Dark, (mostly)text focused UI

Hey everyone. It's been a while since I last used MoI and I thought of making a fresh iteration of an old UI of mine. My preference is a simple list of buttons, with text or text+icons over plain icons, except for the curves/solid tools at the bottom which can easily be identified. I need to update some icons though to distinguish between rectangle-center, rectangle-3pts, etc. I also consolidated the View/Select tabs to a Misc tab along with some custom commands.
I'm not too much into HTML/css/js so I'm struggling a bit to get it to look how I want

Ok, this is the interface you are using in your MOI / Blender car modeling video. When I watched the video I wasn't sure what app you are using.

I do not think this interface would be of interest to me as the present MOI ui is one of the most user friendly I have ever used. Wished more 3D apps were as easy to grasp as MOI.
Not sure how you could improve on MOI's ui. The only thing I would like is to have MOI be able to use a dual monitor setup.

Do you have dual instances of Moi3D and use this UI setup for more organic workflows?
I can see some positives and negatives.
Personally im satisfied with V5:s new UI its crisp and clear enough and easy to understand.
Not that V4 is bad either.

Sorry for the very late reply guys, but I never get notifications from this board.
I didn't keep track of which files I've changed so I'm including all htm and png, and of course the window layout and css file.
Please back-up your MoI installation before trying this! Then extract the archive to where MoI is located, overwriting files.

You cant replicate the modulus inch by inch?

So we can download the theme as V:5 Compatible instead of a loose frame-work?

Would be great to have two instances of V:5 running and the "Black Theme" as one instance.

Hi Fredrik. I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean, but if you back up your Moi installation then you can apply this UI mod by copying over the files to the new installation, and launch whatever "version" of the two you wish at any time.

Make it a theme.
Back-engineer the whole thing again.

I dont want to write over my Moi3D.

Was that fair enough?
I think the idea is great.

But not to write it over, its seems a bit too...lazy...
Especially when V.5 is out...

This is NOT a theme, it replaces parts of the UI.
And you don't "write over your Moi3D". You make a copy of it and overwrite that copy with what's in the zip. It's literally 2 steps.
How's that lazy when you don't want to put the slightest of effort yourself?

Ill fully understand.

I made my own Theme with the "blackness" in mind. (see embedded picture on best laptop buy for Moi3D).
Not black but more dark...LOL...
Although it would be cool to make it a theme-compatible named Black (or something)...

But ill understand what you mean.
I prefer the Thematic way of doing things for now.

No worries, I understand too, and I hope my previous reply didn't come up as rude! (It's the language barrier)
