in SA, YET, but I'm sure when we can put in custom UIs that it will be added in.

2d... out of luck.
