Stay On Top MultiBox Buttons for Everquest

This little utility just adds a row of buttons for each EQ session you have running. The buttons stay on top so you can quickly activate a session rather than relying on Alt+Tab.

This program is not approved by, or associated in any way, with Daybreak Games. I don't work for them and am not connected to them in any way. Use at your own risk.

Icons used in EQButtons are produced by Icons8.

Installation:

Just unzip the latest eqbuttons.zip file and run the eqbuttons.exe inside

Runtime:

Run your EQ sessions first and then start eqbuttons. If you add sessions later, you can either shutdown eqbuttons and reload or run the File->Reload Processes menu option and the sessions will reload. You will then need to name your sessions if you use that feature.

Malware/Antivirus Warning

Some offbrand malware/viruscheckers have flagged EQButtons as potential malware. It is a false positive based on the tool I use to create an executable. Since it is a few oddball checkers with the issue I don't see any point in wasting my time trying to convince them it is not. If you are interested in why the issue exists, google "pyinstaller malware false positive".

I just wanted to point out that: 1. yes, I am aware of the issue. 2. no, I probably won't do anything to fix it. And 3. if you are not comfortable running it, I understand. Don't run software you are not comfortable running.

I will say that sourceforge (the site you are on to get the file) does scan for virii and malware on all files downloaded. You can view detals of that here: Does SourceForge have malware?.
