Very, very, very cool!

That's what I always wanted.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I reviewed the instructions several times and repeated the process with the same results, each time using the advised 9.5 UI Scale, rather than electing to lower it further in interest of being able to see it still.

Just as a bit of feedback 9.5 does not work for a resolution of 1920x1080 on Windows 11 with a maximized window. Anything below 9.5 does, at least in my case on the two machines I have tested.

On the installation experience, I asked as prelude to offering to produce one in interest of giving some effort back, though Michael's response of an updated theme system in the next version would seem to make this whole idea happily redundant.

On the top gap, I understand that it isn't to your taste to have toolbar items move. Different strokes for different folks there (: great testament to how customizable Moi can be for us all.

Ah! I didn't think anything was wrong with the SidePanel.htm in my %AppData% (roaming appdata); it is identical to the one inside of the rar (verified via diff comparison). Is mine not behaving properly?

Cheers all

Hi thejinx, re: "top gap", yes that gap is an intentional part of the UI design. Commands will fill that area in with their options and UI controls when they are running.

Some more info here and instructions on how to modify it if you want to try that:

The 9.5 setting works well for monitors with higher than gaming res. (vertical >1080 pix).

For smaller res, you should adjust the value. If you drag the slider around, you will see the UI update accordingly. I suggest the largest you can get away with while still having ALL the panels open (for readability), your choice of course...


I am looking at installers right now.

Have fun!

Hi folks, I am new to this forum and have discovered the great Moi 3D program, many thanks to Michael.
I also beautified the Moi surface, many thanks to Tod.
However, I get an error message:

[url = https: //postimg.cc/347f40Y8] [img] https://i.postimg.cc/pT5wSKSF/Ohne-Titel.png [/ img] [/ url]

I also don't see the Reverse.png icon (in the Moi interface) I followed the instructions exactly.
Maybe I'll make a mistake, I would be very grateful for any help.
I have an iMAC 3.8 GHz with Big Sur, I know whether the uploading of the picture worked, otherwise please provide instructions on how to upload pictures in the forum.
I apologize for my english, i use google to translate.

Warm greetings
Pit

Hi Pieter, to insert an image put it in like this:

code:
<img src="http://url_goes_here">

So for your image set it in your forum message like this:

code:
<img src="https://i.postimg.cc/pT5wSKSF/Ohne-Titel.png">


For the error message, have you possibly removed the scene browser with some of your changes?

If so then you'll need to modify DeathPane.js and remove the piece of it where it is trying to access the scene browser and expand the sections during program startup.

That would be the part that goes like this:
code:
var items = moi.ui.sceneBrowser.rootItems;
for ( var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i )
    items[i].expanded = true;

No I have not removed anything when I read the lines:
var items = moi.ui.sceneBrowser.rootItems;
for ( var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i )
items[i].expanded = true;
delete the error message is gone. Thanks.
How do I get the Reverse.png icon into my Moi interface?

That answer is in the instructions...

Under: C) UNRAR THE UI
~
5.) copy the "Reverse.png" image from the new "C:\Users\YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MoI\ui"
to the:
"C:\Program Files\Moi 4.0\ui" directory
~

that's exactly what I did. But that doesn't work on the Mac!

"/Users/pit/Library/Application Support/Moi/ui"

"/Users/pit/Programme/Moi 4.0/ui"

I did that.

I don't know Macs, this was made for windows...

I assume the:

/Users/Pit/Programme/Moi 4.0/ui

is the actual folder where the MoI program resides on a Mac? If not, it needs to go to the actual Moi installation folder, NOT the user's folder.

Maybe somebody here with a Mac has an answer?

On Mac, right-click on the .app and on the menu that pops up choose "Show package contents". Then there is a "ui" symlink there that will take you to the ui folder which is located inside the app folder under Contents/Resources/ui .

The direct path if you have installed MoI v4.app inside of the /Applications folder is:

/Applications/MoI v4.app/Contents/Resources/ui


Note that on a Mac an .app is actually a folder but when you double click on an app it launches the app and doesn't open up the folder as normally happens with other folders. But to open up an app as a folder you can right click on it and choose "Show package contents".

@thejinx:

Regarding the easier install:

After having checked out a few installers available the last few days, I have come to the conclusion that it would be easier to write one myself.

I can now be found in a separate thread this one is getting too crowded...

The thread is:
Easy Installer Dark Neutral Grey UI Complete with Instructions
http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10509.1

It creates everything automatically.

Hi Pieter,

re:

Can you show a screenshot of where you have placed it?

Hi Pieter, it should work the same with the trial version.

Hi Pieter, I'm able to see your screenshot if I navigate directly to the image URL. I think that service isn't allowing images to be hotlinked from another web site.

So anyway yes that looks like you've got it in the correct place.

What does the place where it is supposed to show up look like? Is there a placeholder icon there? If not then there is probably another file that also needs to be updated to set up the button that then wants to use the image.

Hi Pieter, I think the file that uses the image is ViewControls.htm , so update that file as well, in the same folder.
