Basically it just restores the defaults, but in order to work that file has to be placed at the top of the Package Mode list. So when you add them it'll look like:
notsoclearskills.tpf
clearskills.tpf
othermodshere.tpf

As I mentioned before I seem to have accidentally deleted the dds files for the mod some time ago, so in order to fix it properly I'm going to have to recreate the whole thing from scratch. Not that that's entirely a bad thing, as I can fix up a few of the problems like the elite skill outline, and putting some sort of thin border around the skills for some added finish. It's more a matter of getting the ambition to do it.. >_>

Excellent, just tried it and it works like a treat! Thanks very much! IMO this should of been in your original release.

Tell me more about these elite borders. What needs to be fixed?

You know there was a time that the "default" GW UI didn't have those hex and enchantment icons on them? :P That might be part of why some players don't feel the need for them while others do, as some of us learned without them anyway. If/when I redo the mod I'd also like to try to tweak the indicators up a bit. I was debating them making them just a solid yellow arrow without any detailing or drop shadows (like the elite borders), but that might look like total ass.

And speaking of elite border, maybe it's just my imagination, but it seemed for some of them when they're on your skill bar the left side is thinner than the right. ..Or maybe it was the right that was thinner than the left, I don't remember. But regardless, I'd look at the border sometimes and it would just seem uneven. I remember trying to fix it, but adding an extra pixel's thickness was still causing it to be uneven on one side, sometimes even worse than before..

It's not your imagination, it is true that one side of the border is thinner than the other... see pictures below:

I zoomed into the icon and made a selection at the left border:

I then dragged the selection to the right hand side:

The right side has an extra column of yellow pixels.

About a new gold border, maybe you like one of these? (I understand the borders may be a little thin)

I wonder what's up with the random line of brown pixels on the sides and corners, too. I'm definitely going to have to redo this damn thing.

Runtime resizing. Resize the icon display in the UI to something that divides evenly by border_width/image_width (recommended) or turn off antialiasing (not recommended). You'll never be able to get rid of if by manipulating the image in the mod.
