XI View 2.0 is the continued work on the project to update FFXIs GUI to look cleaner and for status icons to be easier to understand at a glance, this was formerly known as Brandson's UI,FFXI Style or XI View from Darkshade.
I'd like to keep this called XI View, because most everyone from the windower community knows it as that.With that, I will start it as XI View 2.0 and have the title screen with the current date that it was updated.
XI View 2.0 includes updated Status Icons, Fonts,Menu icons, Graphic User Interface and Menu Skins for wide screen 16:9/16:10 displays. (This still works with 4:3 monitors it's just the pearl/bazzar icons next to you name will be smaller.)
To install XI View download then extract the archive and copy the
ROM folder to your FFXI directory choosing yes when prompted to
overwrite any files.
$:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\
$:\Program Files (x86)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\
$:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\ffxi\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\
$:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ffxi\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\
If you don't like the changes I've made, be sure to backup these files before overwriting your dats.

Special thanks goes to Darkshade for the original XI View and what he's done over the last year.
Kactuar, for fixing the Icon changer program to accept the new 32x32 Icons. And Deathbringer for the ability to change the ingame fonts and cursors.
Also, thanks Shinobi and Chef James with your help and creating new custom icons! Much appreciated!
- Discontinued support for French and German and 4:3 screen UI due to SE dropping support for those languages.
