Both of these seem like they'd be simple enough, but I honestly wouldn't have a clue, as UIBuilder scares me.

What I'd like is firstly for these effects windows to have slightly larger icons. Secondly, it would be awesome if this great maintained window's icons could be made slightly smaller than they currently are.

I did open these windows up in UIBuilder, just to have a look and see if it might be an easy thing, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of anything with that program... it looked like the icons might be currently 20x20px in one, and 30x30px in the other. If that's the case, could the sizes be swapped, so that the effects/detrimental effects had 30px icons, and the maintained had 20px ones, please?

Thanks in advance,

For the effects window, you would simply change the CellSize="20,20" in the VolumePage to "30,30" and then change all the Icons (there's about 30) to have a Size, ScrollExtent, MinimumSize, and MaximumSize of "30,30"

You could probably just do a Search and Replace for "20,20" and replace with "30,30" in the whole file. That first mod has like 10 versions, so do it to the one you'd like



As for the Maintained window, you'd have to change all the Icon sizes from "30,30" to "20,20". But the text would still take up the same amount of space. You wouldn't really be able to change that unless you found a smaller font, and you would have to change all the Pages from Size="200,31" to a smaller size to line them up....

Okay, thanks for the quick response. The first one I get, no problem... have done that in a text editor, and it works. Thanks!

Alternatively, would it be difficult to make the maintained window fill differently? As in, top to bottom first, then adding additional columns to the right as needed? As it is, it spreads the icons over columns as soon as you resize.

Don't take my answer as gospel, but as I recall we have no power over the way those windows fill up, so I think we're limited to the way they do it now.

Well I think now it just depends on where the window is on your screen. It auto-changes. Dunno about if you can switch it otherwise. Haven't looked into though.

There are a number of fill options we have available (VolumeFill property of the volume page), but as you said, it already does what you want if you make it big enough so I'm not sure what you need changed.

No, sorry, I wasn't clear. What I mean is, at the moment, say you've got 10 things maintained, and the window is sized such that a single column is visible:
(X=spell icon)

X maint1
X maint2
.
.
.
X maint10

If you then widen the window to double column size, it will distribute those 10 things into 2 columns - 5 in each.

X maint1 X maint2
X maint3 X maint4
....... .........
........ .........
........ X maint10

What would be ideal is if you could make it fill one existing column to the bottom extent of the window, and only start filling a second column after the first one has no space left.

X maint1 X maint9
X maint2 X maint10
X maint3
.......
.......
.......
.......
X maint8

@Drumstix: I'm not sure about the default one, but this particular mod doesn't actually auto-change. It fills up the same way regardless of where it is onscreen. Left to right first, and then top to bottom, as far as directional priority of how it fills. I'm wondering if someone could change it to be top to bottom first, then left to right.

Confused? I certainly am. Hope I'm explaining this a little better...

Try adding this property to the VolumePage object:

VolumeFill="down_left2right"
