CONFIGURATION
• Step 1 •
To make the bottom toolbar placed properly, you'll need to modify an X position manually in the "SkinDefinition.xml" file. (Simply edit it with Notepad)
The line you'll need to modify is (Line #25):
<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="448" Y="2000" Width="1024" Height="200">
The rules for calculating the X value is:
X = (Resolution Width - 1024) / 2
Example:
Your resolution is 1440x900
X = (1440 - 1024) / 2 =
208
Thus, the line should read:
<Element ID="ToolbarField" X="
208" Y="2000" Width="1024" Height="200">
Example resolutions: [1024x768: X="0"] [1280x1024: X="128"] [1440x900: X="208"] [1920x1080: X="448"]
• Step 2 •
Log in to game, and select one of the Eclipse themes in the options panel.
(Options > UI Settings > Misc > Current User Skin)
• Step 3 •
To make the panels shown properly, you have to relog the game.
NOTES
• Note 1 •
Eclipse UI has multiple themes, each has its own "SkinDefinition.xml". Check the available themes below to locate the related XML file.
You have to set the X position for each theme you want to use.
• "Eclipse - Heavy" Related XML: "Eclipse\Eclipse-Heavy\SkinDefinition.xml"
• "Eclipse - Heavy X" Related XML: "Eclipse\Eclipse-HeavyX\SkinDefinition.xml"
• "Eclipse - Light" Related XML: "Eclipse\Eclipse-Light\SkinDefinition.xml"
• "Eclipse - Light X" Related XML: "Eclipse\Eclipse-LightX\SkinDefinition.xml"
• Note 2 •
If you are going to use the "Heavy X" or "Light X" themes make sure to read the
Portrait-less "X" themes guide.
• Note 3 •
If you want to use the default skin again, select "None" from the dropdown menu
(Options > UI Settings > Misc > Current User Skin) and restart the game.
