Hi Mr. Yuri,
I installed the custom UI that addresses that issue. I believe it's the version "Dark Gray Theme (MoI 4.0 beta) - Custom UI Bar.zip" I had to install and uninstall and test to find the one that worked out of the various .zip files there. The order of installation is important as you need to read in the author (Cody's) description below his screen grabs.

The nodeeditor I installed was Max Smirnov's latest build from his web site here:

Hi Michael,
took me a while to realize that your reply was on actually editing the icon images (icons).

My bad to phrase it like that.
First: Now I know this can be done. :) But it's too much work for me and default icons looks OK to me

Second: My question should be "how can I add/remove icons that are at the bottom pane?" I have slidebar below which is quite irritating to work with and there are commands (icons) I can remove from the bottom.

Thanks,
Juraj

Hi Juraj,

In your installation folder, there should be a "startup" folder. I believe those are the buttons that you wish to remove.

Rename the files that you don't want to have by adding an underscore in front... "05 Select Buttons.js" becomes "_05 Select Buttons.js" The number in front also controls the order in which they appear.

Let us know if you wish to change specific buttons within those JS files and we can provide more instruction for that.

Hi Yuri,
For MoI4Beta
For Windows, under %Appdata%...Moi/startup, (or your equivalent), there are icons such as the 6 align icons.
By renaming "50 Align Buttons.js" to "50 Align Buttons.BAKjs", with out ", the 6 align icons no longer appear at the bottom of the MoI screen.

(The underline preface method of Cody did not work for me...(?))
- prefix used to work, to disable, but no longer(?)
(HiDef monitor is very nice.)

My theme page is more complicated than it needs to be, to be honest. Many little changes happened over a short period of time and it's convoluted now.

I'll be revamping my theme page soon to provide a much clearer, foolproof way to understand and install (and possibly uninstall) the options.

-- Cody

This is why I like MoI.

If one know how, many things are very easy to do and customize.

Thanks Michael for explanation and quick reaction.

Thanks Cody for info as well. And just let you know I already have your dark theme and command bar plugin :)

Keep up the good work guys ;)

Sounds great Cody. I like the theme and with a little css edits it's fairly customizable :) I subscribed to this thread if we get updates.

Thanks!

Jason

I noticed that the hyphen did not work as well (it used to work though), but an underscore does work for me. Weird. Something is definitely different now.

Hi Guys :)
Found few things I'd like to know.

1. Now when I open MoI with Darktheme I see almost all icons (or sections?) collapsed.
Is there a way of choosing which sections will be opened at startup. I'm noob-programmer.

2. @Michael. maybe hint for later release. Would it be possible to map a command into Options> shortcut keys> map a command by clicking on something?
e.g. User want to assign simple 'Move' command to a shortcut keys so when there is a space to enter command, user would click command icon in moi interface and click will be "translated" into input window.
But I will find move command in manual or somewhere so I know how to do it. But if it's simple enough programming, you can implement it in the future for moi beginners :)

Thanks

I don't believe the theme is interfering with how the icon panels initially are opened/closed. There were no changes to any code within that file. I believe MoI determines the available vertical space and auto-closes tabs as necessary.

Are you running MoI 3.0 or MoI 4.0 Beta?
What is your desktop resolution?
Is the application launching fullscreen or are you expanding it afterwards?

There are ways to manipulate how those panels are displayed. I have seen screenshots of panels where, say the Draw curve and Draw solid were combined into one panel. I have not done this myself, however.

-- Cody

Hi Cody,
It happened ever since I installed on fresh install of MoI 4latest beta > Darktheme > CustomUI bar

Clean MoI was fine.

I have Windows 10-64bit and full HD display.

I'm lunching full screen.

Hi Mr. Yuri,

Try this - unmaximize the MoI window and stretch out the non-maximized size to be large, then close the window so that will establish the regular non-maximized window size. If the non-maximized window size is small I think that can cause the type of issue you are describing.

I do want to work on something similar to that in the future.

- Michael

Interesting. Depending on how MoI is calculating the available space, the change of borders and padding with the icons, tabs and panels could possibly affect that. I did try some pretty crazy stuff at times when playing around with what could be accomplished with CSS. I'll keep this bug in mind as I continue to poke around with MoI.

When you say "full HD" display, you're talking about 1920 x 1080, correct?

If this problem persists after you try Michael's suggestion, we'll continue this in my Dark Gray Theme thread so we don't flood this Custom UI thread.

I use MoI 3.0 on Win XP (32-bit at work) and Win 8 (64-bit at home) and don't have problems... and thanks, Michael, for being so practical and reasonable about how you allow people to use the MoI software license. I would not have been able to make my Dark Gray Theme at work, nor practice modelling techniques on my own spare time without your generous stance on licensing. You rock, man!

I installed the MiniSidepane.js and it is exactly what I wanted, cool!

But it is missing the selection and hide buttons. How do I get these to show?

Hi Michael,
your suggestion worked.
When I switched to window mode it was very small.
So I expanded the window, expanded all the sections and set it to full screen.
Now when I open MoI the sections are expanded.

Thanks
Juraj

@Death,

Do you possibly have a customized side pane UI?

Can you show what your side pane looks like?

- Michael

Hi Michael,

sorry for the late response, was out all day...

Here's the screen grab from the side panel,

thanks for taking the time!

Hi Death, since you have already customized the side pane you shouldn't use MiniSidepane.js - the way it works is it shuffles around some of the HTML content using script and it makes assumptions that the side pane contents are in their regular default setup.

It's meant to be used to rearrange the default side pane palettes, it doesn't really make sense to use it if you have customized and reordered it yourself already.

- Michael

The thing is that they are missing...

I didn't change anything with the sidebar except adding the script in the startup folder.

Even if I use the unmodified MOI, they are still missing, so it isn't the customization that made them disappear...

Unless it' a Beta 4 issue?

Hi Death, what you are showing there is a customized side pane, you probably got it from the dark UI customization.

re:
> I didn't change anything with the sidebar except adding the script in the startup folder.

You must have done so in order to get what you are showing.

If you didn't make a backup of the original UI before modifying it, you can get it by doing a reinstall.
