			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone, here are the first Quality Of Life improvements I have made for myself regarding the new client.</p><p>For safety reasons, i&#039;m not posting any files... but rather, i&#039;ll just tell you what to change.</p><p>Now, I have the game set to play at 1600x900, fullscreen. Takes advantage of the increased screen coverage we get, without going all the way to 1920x1080 and making some things too tiny. <strong>The changes I made work with absolute values.</strong> While they do sort of work with smaller resolutions, and work with 1920x1080, using a resolution other than 1600x900 will require tweaking. Thankfully, you&#039;ll learn how to do it here.</p><p>You can set a custom resolution by editing the Settings.User.xml in the Gui folder in your main Faldon directory.</p><p><span class="bbu"><strong>Larger, easier to read Say/Emote chat.</strong></span><br />Open your Faldon folder and navigate to &gt; Gui &gt; Interfaces.<br />Open the <strong>Says And Emotes.xml</strong> in a text editor, such as Notepad++<br />In the 7th line, you&#039;ll see <strong>&lt;Integer Key=&quot;Font.Size.Default&quot; Value=&quot;<span style="color: red">xx</span>&quot;/&gt;</strong>. Change that value to <strong>20</strong>.<br />In the 11th line, you&#039;ll see <strong>&lt;String Key=&quot;Font.Default&quot; Value=&quot;<span style="color: red">Default</span>&quot;/&gt;</strong>. Change Default to <strong>Bold</strong>. (Capital B)<br />Save that file.</p><p><span class="bbu"><strong>Larger, easier to read Chat Box &amp; Status message area.</strong></span><br /><em>Adjusting the Status Message Area:</em><br />Open your Faldon folder and navigate to &gt; Gui &gt; Interfaces.<br />Open the <strong>Status Message Area.xml</strong> in a text editor, such as Notepad++<br />In the 4th line, you&#039;ll see <strong>&lt;Integer Key=&quot;Font.Size.Default&quot; Value=&quot;<span style="color: red">xx</span>&quot;/&gt;</strong>. Change that value to <strong>18</strong><br />In the 7th line, you&#039;ll see <strong>&lt;Integer Key=&quot;Offset.Y&quot; Value=&quot;<span style="color: red">-xx</span>&quot;/&gt;</strong>. Change that value to <strong>-52</strong><br />In the 10th line, you&#039;ll see <strong>&lt;String Key=&quot;Font.Default&quot; Value=&quot;<span style="color: red">Default</span>&quot;/&gt;</strong>. Change Default to <strong>Bold</strong>. (Capital B)<br />Save that file.</p><p><em>Adjusting the Chat Box</em> - This one i&#039;ll just post the code to replace it with.<br />Navigate to &gt; Gui &gt; Forms &gt; Lower Game Toolbar.<br />Open the <strong>Layout.xml</strong> in a text editor, such as Notepad++. Ignore the Layout.old.xml<br />Scroll down to line <strong>246</strong>. You&#039;ll want to highlight lines <strong>246 to 252</strong> and paste this over them (you can also just compare side by side and make changes)</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>  &lt;Container Key=&quot;Chat Container&quot; Width=&quot;720&quot; Height=&quot;160&quot; AcceptsZChange=&quot;False&quot; StartPosition=&quot;Bottom&quot; YOffset=&quot;-57&quot;
             Transparent=&quot;True&quot; PickChildrenOnly=&quot;True&quot;&gt;
