Since SOE has decided that making the new nice LFG window useless by ambushing us with LFG every time we log on, filling the list with people who are not actually LFG, I thought a UI solution might be the way to go.

This mod puts a small indicator on your screen of whether you are LFG or LFM. In addition, a single left click will change your status (LFG/not). Right clicking in the LFG window will bring up the LFG search window.

To install:
If you've never installed a UI mod before:
Unzip this file in your Vanguard/VGUIAssets/Shells directory

Open with notepad Vanguard/bin/vgclient.ini

Find the line that reads:
ShellName=Default

change it to
ShellName=Mothers

Save and close

Load Vanguard

If you have another Mothers UI mod installed:
Open your Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/Mothers/textures folder

copy mothers_widgets_01.tga and mothers_widgets_01.xml to this folder overwriting the files that are already there

Open your Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/mothers/windows folder

copy VGUILFG.xml to this folder.

Open with notepad Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/mothers/index.xml

Find the line that reads:
<GameplayWindows directory="Windows">

Immediately after it, add:
<Window filename="VGUILFG.xml"/>

Save and close and load Vanguard

If you have another UI mod installed: (For example, Drox)
Open your Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/Drox/textures folder

copy mothers_widgets_01.tga and mothers_widgets_01.xml to this folder

Open your Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/Drox/windows folder

copy VGUILFG.xml to this folder.

Open with notepad Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/Drox/index.xml

Find the line that reads:
<GameplayWindows directory="Windows">

Immediately after it, add:
<Window filename="VGUILFG.xml"/>

Save and close

Open with notepad Vanguard/VGUIAssets/shells/Drox/skininfo.xml

Find the line that reads:
<AnimationDefinitions directory="Textures">
