Excellent work on the Inventory mod. (I'm sure the other pieces are great, too; I just haven't looked at them, yet.)

Here are a few fixes to minor bugs that I found:

1. Stats overlay wasn't working until after going to 3/4 mode and back. Fix: change default value for TabPages visible property to true.

2. Gold separator dots (between equipment slots) aren't positioned correctly in 3/4 mode (didn't even really notice the little gold dots were there, until I saw them over my equipment slots). Fix: remove the styles from the DotFrames, add dot images as separate objects inside the DotFrames and position them in normal mode, and set PackLocation for the dot images for bottom frame to "fpf,cpc" and side frames to "cpc,fpf" (DotFrames, themselves, should be "fpf,fpf" with PackSize="proportional,proportional").

3. Upper right corner of collapsed frame is visible while in expanded mode. Fix: set default visible property for main WC_Frame and WC_Backdrop to false, and toggle their visibility with the buttons' OnPress events. (Of course, this may not be an issue, if your modified framestyles file clips the little tab off of the upper right corner (I only extracted the inventory file) but, since I also changed the BigBG frame back to the standard win_gold frame, hiding the frame and background eliminates any possible aesthetic issues )

4. Playername can be too big for 3/4 mode. Fix: change PlayerName font to FontZapf16 with OnPress event for Shrink button (and back with Zoom button). (I also reduced the font for Overflow Items)

I run in 1024x768 mode, and there were some minor issues with text and button positioning in the file for this mode, but these were easily fixed.

I also made a few changes for personal preference:
- changed frame style for BigBG back to standard (win_gold) frame and added titlebar (since all of my other windows have the standard look and feel).
- moved 'window settings', 'help', and 'close' buttons back to the top (in the title bar) for expanded mode (due to force of habit from years of clicking upper right corner to close a window) and moved zoom and collapse buttons in their place.
- removed harvesting tooltip (nice feature, but accidental mouseovers resulting in a large tooltip are slightly annoying). I'm working on something else that will display this information.

I figured it would be better to just post the fixes on your thread, rather than upload my minor mod to your mod. You deserve all the credit for all of your hard work on this brilliant mod.

i suggest making the hide/view stats available on the 3/4'th inventory. Good job, thanks for fixing that recipe creep
I thought about doing this, but thought "why bother?" The fonts would have to be reduced so much that it would barely be readable. It's easy enough to just click the 'Zoom' button, when I want to compare stat changes for different inventory items. I do love this feature! I hated having to open up my persona window AND inventory window to compare stat changes with new items.
