Hi Tim, I'm really glad you are liking MoI! :)

Well unfortunately it won't stay that way for v4. MoI v3 and earlier are designed to be functional on very low memory graphics cards like even the original first GeForce and Radeon cards.

Times change though and it's hard to focus both on that and also for current video cards that can have 500 times as much memory. So MoI v4 will not be able to function on that kind of really really ancient graphics hardware unlike MoI v3. Also MoI v4 requires Windows 7 64-bit or higher, while MoI v3 can actually run as far back as Windows 2000 (with DirectX9 update installed).

It's not that MoI v4 requires anything particularly fancy, just that it needs more than the 32 MB (MB not GB) of VRAM that MoI v3 could actually work ok with.

It is possible to move them by editing some of the UI definition files, where do you want them to go? Are you using it in portrait position too?
