Known Issues
------------------------------------------
If you log out with minimzed windows it will save there location there and set their size to their minimum upon loging in.. Really annoying on chat windows.. Sorry no way to fix it..

Layouts for the chat/bag windows will not save on logout..

Chat windows: I include the 3 other layouts in the mods folder so you can choose what their default layout is..
Bag windows: I will do add other layouts later

Map will always revert to the largest size when logging in..

The Extra Windows that you open with a /Show_Window command will not save there location upon logging out..
