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.

Thanks Michael but I've already tried that, unfortunately without success.

Hi Pieter,

re:
> Thanks Michael but I've already tried that, unfortunately without success.

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

- Michael

Hallo Michael kann es sein das ich noch die 90 Tage Test Version benutze?

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

- Michael

Hello Michael, here is the screenshot (hopefully the screenshot will also work).



-Pieter

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.

- Michael

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

- Michael

Hi Michael,

it worked now my moi is complete, you are my hero many thanks for your effort and patience !!!

Many greetings
Pieter

Hi Michael,
what do you mean when the Moi v 5 is to be bought?
-Pieter

HI Pieter, sorry I don't have any idea yet when v5 will be released. The beta test period hasn't even started yet but that should get going pretty soon.

- Michael

Hi,

I tried the installer and it worked.

But there are number of things I need to bring over from the existing MOI setup.

So for now I renamed the MOI AppData folders and my MOI was back EXCEPT it was still a dark scheme while mine was light.

What controls that?

Thanks much. Great work.

Frederick

Hi Frederick, that would be primarily controlled by the moi.css file inside the UI subfolder in the install. Try restoring that file back to the default version.

- Michael

Yup,
just copy the original Moi.css (and maybe Moi.ini if you wan that too) from the (appdata/moi/ui directory back to the (appddata)Moi directory, i.e. one level up from the ui directory.
(The original Moi directory is the "Moi - Copy" directory that the installer created and backed up all your original moi stuff into)

Hi,

Thanks.

To undo the install just for now I renamed the Moi folder to Moi - DARK and the Moi - Copy folder to Moi.

There is no UI folder in the Moi folder.

Frederick

After I copied the .css file to MOI program directory (UI) I always get this error, how to fix?

And the Linux guy shows up late to the party looking for a Dark UI.

I'll wait. :P

You don't have to wait, it is a built in feature for v5.

You can get the V5 beta at https://moi3d.com/beta.htm and then from Options choose "UI Theme: Dark".
