Revert to old item description box size

Title: Option to go back to narrower/original item description box size

Description:
Latest patch turned item description boxes really big supposedly for future description changes, but I find it a bit too big and very unfriendly to custom skins. I don’t know if the potential toggle option mentioned in the latest patch notes will do this, but I’d really like a way to revert back to the original item boxes.

Why is this a good idea?
Still encourages the use of custom UI skins beyond what the server provides. I’ve been using them for a very long time because sometimes it’s easier on my eyes, or just more aesthetically pleasing and I like what the skin artist made. It’s already hard enough to look for skins that work with renewal clients (and that cover most UI element changes), but this update just straight up makes custom skins look messy. It’s unfriendly even to the original RO skin.

I also play with a relatively small monitor/res, so the bigger boxes just take up too much space on my screen, especially when comparing 2 items with really chunky descriptions.

What risks or downsides does it have?
Original width might not work with whatever the supposed future description changes. Some people might prefer bigger boxes. Hopefully the toggle option can do that (let people choose between wider or original widths) but I am unsure if it’s possible?

Additional Info:
Sample of the wider boxes clashing with non-Muh skins (using default RO skin here), and taking up too much space when comparing items with long descriptions.

Use /widedesc

Also Patcher has a feature to fix skins

Thanks, that worked. :head_shaking_vertically:

IMO the Collection UI’s description in the Patcher sounded a bit vague, even when I read the patch notes. I think a wording adjustment could help make it clearer. Some might not know what exactly the collection UI refers to without reading the patch note/looking into the skin folder.

Also it’s not too much of a problem for me as I’m sticking to the original widths, but I just wanted to note that a small caveat of the wide fix is that it might not really mesh well with certain skins still lol. It’s not a problem on collection UIs simpler, solid color bgs though. Anyway, case closed :+1:

I’ll try to adjust the wording.

Yes, some skins might have complex patterns, true. At least it’s not blank? We will likely not invest time into making this feature smarter for now.
