Thanks.
Sorry, I renamed it, it's all good now....

The CSS is in the ui directoy after the unrar. See step D.

Thanks for the nice theme - i really like it.
But i'm missing the reverse button in the viewports and all scripts in the extra folder are not found. Everything else works like charme.
From: Phiro
Hi binfordboy,
Your problem with Extra directory is a parameter to modify in the moi.ini file in the Commands section.
Set with your own windows user_login to fix the problem
[Commands]
AdditionalCommandsDirs=C:\Users\***USER_LOGIN***\AppData\Roaming\MoI\extras
From: binfordboy
Thank you, that fixed it.

Read Step 4 and 5 under section C (UNRAR THE UI) above, they are new and fix the issues.
I also update the download file to include the extra instructions, so everything is up to date, you might want to re-download the "Death UI.rar" again to have the latest version; in case you ever want to modd your UI from scratch again. That way the instructions included are also corrected.

ohayo !
how did u manage to have several folders with kitbash ?
From: Death
Read the "Death UI Modding.txt" file, it's all explained in there (step by step on how to do your own library folders)
It is included in the "Death UI.rar" you can download at the bottom of the first post.
Have fun!

Hi. when for Mac?

Hi mercar,
re:
> Hi. when for Mac?
It should probably work on the Mac version. The appdata folder on Mac is at ~/Library/Application Support/Moi .

Shortcut Keys descriptions for those who don't want to download the .RAR file again...
View Keys
=========
Home: Resets 3D view to normal view (like the reset button)
Shift+Home: Resets the 3D view to normal, including the orientation
Alt+Home: Isometric 3D View
Ctrl+Home: Perspective 3D View (to get back from Isometric to normal view)
Numpad+: Zoom in 3D View
Numpad-: Zoom out 3D View
Space: Toggles betwen views. I.e.: If mouse is in top view space switches to 1 view only (the top), hit space again, it goes back to split view. works on all views that way. Convenient way to select a "big screen work view" then back to normal.
End: Toggles hidden line display.
V: Switches between saved 3D views
Shift+V: Save snapshot of current 3D view
Alt+V: Clear ALL the saved views
(Extremely useful! Press shift V to save the 3D view, go to other side of model, save that view, now you have 2 work views to toggle between every time you hit V.
You are not limited to 2 views either. Save 1, save 10 or whatever.)

Hi Jack, thanks so much for putting all of this together, it's super useful and has saved me tons of time!
Just wondered if a small niggle I'm experiencing with the theme is to be expected or not...
The command panels (Draw/Edit, Construct/Transform) are all open at once, which is fantastic and exactly what I am after, which looks just like this:
When I choose a command though, all panels except the one containing the selected command collapse, and I have to re-open the panels again.
E.g. If I create a primitive by clicking Box within Draw/Edit, this happens:
And when nothing is selected after the command has completed, the panels remain closed, needing to be manually re-opened (Draw/Edit collapsed):
Is there anything I can do to keep those panels open at all times, or at least to expand when I don't already have an active tool selection?
For bonus points, is it also possible to collapse the void at the top of the panel when the information/inspector panel isn't present, like this?:
Also, I had a thought when doing the install of your excellent ui; would an installation helper be of any use? A batch or exe file which could perform the various backups and drop the files into their relevant locations without needing further user input?
Seems like a weakness of how modifications work in general and might bring things like your UI to more people?
Anyways, thanks so much in advance!

Option / General / UI Size is the parameter you searched.
with 9.5 or less, you'll have no problem.

Like Phiro said.
That is also in the instructions...
Under NECESSARY CHANGES:
3. Scroll the UI slider to 9.5
Anyway, they collapse because your screen space is limited and new panel areas opening claim it.
Making an installer was on my mind,but then I thought about all the stuff that can happen if the user doesn't have administrator privileges. The clean up of the mess would be more work than doing it as is.
If I closed the top gap (used by filename, entry panels etc.) the the ui would jump about every time you use a command with input and the vertical position of the commands would change all the time, not nice behavior.
(BTW, the dimensions panel and its options is also always open. You might want to download the .rar file again and extract the SidePane.htm file and replace the one in your c:\user\YOURUSERNAME\appdata\roaming\moi\ui directory.)
I'll do some research on installers and if it pans out automate the whole process...

There will be a new UI theming mechanism for v5. The way it works is there is a new "themes" folder inside the Moi appdata folder. Themes are created as a sub-directory under there.
A theme contains a defines.inc text file which sets up symbol definitions for things like:
TEXT_COLOR #ABFF5D
The UI has been updated to use those symbols, like moi.css will have color:$$TEXT_COLOR$$; in it.
When moi.css or any .htm file is loaded it will be scanned for $$symbols$$ and have the value from the theme's defines.inc expanded in place of the symbol.
The theme folder can also have its own moi.css file which will get appended to the end of the regular moi.css file when the theme is active, and any images in the themes folder will be used in place of the standard image.
There will be 2 themes built in to the standard install, "Default" (similar to the current standard UI) and "Dark".
There will be a theme manager UI where you can make a new theme (which will create a new theme folder in appdata) and adjust color values:
