This link is to download "Notepad++" to make life easier

Now for the fun part
Your Game UI information is in your %appdata/local/swtor/swtor/settings/GUIProfiles...
Here you will find the one that you use... you can 'edit' this and start doing crazy stuff...
DO NOT DO ANY OF THIS WITH YOUR GAME OPEN/RUNNING!
I "Believe".... this is the one you wish to change...
<GCWindow>
*Add a scaling line to that section like one of these examples.
<scale Type="3" Value="1.500000" /> =150%
<scale Type="3" Value="0.800000" /> =80%
<scale Type="3" Value="0.500000" /> =50%
Make your change, save the file, and then load up your Game to test...
If you want to play it smart, make a backup of the GUIprofile before you start playing with it.
Enjoy!
I got these values firstly:
<GCWindow>
<AnchorOffsetX Type="3" Value="0.000000" />
<AnchorOffsetY Type="3" Value="0.000000" />
<AnchorAlignment Type="3" Value="9.000000" />
Then switched offsetY to 0.8, then x to 0.8, then last thing to 0.8. Nothing.
The thing is all of my chars using same GUI. And some of them have this problem and some arent.
UPD: maybe worth mentioning - when I just logging to problem char for first and only for the first time tooltip is fine, but if I move mouse away and back - problem appears.
Hello ?
Sorry I didn't see this, (In the future if your looking for a specific answer from a specific person you can type @ and you will get a list of names of folks that have participated in the chat, or you can do the @ and manually type out the persons name and EA (behind the scenes) will email that person directing them to your post.
Umm I wasn't suggesting that you change the X/Y anchors, but more so add a 4th line ie: something like I suggested would then scale down that particular window making it smaller, as it appears you do not have exactly a Large screen so 'Screen Real Estate' is at an all time high High Commodity price.
Tbh I'm not very strong in scripting or editing files of such type. Plus I'm not native English. If you could give me a hand with edit of that file I would really appreciate.
But still, are u sure that problem in GUI file ? As I said before I'm using 1 GUI for all characters and some of them have this bug and most of them - not.
Sure give me 5 minutes to make coffee and I will have it all typed up for you.
*I'll just re-edit this post
OK here it is .. I worked on it .. and I have clearly missed something due to my lack of coffee, as at present the scale isn't working as intended.
I will keep working on it shortly once I clear my head of the distractions going on today..
*Super fast 'Short Term' fix would be to make your Profile Read Only as it works for the first one you said.
Your Game UI information is in your
%appdata/local/swtor/swtor/settings/GUIProfiles...
Right Click your profile file and select properties and change to Read Only.
